[[File:dugpdcv_9179.jpg|frame| The crew from season two onwards]]
 
 
Line 7:
The premise is similar to that of [[Lost in Space]]. In the year 2034, the Earth has become so polluted it will soon be unable to sustain human life. The World Federation pulls its resources together and sends the spaceship Romano-Fafard and a crew of seven to find a habitable planet for humanity. However, not long into the first episode, the crew is informed that there are no habitable planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, and they will have to venture outside the Galaxy, effectively rendering all communications with Earth impossible. In their travels, the crew members explore far-flung new worlds (including [[Planet of Hats|a Casino planet named O'Vegas, a planet covered with nothing but telephone poles and another planet filled with dogs]]) and meet odd (if sometimes inexplicable) characters (including Réal Estate, a planet salesman; a Sith lord; and even the devil himself).
 
The series lasted for four seasons (1998-2001) and spawned two movies--themovies—the first in 2004, the second in 2008.

==== The crew consisted of: ====
 
* '''Captain Charles Patenaude:''' Played by Guy Jodoin. [[The Captain]] and often [[Only Sane Man]]. [[Malaproper]] with a love of speeches verging on [[Metaphorgotten]].
Line 62:
** Brad's childhood in particular borders on a running gag, as it doubles as his [[Freudian Excuse]]. He once insults someone by saying terrible things about their childhood, culminating with "Kids at school once had a contest of whom could throw the biggest rock at you, and your teacher won." only to stop and say "No wait, that's my childhood."
* [[Human Alien]]: Most of the time, any time an alien will show up, they'll end up looking no different than the crew. Otherwise, they will be [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]] or outright [[Starfish Aliens]].
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: And how. The crew usually refer to the <s>6</s> <s>5</s> 4 billion humans left on Earth as morons, and when encountering alien life forms who know about Earth, their reaction is usually unpleasant. In the movies, aliens went so far as to vomit when hearing the word "Human". A prophet the crew visited claimed that they would eventually find a habitable planet, but that a terrible creature would guard it. The terrible creature turned out to be a second human crew, who, unlike the original team, had no problem with killing the tribes that were already inhabitting the "promised" planet.
** {{spoiler|The final episode has the crew finding their goal of a perfect planet to move humanity and sends a signal back home. When the first ships get there... they just start a whole NEW war and force the crew to leave in a hurry, determined to find another perfect planet to leave behind the population of massive idiots.}}
* [[I Have Many Names]]:
