Spring 2142 and Gated Galaxies has launched its 400 Oz-8000 ships, each carrying 50,000 "resting guests" to, hopefully, a new home on a shiny, brand-new planet. As soon as they find one. IF they find one.

This is the story of one of those ships – the Oz 9 – and its tiny crew of hopeless incompetents. So far, they've been in space half an hour and several hundred people are dead. So... bright future, clearly.

    LOOK. I never said it would be the MORNING of September 19, I just said it would be ON September 19, so I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
    It's episode 61, and incredibly, it seems our crew might have actually lost some brain cells over the hiatus. I swear, if there's a skull and crossbones on it, this crew wants to eat it, marry it, or at least put it in the garage next to something flammable.

    Tim Sherburn as Colin
    Bonnie Brantley as Donna and Jessie
    David S Dear as Dr. Theo
    Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer
    Kevin Hall as Greg
    Aaron Clark as Le Bichon Frise
    Richard Cowen as Leet
    Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield & Henri

    I sent him a hippotigrus

    It's true many people complain that Oz 9 is not only NOT educational, it may in fact "leach information out of your brain as you listen." (thanks, mom — real nice)
    We beg to differ. Did you know zebras were once called "hippotigruses" (hippotigri? whatever)? Think of how much you've learned about plants and space and maths and fugu and Sweden!
    Anyway, if we're making you dumber, I think you know exactly what Olivia would have to say to that. Because that's ANOTHER THING YOU LEARNED.

    You are a naughty little schatzi

    You thought your job was hard, imagine being Narrator (or Narrator 2, really) for this boatload of Twinkies. (Which, incidentally have still not shown any signs of decomposition in 2142, just sayin'.)
    If our Narrator makes it through his contract without developing a neurosis (or cirrhosis), well, it's not our fault.
    Avocado yogurt.... avocado yogurt....

    Is there anyone on the bridge whose name isn't completely douchey?

    Is there anyone on the bridge whose name isn't completely douchey?

    Yeah, it's kind of a long title, but it's an important question. 
    This episode is a flashback in which random, weird stuff happens, just in case you were wondering if 2021 and 2022 were the weirdest history gets.

Laughs in Space

This show is a surprising gem and deserves to be getting a lot more attention. I recently discovered it even though it has been around for several years. I am totally hooked. It is thoroughly ridiculous but so intelligently written, such a great cast and excellent stagecraft (first-rate sound special effects). You can sense its Seattle roots — absurdist but big-hearted — and it pokes fun at just about every conceivable nationality. I am a fan. My compliments to the team behind this one.
