Features: DVD
Tripping the Rift is the continuing comic saga of five misfits who live, work and play on the starship Jupiter 42, which is controlled by a neurotic A.I. known as Spaceship Bob. Bob's neuroses are kept in check by the verbally abusive pilot T'Nuk, and the ship's inner workings are tended by Gus, the depressive robotic chief engineer. No one's really sure what job, if any, is performed by teen slacker Whip, but everyone knows what kinds of jobs sexy android Six specializes in. The captain, a walking purple blob of rancor named Chode, hates his crew and they hate him back, but they have bigger problems to worry about--namely, the corporate-minded Dark Clowns, who are bent on dominating the galaxy, and the hopelessly conformist Confederation, which will stop at nothing to bring our bumbling antiheroes to injustice.
"Worth the trip..." Newsday
Editor's Note
The starship Jupiter 42 is home to the five fun-loving, trouble-causing characters of TRIPPING THE RIFT. Run by anal-retentive Spaceship Bob, the spacecraft sees its fair share of drama and mischief. While Bob does his best to keep politics aboard the Jupiter 42 in order, captain Chode shows off his bad mood, and technician Gus makes sure the ship is in tiptop shape, pilot T'Nuck consistently makes things tense with his love for profanity, and teenager Whip gets by doing very little work. Meanwhile, busty and scantily clad android babe Six keeps the boys wanting more. In season one of this sometimes raunchy Sci Fi Channel animated comedy series, the gang must put their differences aside for the common cause of keeping the Dark Clowns and the Confederation--two evil forces intent on fighting for complete control of the universe--at a safe distance. The first season of the series is presented here in its entirety. Episodes include "God is Our Pilot," "Mutilation Ball," "Miss Galaxy 5000," "2001 Space Idiocies," "Sidewalk Soldier," "Power to the Peephole," "Totally Recalled," "Nature vs. Nurture," "Aliens, Guns and a Monkey," "Love Conquers All....Er, Almost," "The Devil & A Guy Named Webster," "Emasculating Chode," and "Android Love."
