I remember this show from the early 2000s set in space. It's main characters were a plucky comic relief human guy, a deadpan snarker alien girl and their do-everything robot dog. They fought evil, I think. One episode in particular I remember had the guy and dog locked in a tank of sorts and had earwigs dumped on them. The guy had to get over his fear of them or something akin to that. Thanks!
