Red Dwarf Season Two
I found Red Dwarf Season Two (or Second Series, as they would say in the UK) to be rather more entertaining than the first season. There were only six episodes, but "Better than Life", "Thanks for the Memory", "Stasis Leak", "Queeg", and especially "Parallel Universe" strike me as excellent. The last, in particular, presents one of the funniest satires I've seen of a subject that is near and dear to my heart (feminism).
The commentary tracks aren't that good if you're looking for details of how the series was filmed; it's more like the actors getting together years later and making fun of each other. But that's fun in its own right ;-). Sample quote: "Couldn't we have done that with dodgy acting?" "We're doing that with dodgy acting.".
