Don Lake steals the scenes he is in and John Malcavich is absolutely awesome, wandering between insanity and silly.
The only draw back for me was the stupidity is at times rediculous and the space scenes lack any value to the series. There are some political references I could have done without, but most were honestly in good humor.
If a second season is written, I hope those two can play off of each other more...they really are the show.
Steve Carrel was fine and he and John together were remarkable. His daughter, was for me pointless to the show and often times seemed like she was eating up valuable time for the other scenes.
Over all it is worth watching.
