We've
all had the experience of eating something that just didn't agree
with us. You get that queasy, churning feeling down deep in your
gut. Your head spins, you can't walk straight and all you can
think about is crawling into bed and sleeping it off. And then
you swear you never do *that* again.
I will NEVER watch Homeboys In Outer Space again.
How bad is it? Well, the pilot episode has a one-eyed soldier
of fortune in it named "Jed-Eye" [oh, I think I cracked a rib
laughing]. Star Trek's James Doohan shows up briefly, and the
reason he does is so he can work on the ship's engine and say
"I'm giving you all the power I've got, Captain." There's an obnoxious,
oversexed, Rikki Lake reject named Loquatia who is the face(and
voice)of the onboard computer. Their big competition in the soldier-of-fortune
game is a leather/plastic outfit wearing woman named Aroma....
and the list goes on...
It's not as if these people aren't talented. The show was created
by Ehrich Van Lowe, who worked on Fox's wonderful sitcom Roc.
Flex, who co-stars in the show, was superb in his last sitcom,
ABC's Where I Live. The other co-star Darryl M. Bell was
on A Different World. But apparently some giant show-biz
leech has grabbed the cast and crew and sucked all of the good
sense out of them.
Sheesh. This show can't get canceled quick enough for me.
HOMEBOYS IN OUTER SPACE airs on UPN Tuesday Night as 8:30PM Eastern
