   Okay we all know that I love RD but "believability" is not a word I   
   would ever even think to attach to it. The point is that it doesn't   
   matter if a sci-fi comedy premise is believable... once you establish   
   the world and the characters that inhabit it, you can go with it even if   
   it's not believable.

   Who would believe a chicken soup nozzle cleaning man would write "I am a   
   fish" all over his officer's exam and then be sent to fix the drive   
   plate by himself? Or that cats will evolve to look exactly like humans?   
   No one, but it doesn't matter, it set up the premise for a funny show.

   There was one in the 90's called "Homeboys in Outer Space" but it didn't   
   last very long because it was rubbish.
