Outer Space Astronauts

OK, so I gave it a chance and suffered through all 20 minutes of this newest offering from Syfy. The guys who do their Saturday night movie dumps must have come up with this one. The animation is strange, putting human heads on animated bodies looks bizarre and not at all the comic effect I'm sure they wanted. The jokes are stale and juvenile and I'm willing to bet even teenagers wouldn't laugh at them. I was hoping for something along the lines of Tripping the Rift but I was sorely disappointed. There is no comparison. I'm beginning to wonder if the execs at SyFy actually take the time to screen shows or just listen to the pitches they get and then green light them. Most of the time I will give a new series at least a second episode before I judge them. 5 minutes into this mess and I didn't know if I could last the other 15. I did though, and really wish I hadn't.

The characters are great, the visuals are kinda neat, and it's pretty funny. And best of all, it's different. Now, I'll admit that it's not the funniest thing ever, but I do enjoy it a bunch and hope that it continues.

Brimley is my favorite character. All of the best lines comes from him. The only character that I could maybe do without is Kennedy. The actress who plays her does a poor job, in my opinion. I never find her to be believable. Everyone else is awesome, though.

Please, SyFy, keep showing this! This is a hundred times better than any of those crappy original movies that you show! Finally a reason to watch your channel again after you canceled MST3K!

This show is the Dumb and Dumber and dumber and dumber... of sci-fi space comedies.

The basic premise is that while the cream of he crop of humanity is out exploring the galaxy, the misfits, bums, and other losers of mankind just wander around for no apparent reason. These are their misadventures.

I've seen a couple of the episodes and they contain fairly solid mindless comedy. Some of the other reviewers compared it to "Tripping the Rift." I think I'd add some 3 Stooges, "Son of the Beach", "Office Space", "Space Balls", and the 70's series "Quark." If you are looking for high-brow comedy, look elsewhere. However, if you just want 30 minutes of silly humor from a show that obviously doesn't take itself the least bit seriously, this is worth checking out.

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.

The creativity and imagination involved in this show is above and beyond! The comedic talents alone are genius. It takes a bit of getting used to if you've allowed yourself to be inundated and insinuated into the "norm" of network comedy. This show is not for the faint-of-laughter or the humorless.

This show makes fun of every aspect of a space-related series whether it be comedy or serious. From chain-of-command to personal life to first-contact interaction, nothing is sane or sacred. Such a refreshing and irreverent approach to entertainment that has not been seen since "House".

The script is fresh and unhindered by social norm. Impudence and imprudence run rampant and free and make no apologies. The human condition is cloaked in the raiment of cheek.

It doesn't take a huge budget or top names to make great entertainment and "Outerspace Astronauts" proves it.

Way to go, guys! Put this show back on the air!
