Outer Space Astronauts

I know a lot of people think Scyfy and comedy don't mix... but I for one was a huge fan of Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, and I think people need to give this show a chance. I saw the previews for the show, and immediately I had high hopes... but upon watching the pilot, I felt the show was very dry (at first). But by the time the show ended, I was in love with the show, and my hopes had been fulfilled.

I gave the other episodes a chance, and a lot of them were surprisingly good. Lots of laughs to be had with this show, please give it a chance... watch more than one episode! It took me a couple episodes to start understanding and liking certain characters.

In conclusion, this show is really good... but I can tell it's not very popular. The theme song kicks butt, the characters are hilarious and well written... very bizarre CGI effects that add to the humor... WATCH THIS SHOW!

I've read some of the reviews here complaining about this show, and it just goes to show that some people really don't have much imagination.

This show is not your run of the mill cartoon (like we don't have enough of those already). The animation is intentionally weird, but so what? Not everything has to look like it came from Disney - and the use of live action heads allows the characters to have human expression while hitting a low production cost point.

The writing on this show is what I enjoy. It is sort of a cross between Star Trek and Green Acres. Commander Dick Amos is a space age equivalent of Hooterville's Oliver Douglas. He's the only reasonably sane person in an environment filled with odd-balls, incompetents, and just plain morons.

Like Oliver Douglas, Commander Amos continually struggles to control the anarchy around him when he'd probably be better off just to sit back and let it happen. Things in this show tend to take care of themselves in odd and unexpected ways.

This show isn't for everyone, and you're either going to get it or not. If you don't, just move on and watch a rerun of Three's Company or something similarly non-challenging. If you have a more adventurous sense of humor, put on your "Diplomatic Hat" and enjoy it.

I am almost not a Teenager anymore but i thought this was one of the funniest shows i've seen in awhile. Its not stale like every other cartoon comedy out there. Being a stickler for good animation it didn't take me long to get that the animation is half the fun.there used to be times when me and my friends could laugh about a joke on TV shows like South Park and Family Guy for weeks, but its all the same formula after all these years. I really enjoyed this show, stupid comedy is something i miss. plus if you like any Science fiction space movies or TV show you will find this a kick. So give this a chance for at least a few episodes it was truly darn funny.

I really enjoy this show! I've watched the five episodes a few times now, and my only disappointment is that there aren't anymore available – yet.

The animation is as quirky and awkward as the characters and the situations they find themselves in. As strange as it may seem, the animation style (with the actors' live-action heads attached to animated bodies) totally works for this show. I've met the show's creator Russell Barrett (great guy!) who said he started with nice CGI bodies, but they looked creepy. After giving it more of a cartoon/2D look, I feel he ended up with the perfect vehicle to deliver his tongue-in-cheek writing.

The show is certainly not meant to be taken seriously. It is light, fun, goofy, sarcastic, and witty – all with a dash of space adventure flair.

I sincerely hope SyFy gives the crew of the O.S.S. Oklahoma another season. Watch a couple of episodes, and if you like it let SyFy know. More Outer Space Astronauts, please!

This show is great and really creative.

It plays off the fact that it's low budget and relishes in it. The writing is amazing and the comedy is intentionally silly, smart, and irreverent.

The only way to describe it is Sealab 2021 (adult swim) with a Star Trek setting... but since Sealab is a little obscure another way to put it is South Park meets Star Trek, as the story lines revolve around poking fun at the star trek themes.

If you were a fan of Sealab 2021, or the home made adult swim comedy shows you will absolutely love this show.

The majority of reviews on this new show are great but every once in a while you get some who is way to serious and comes in and complains about the production value... while letting it go way over there head that it was intentionally made this way and that it's unique artistic flare adds to the punch line of the show.
