no wonder this never get past the pilot . the character ( with the exception of kryten ) be generic look and act and and speak with none of the wackiness of the uk version while utterly uninteresting . the joke fall flat than an amoeba in a centrifuge . even the joke rip straight from the uk version be deliver so badly they do not even elicit a smile . no understanding whatsoever of uk rd trench humor . the music add nothing . the whole mess be just . putrid beyond word . ho1ywood just can not seem to make any kind of comedy except banal machine gun rapid spray stupid sex joke and hope a few work and sort . compare to this the minute long pig in space segment of the muppet show be absolute masterpiece . misspell intentional .
