Tripping the Rift had the tag line 'Lust in Space' and to watch it you would understand why. It deals with the story of Chode, a three-eyed, purple alien with green spots, who serves as captain of the smuggling spaceship Jupiter 42. T'nuk is the ill-tempered, triple-breasted, quadrupedal pilot of the ship, Whip is a bipedal alien reptile, and Chode's nephew. He serves as the ship's foreman.Gus is Chode's robot-slave. He is the ship's engineer and is implied to be homosexual Six of One/Six of Nine (or just Six) is a sexy cyborg that was designed as a sex slave. She acts as the ship's science officer, thanks to a programming upgrade by Chode, then comes Spaceship Bob is the A.I. that controls the ship. He suffers from agoraphobia, and often has panic attacks at inconvenient times.
We then have Chode's nemesis Darph Bobo is the supreme Dark Clown. He wants to take over the universe because he was teased as a child.
Finally we have Captain Adam Francis Shatner— Captain Adam is the captain of a Confederation ship. He resembles Al Gore, has a wife named Nancy and a clone/son named Adam 12. He has been known to blackmail Chode into doing his dirty work.
A movie version of the series has just been released and is worth a watch.
