"Homeboys in Outer Space" is a science fiction sitcom that aired on UPN from 1996 to 1997. The short lived series starred comedian Flex and Darryl Bell.

ynopsis

The plot centered around an odd couple-type pairing of two space cargo haulers, Tyberius "Ty" Walker (Flex) and Morris Clay (Bell), who flew around the universe in a winged car in the 23rd century. The duo's car, which was a cross between a lowrider and an 18 wheeler, was piloted by a talking female computer named Loquatia. The show was intended as a parody of science fiction shows such as "Star Trek".

The series was panned by critics [cite news|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1295/is_n2_v61/ai_19056331?tag=content;col1|title=Homeboys in Outer Space|last=McKissack|first=Fredrick L. , Jr.|date=February 1997|publisher="The Progressive"|accessdate=2008-08-24] [cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,294099,00.html|title=Beyond the Big 4|last=Tucker|first=Ken |date=1996-09-13|publisher="Entertainment Weekly"|accessdate=2008-08-24] and cited as promoting racial stereotypes.
