Lloyd in Space

Lloyd in Space was an animated television series, running from February 2001 to February 2004. A total of 40 episodes in four seasons.

Living far in the future, shortly after the end of World War Nine, Lloyd Nebulon is a green-skinned alien (of the Verdigrean race) with strange ears and a single antenna sticking from his head. Lloyd lives in the Intrepidville Space Station along with his telekinetic and telepathic sister, Francine, and his mother, Commander Norah Li Nebulon, the Head of Intrepidville. Lloyd's friends are Eddie R. Horton (a ginger-haired American teenage human), Kurt Blobberts (an enormous purple blob with a single eyeball and simple intelligence, of a species known as the Blobullons), and Douglas McNoggin (a giant brain with arms, feet, eyes and a mouth, of a species known as the Cerebellians).

From the creators of Recess.

Contains examples of

 * Alpha Bitch: Brittany.
 * Ambiguous Gender: Done in one episode with a new guy who is part of a species that doesn't pick a gender until they turn a certain age. After much persuading to turn him (or rather, it) to one gender (and then flipping it), it decides that it's not telling them which gender it picks, and that they'll just have to wait until it likes one of them. What causes problems with this is that his voice is unmistakably a male voice.
