Far Out Space Nuts	comment	One of the zanier Saturday morning series from Sid and Marty Krofft Productions, Far Out Space Nuts aired on CBS in 1975. Bob Denver and Chuck McCann played Junior and Barney, two NASA janitors who were loading food onto a rocket when a wrong button press launched them into space.While trying to return to Earth, our accidental astronauts visited various strange planets. On one of those planets, they met a furry creature whom they named Honk (Patty Maloney).The series wasn't remarkable, but it was entertaining.

Far Out Space Nuts / int_2639dbf3	comment	Power Echoes: Alien guest stars always seemed to sound as though there was a microphone right in front of them even if they were talking at normal inside voice levels. The Large Ham acting made it look more ridiculous than anything else.

Far Out Space Nuts / int_31083edb	comment	Logic Bomb: In the pilot episode, "It's All In Your Mind", G.A.L., a sentient supercomputer has enslaved all the inhabitants of the planet by transferring their minds into her memory banks, but she still wants more minds and decides to take Junior's. Junior frees the slaves when he inadvertently causes G.A.L.'s circuits to overload by trying to explain how the NASA rocket's engine is put together.

Far Out Space Nuts / int_8a5dc833	type	It Runs on Nonsensoleum
Far Out Space Nuts / int_8a5dc833	comment	It Runs on Nonsensoleum: The launch sequence was stock footage of a Saturn V launch, and the spacecraft resembled an Apollo lunar module. The real Apollo lunar module carried enough fuel to go between lunar orbit and the lunar surface, once. Yet, this spacecraft manages to visit a new planet each week, most of which aren't even planets in our own solar system. (This probably isn't a case of Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale, because the writers weren't Sci-Fi writers.)

Although, as noted in Actor Allusion on the Trivia tab, Junior was practically Gilligan as a NASA Commissary worker. Basically it's Skipper and Gilligan IN SPACE!
