Glen here...

...with a quick question re: coverage of the new "series" of the British comedy Red Dwarf.

Regular readers may recall MR. HIPPO's review of the show's season premiere, which ran on Coaxial last Thursday. CLICK HERE to jump to said review if you need to refresh your memory.

Anyway, I've been in touch with Mr. Hippo. Through his loud munching of various shrubbery, he asked if I would be interested in running an ongoing series of reviews about this new series. Basically, he proposed the following: he would watch the show as it aired, then immediately write a review of said episode. This review would then be sent to me for prepping and posting, which would have the review on-line for the world to see only a couple of hours after the episode actually aired in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Hippo will be swimming the Atlantic with his chubby little legs when several of the Red Dwarf episodes get aired. When this happens, his wife MRS. HIPPO has agreed to take up the slack, and review the eps during his absence.

Feedback to Mr. Hippo's last review has been quite positive. None the less, I would like to be sure that Coaxial readers would appreciated us choreographing these efforts - and that they would be enjoyable or advantageous to the readership, etc.

Neither Mr. Hippo or myself mind doing this. In fact, I think real-time reviewing an entire series (which may be coming to only a few American stations in about a month) is actually kinda groovy. I just want to be sure you guys dig the idea before moving forward with coordinating these efforts.

So, drop me a line - or post your response to Talkbacks - and we'll see what happens.
