Starship Regulars

Starship Regulars was an animated Macromedia Flash cartoon series created for Icebox by Rob LaZebnik, the producer of The Simpsons, in 1999.[1] It parodied modern science fiction programs such as Star Trek. The series is available at Icebox's website, as well as on Comcast video on demand.

In 2000, Showtime expressed interest in developing a live-action television version.

Setting

Starship Regulars is set aboard the massive Federation starship Integrity in the 24th century. The Integrity is commanded by Captain Bellagen (usually referred to as "The Captain"). The series focuses on three soldiers, Tycho, Wilson and Dave. In contrast to the morality shown by the Captain, Tycho and Wilson are shown to be more interested in "getting laid" or drinking booze.
