Outer Space Astronauts

"The OSS Oklahoma: A state of the art medium sized vessel in Earth space fleet with a crew of ten officers on the bridge. Currently on its mission: exploring the far reaches of space and supporting the needs of and defending our outposts and bases. The Oklahoma has been voted 'most fun' in the fleet the last three years."

- Commander Richard Amos, executive officer

Outer Space Astronauts is a 2009 TV series about the crew of the spaceship OSS Oklahoma and their adventures in space. The show is built on the fact that everyone is hilariously incompetent at their job as well as quite a bit crazy.

Everything is (badly) animated, except for the heads of the characters. Those are all played by actors and greenscreened onto the animated bodies. This contributes to the silly feel of the show quite well.
