I really enjoy this show! I've watched the five episodes a few times now, and my only disappointment is that there aren't anymore available – yet.
The animation is as quirky and awkward as the characters and the situations they find themselves in. As strange as it may seem, the animation style (with the actors' live-action heads attached to animated bodies) totally works for this show. I've met the show's creator Russell Barrett (great guy!) who said he started with nice CGI bodies, but they looked creepy. After giving it more of a cartoon/2D look, I feel he ended up with the perfect vehicle to deliver his tongue-in-cheek writing.
The show is certainly not meant to be taken seriously. It is light, fun, goofy, sarcastic, and witty – all with a dash of space adventure flair.
I sincerely hope SyFy gives the crew of the O.S.S. Oklahoma another season. Watch a couple of episodes, and if you like it let SyFy know. More Outer Space Astronauts, please!
