Homeboys In Outer Space

Two 23rd century black guys from the ghetto get into misadventures in space. They travel in the "Space Hoopty", a cheap, flying low-rider controlled by a Sassy Black Computer.

This Sitcom, in the name of comedy, ignored most of the known laws of astronomy, including the rule that you can't breathe in a vacuum. Unfortunately, this was a live-action series with a low budget, and terrible writing that, in retrospect, seemed more than a little racist. Due to a combination of low ratings, poor reviews from viewers and critics, and protests from the NAACP, the show was canceled after its first season.

Seriously, if this sounds like something you might be interested in, check out Red Dwarf instead. You'll thank us.

One of the first sitcoms UPN ever aired.

Batman Can Breathe in Space
The Cameo - James Doohan, as a Scottish guy that hung out in the bar and gave the protagonists advice.
Getting Crap Past the Radar - They said the name of a female sexual organ on-air.
In The Future Humans Will Be One Race - one planet had natives all convert to a give skin color, causing dark-skinned visitors to be treated as a God. They later try using explosives as a god test (but to avoid ending the series, the two protagonists convince them that "GROG" will make them love gods.)
Laugh Track (abused)
Sassy Black Woman - Loquacia, the ship's computer (played by Vivica A. Fox before she made the jump to movies)
