My first thought of course is going to go to the grudge that I have against the channel’s name change. I honestly do not understand why they couldn’t just leave it as SciFi. It does make more sense. But, there is nothing I can do about that. So, on to some more important things: Syfy is expanding its comedy block.
Starting on December 8th, the combination of live-action with 2D and 3D graphic animation will give Syfy its new half-hour show, the five-episode comedy series “Outer Space Astronauts.” This will be leading into the season finale of the hit reality series “Scare Tactics.”
Credit for this new thirty minute show goes to creator/executive producer Russell Barrett, along with executive producers David O. Russell and Scott Puckett. According to THR.com Syfy exec vp original content Mark Stern said, ”Syfy fans have never seen animation quite like this before. Russell literally produced this in his basement for more than a year, and that allowed him to create a unique series with a sharp, sly sense of humor.”
This futuristic comedy about eight military misfits who journey to the far reaches of the galaxy on board the O.S.S. Oklahoma was developed, executed and edited out of Barrett’s home with help of his childhood friends, some of whom star in the show.
