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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
