Red Dwarf USA (Pilot #2, 1992)

Special thanks to ‪@waymu-vhs‬ for helping me out with the upscaling of this!
In 1992, NBC and Universal Television set out to produce an American version of the hit BBC britcom "Red Dwarf", which by that time, was popular with American audiences with airings on PBS. This American version of the series would've featured a mostly new cast, save for Robert Llewellyn, who would reprise his role as Kryten.
There would be two pilots made, this was the second one produced. This pilot was more of a "highlight reel", as well as keeping some of the cast from the first pilot while featuring new actors, mainly Rimmer as well as Cat, who in this pilot, is a female.
Some clips from the British version were shown here, but unfortunately, the BBC originally took this video down because of it, so I had to edit them out.
While this pilot has been on TH-cam in several formats, the other versions were sourced from older encodes from the early-2000s. This comes from a multi-generation copy transferred via a Panasonic AG-1980 VCR with a Panasonic DMR-ES35V DVD recorder as a time base corrector, and then upscaled to 1080p.
