Every version of this tale is worth time from the book to the radio plays to this and others. If you like Douglas Adams, you will dig this.
so funny. one of my fav books and it's such a enjoyable adaptation
Great introduction for me who hadn't heard on radio or read the books. Adams' whimsical, comedic, style and observations came through.
This is the only series you want to watch besides listening to the radio show. Wish it lasted longer. MOVIE FROM 2005 IS AWFUL AS SHIT
Very strange but amazing. Must watch if you love the books.
If you love the books, them I recommend this.
Might be a little old now, but I watched this repeatedly as a kid. The remake does not compare
The movie was great, the TV series is dated.
The best adaptation so far
Quirky movie with some funny parts

Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
The adventures of the last human alive and his friends, stranded three million years into deep space on the mining ship Red Dwarf.

Spaced: the anti-Friends, in that it examines the lives of common 20 somethings, but in a way that is more down to earth and realistic.

They are thrown together in a common pursuit of tenancy, which they find by posing as a couple. The house has a landlady and an oddball artist living there. The series explores the ins and outs of London living.
