Does no one remember LEXX??? Epic Si-fi show....

Brilliant, hilarious, irreverent, satirical, and way ahead of its time.

LEXX only had four seasons......
The first "Season" was four made for (Canadian/German) television movies. Campy, but twisted and too well written for something like this....

The next three were actual television series seasons, each more epic than the last..... and then it ends. Not like a show that was cancelled, it actually comes to an end.

I was going to post a YouTube link to a trailer or something but instead found this:

The entire series!

If you're a comedicly irreverent sci-fi fan, good luck doing anything else for the next 3-6 days

Space 1991 is over there, too, all episodes, watched it a few months ago. My god, the 70s HAIR! All those CRT screens! The hokey plot lines! The total lack of, you know, science!

I look forward to this one.

I'd heard of this show, but I didn't own a tv for much of the 1990s. I need a new sci-fi show to watch. I just finished catching up on The Expanse (its great, but it's not particularly humorous). Spring Break (for me) starts today at 5:30 when today's class finishes their midterm. Now I've got something to do for the rest of the week!

We watched it. I honestly don't remember much other than it had some oddball characters. I think it was on around the same time we watched Farscape.
