I don't remember the exact years, but it was most likely late 90s, early 2000s. It was for "older audiences" thus only on after midnight. I don't even remember the network it was on, but I do remember it was similar animation to John Callaghan's Quads. I don't remember the premise of the show, expect one episode: there were a small group of people on the moon and, in the one episode I remember, the scientist character (old man) was trying to communicate with his beloved pet fish and makes a mind-reading machine. The protagonist is like the modern Fry from Futurama and in this episode he hears about the dark side of the moon is creeping towards a spot he was suppose to meet the girl love interest who is waiting for him(?). There's a few other side characters, but mainly those three were the focal points. ... The more I describe it the more its starting to sound like Futurama, but it wasn't. I can clearly and distinctly see that stupid pet fish with the mind-reading machine and the image on the computer screen is a farm animal (cow? sheep? duck?).
Thanks in advance for reading that. I've been trying to hunt down this show for YEARS because I actually think I imagined the whole thing....
- UPDATE: after MUCH searching: the TV show is "Captain Star" on Teletoon, 1997-1998! OMG! I'm not insane! I'm not crazy! This has haunted me for YEARS!!!!!!!*
