           Ah, now, I *did* watch that from the TCM Underground on Tivo   
   project of Stuff To Watch While Doing WiiFit Step Aerobics program.   
   And I think ... you know, _The Green Slime_ would have been a pretty   
   hard fit for the show.  It's got some great hooks to build on, such   
   as the pretty peppy theme song, but it's also got about fourteen   
   weeks of *nothing* as characters make vaguely Space Army talk at each   
   other.   
      
           The *good* bits come out kind of like _First Spaceship On   
   Venus_ so maybe it'd slip in well as a late season two entry.  But   
   done earlier in the show's history it would've been way too much of   
   a slog, and I think later on, they'd demand a little more substance.
