The series attempts to put a positive spin on science fiction themes. It does pay homage to popular science fiction series of the 60's but is meant to focus on hopeful themes using the genre of comedy.The idea of the anthology is to produce half hour (approximately) comedy pieces that contain science fiction themes but without the dark message of earlier popular Sci-Fi television efforts.

Mr. Langford also founded and was the President of Audacity Entertainment, Inc. The cast has appeared in TV, Film and the stage.

Michele Merkin known for her work as host of "Wedding Wars" does the hosting duties here.
Mr. Pelton plays the lead in the opening episode. His character, a rather disoriented yet lovable young man is being pursued by aliens. The dilemma and comic device is that he seems to be the only one who knows this. The story follows his efforts to convince his family and friends that there is indeed a threat. There are aliens invading the earth. The fact that no one believes him or seems to care is a central theme. The apathetic reactions of the people he tries to persuade are an integral part of the story as well.
