2000

19 25 minute episodes

SF elements

nearly every cliche in the book!

Review

[This was originally shown on C4 in 2001, but they mucked around with the scheduling so much, I decided to wait for it on DVD -- then it took me a while to get round to watching it!]

Just as gross, and as witty and inventive, as season 1, but even funnier, as the series finds its stride, and builds on previous episodes (especially the recurrent smarmy Zapp Brannigan), incorporating great references and spoofs of many films. Always remember to watch what's written on various billboards and notices in the background!

Rating: 3

[ unmissable | great stuff | worth watching | mind candy | unwatchable | unfinishable ]
