They hadn't crashed, they were ordered there as a way to basically get rid of them. Starship captains don't handle retirement well...

So, I tend to remember this show about a ship crashing into a planet (I think it was shown in the intro) and not being able to leave. They tried to survive inside of the ship, but then very they were 'attacked' every other chapter by really esoteric monsters, a bit like in 'Courage, the coward dog', every chapter a different kind of very weird entity or place.
I specifically remember of this chapter in which a circus appeared, filled by some kind of 'shadow people'. If my memory serves me correct, there was no play being held inside, but everyone who entered would get spellbound, would join the 'shadow people' into admiring and cheering at nothing and, eventually, would turn into one of the shadow people.
And... I think that's most that I have for it. Thank you all in advance!
