Other Space (Yahoo Screen) - Season 1 Thread - Premieres 4/14/15
When their ship is drawn into a different universe, Captain Stewart Lipinski and crew must learn to work together while dealing with space clouds, robot rebellions, and the occasional alien attack.
I'm not sure how this one flew under my radar, but two of the MST3K guys and Milana Vayntrub? Count me in.

The AT&T girl, huh? Well... maybe I will.

In addition to the AT&T girl, it has Trace Beaulieu and Joel Hodgson (both of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Cinematic Titanic) so I call that a win-win-win situation.

There are eight listed in the Roku channel, with the eighth titled "Finale". I watched the first three last night, and I'm still not sure what to think. It's stupid for better and for worse (and the no-budget effects don't bother me one bit), but the humor falls flat more often than not. There is too much Stewart, Karen, and Michael, and not enough Tina (Vayntrub) and Natasha (Conor Leslie, who is also really cute). Zalian and A.R.T. (Joel and Trace from MST3K) are oddly given very little to do thus far.
I knew I had seen Stewart before, and it finally occurred to me that they have two AT&T people on this show. He's the "Did it hurt...when you fell from heaven?" nerd.

Well, things started to click for me in the fourth episode, or the humor improved. That carries through to the next several episodes, although the eighth episode (the finale, for now?) really didn't work for me since it was too heavy on the drama, and ends on a stupid (in a bad way) new development.

I just binged through the series. I found it oddly addictive. I liked Joel and Trace's new roles and Natasha was very easy on the eyes. I'd be down for a second season. One thing though, how does Yahoo make any profit off of this or Community? I never saw any ads.

I liked it. Watched it over the weekend. Hell it was worth it just to see so much Milana.
I'm also wondering how Yahoo is making money. I watched the entire series on their app without paying money or watching an ad.

Just watched the whole run this past Friday night. Wow, I loved this show! Everything just really clicked for me - the characters, the humor, the quirkiness. I really hope we get another season of it.

I saw at C2E2 in chicago a few weeks ago and thought I would sit in on this panel. I hadn't heard of the show, but Feig was attending, so I went to it. They showed the first episode, which I thought was pretty funny. Then Feig, Soni, Vayntrub, Hodgson, and Beaulieu took the stage. It was a pretty fun group, and made me like the show even more. I just finished watching it last night, and I hope it comes back. Well worth 4 hours of your life, I think.

I thought it was pretty good. There weren't a ton of laugh out loud moments, but it was still entertaining and the cast was fun to watch.
I'd watch a season two.
and AT&T girl looks really good. She's cute in the commercials, but kicks it up a notch in the show.

Finished it up. I honestly think it was one of the best written comedies I've seen in a long time. It's really, really clever, with some great gags. The only issue is that while I'm okay with the lead character, the captain, but the actor who plays him got on my nerves. His voice and delivery was off-putting to me and I found him really annoying. But except for that hiccup, this was a very funny show, like really funny, with one of the best batting averages of jokes hitting in comedy. Nothing hugely "laugh out loud", more like really clever laughs, which I like better anyways.

I really enjoyed this first season. I hope we get a second. As... strange as the show can be at times, i thought it was very clever and entertaining.

This is available on the streaming service Dust now:
https://watchdust.com/otherspace
Although it looks like it's just Vimeo embeds.
AV Club has an interview with Paul Feig going over the show's history, as well as Feig still hoping for another season:

Feig is still trying to get the word out—especially now that you can stream Other Space on Dust. With audiences exploring new streaming options and making their way through ever-expanding “catch-up lists,” there’s no better time to binge a sci-fi comedy that remains an incisive reflection of the present day, five years after its premiere (and 16 years after Feig first started writing it.) And the series creator still holds out hope that he’ll be able to create new adventures for the not-quite-fearless crew of the Cruiser; he’d bring the show back “in a heartbeat” if it ever got picked up again.

I don't recall specifics of the show, but I did watch it when it was on Yahoo Screen and remember enjoying it.
Definitely up for a re-watch. Especially when it can be on my TV and not my computer (I know I installed "Dust" on my Roku for a reason.)

First response: oh cool it's available again? I'm always up for more Vayntrub.
Second response: What the hell is Dust?

Wonder if 5 years from now this will be on an even more obscure streaming service
