In my experience, 99% of Americans have no clue what Red Dwarf even IS unfortunately.

I remember the massacred pilot too.
(I also agree that they massacred "The Office" as well)

I seriously don't know why Hollywood feels this all encompassing urge to F' up (oh... I'm sorry... they call it "Americanizing") anything foreing when they decide to start filming for US TV or movie markets.

Hopefully someone will tape those episodes and get them on Youtube for us.

The Terry Pratchett book "The Color of Magic" got the "Americanizing" treatment somehow when they made the TV movie from that. They pretty much RAPED the book which was hilarious and perfect. And this was filmed by a British company even !
