The name “Syfy” still looks unbelievably stupid.
This show is a blatant ripoff of the Clip Critics on Youtube. Go see for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/clipcritics (full disclosure: I am in no way affiliated with the Clip Critics)
Maybe you should look at the dates before you flap jaw. The 5 episodes were started long ago.
Another thing, this show is good. It’s more for people who like dry humor. Fans of Red Dwarf are sure to appreciate it’s way of getting inside you and make you want to go there and take over. Evoking a response. So if it’s not your cup of tea, there are soap opera things for you – out-there.
And no I’m not affiliated in any way. Just a new fan.
I’ve seen all the episodes, and it is VERY funny. I would love to see more? It’s a send up of Trek/Stargate and a host of others.
Saw the episodes last year and they were hilarious but done before any of my friends had the chance to watch. When will they be on again?
