Review: Showtime's "Moonbase 8" "Adam Lambert Brings A Burst Of Star Power..." "Funniest Space Sitcom Since Alf"

MOONBASE 8 IS THE FUNNIEST SPACE SITCOM SINCE ALF

" @AdamLambert — brings a burst of star power to save it from any stretch of boredom. Fans will relish his turn as a cocky Tesla employee who isn't impressed by anything at the NASA facility."


Excerpts from the review:

Read the FULL Inverse.com review at this LINK 
 
"LET’S FACE IT: Most astronaut comedies aren’t actually successful. Look at Netflix’s Space Force, which bombed, even with Steve Carell. And the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks, though really funny, mostly flew under the radar. There’s a reason most stories about astronauts are plodding dramas, like Hilary Swank’s Away or Brad Pitt’s Ad Astra. With the exception of the cult UK show Red Dwarf, which debuted more than 30 years ago, most comedies set in space have been sucked into a black hole.
But could that finally change? MOONBASE 8 might break from the cliché that portrays space shows as dull, drab, and tiresome, proving to never be funny (except for the aforementioned Red Dwarf and ALF, the 1980s classic of an alien living with a suburban American family). Moonbase 8 is 2020's answer to those shows. Debuting on Showtime on November 8, the series follows the lives of three astronauts — played by a trio of reliable white male comedians (Fred Armisen, John C. Reilly, and Tim Heidecker; be sure to read our interview with him). Moonbase 8 takes place on a NASA base in the Southwest desert, where these would-be astronauts attempt to pass a series of tests to qualify for their first lunar mission. What could possibly go wrong?"

....."brings a burst of star power"....that's him!

"A burst of star power!" Music to my ears! Glad to see Adam get special mention. It's about time more of his acting chops get tapped. Hope this fun show leads to more!

Dee R Gee said...

Just heard that our President has been chosen!!!!!
A day for celebration, at least at our house!

Angeladam said...

So pleased for you all over there in the USA congratulations on your new President !!

Dee R Gee said...

Wouldn't it be something if Adam got to perform at Biden's inaugural? Either at the ceremony or at the inaugural ball? He would be a wonderful representative for the LGBTQ community which would also reflect on Biden's belief in diversity. I know it's a long shot, but still..

Just saw the big crowd standing around the White House singing We Are The Champions! HAHA! And Briand and Roger aren't complaining at all.

Sue Smith said...

Thank you Angeladam and thanks To Boris Johnson for being the first to congratulate JB. All I will say is Thank you God and the Americans that came out to vote for Joe B in groves.I have fought for him like a wild cat. My husband not happy but he did not vote at all he not that well tho.
I am happy very happy. I am still afraid what DT will do while he is here for ins. Ect. Yes, I have medicare but I have a supplement as well. If I do not have that it will leave even more than I pay now.
However I am thrilled for Joe B win he is a good man and has a tough road to travel in the messed up White House. I pray for him and his wife. His son who passed away will be celebrating up there.
My daughters is up here at our water park area doing her flea market thing. She makes fabulous doggie items.
Happy Day for America finally!

Nanbert said...

Thanks Angeladam. It WOULD be a relief to be able to see the last of Trump from now on...or at least after the inauguration of Biden.

Unfortunately, Trump is so vindictive that he will probably "jam up" everything he possibly can between now and the transfer of power to Biden at the inauguration in January.

It's not over 'til its over! But at least it's headed in the right direction now!

Sue Smith said...

I agree Nanbert, that is what I am afraid of. Adam I am happy for you! I am afraid of what Trump will do. Bidens sister said he would not have ran this time if not for wanting to get trump out of the WH. Please let there be peace in these hard times. I fear that will never happen as long as he has one foot in the WH Trump. Please the end of January 2021 come quickly! So more lives will be saved and we can try and get back to life. I know it will not happen in a minute.
Biden will listen to the scientists. Got to get the virus under control to get the economy better. It's not good like Trump said at all. But, at least one day to be happy.

Sunflower said...

I'm still thinking if I should do the free trial. Yes happy day today! DEE R GEE, Biden follows Adam on Instagram so a possibility of Adam somehow involved? And a Glambert on twitter dreamed on Halloween night that Adam performed the National Anthem for the Inauguration! She called it a good sign! Woohoo fingers crossed. :)

Dee R Gee said...

Celebrate, everyone! 2021 is just around the corner. We are in a for a renaissance!

Patria said...

@Angeladam - do you live in London? Did you see or hear the fireworks London set off after the announcement about Joe?
Paris rang their church bells. Thank you London and Paris.

Patria said...

@Angeladam Personal question if I may - Is your real name pronounced the same way as Angela Merkel?

Sue Smith said...

I did get a free trial for the premium channel Adam's new series is on.

Sue Smith said...

I should say this is Texas and oil people. Especially small towns so yes people around here were more Trump. But, character does matter and the way he lied was unbearable to me. My daughter was appalled at that as well.
Joe Biden did well in Texas even tho he lost there. That's all I will say.
Just happy it's all over and JB won. Because character and the right way does matter to many. I voted for JB so if he had lost I could sleep a bit better. But, thank goodness he did not. HE WON!!

Angeladam said...

Hi
Patria My name isn’t pronounced the same, the ‘g’’ sounds like a ‘j’ , I live outside London now but friends who are still there in the centre heard all lots of fireworks going off ( but it could be also from Bonfire night ?) just after the announcement and of course bells being rung everywhere to celebrate I’m sure of that, as of. course most of the UK is relieved Trump’s been defeated !!
Dee R Gee Wouldn't it be great for Adam to sing SuperPower’ for Biden !!
Sue Smith at least you won’t have to move now to Outer Mongolia lol !!


Super poeer

Dee R Gee said...

I sense such a feeling of relief in the country. I know Trump got a lot of votes, too, but all in all, the voters have spoken.

I would love so much for Adam to sing at the inauguration or at least at the ball. He would be stellar.

Patria said...

Thanks Angela, I have no idea why I wanted to know that, just did.

Joe winning is a huge relief and has untied the knot I've been feeling inside my stomach. Sue, I feel that our SS and Medicare is safe for now. More hurdles starting with will the Rs buy the Electoral College?

I really am hoping for Moonbase 8 to open up new opportunities for Adam. May it be opportunities more open to the general public. As for the inauguration, I'm afraid I'll jinx it if I hope out loud.

Never a dull moment.

Angeladam said...

So hope Moonbase 8 opens new opportunities for Adam still wonder what musical he was co writing in the UK ?

Nanbert said...

I'm happy about Moonbase 8 for Adam...especially since he wants to do different things, and explore different facets of his talents (so many!). I loved him in Glee. He displayed a maturity in his acting that surprised and delighted me. I hope he gets increasingly regular and more important roles.

Also, I know he likes to be busy and productive. But my only worry is that he might get involved in so many OTHER activities that we will see/hear less of him....he would sing less and tour less....and be seen less in videos on Youtube that fans like me can watch over and over.

In other words, I fear the loss of THAT VOICE/PERFORMER when he pursues other activities. Selfish of me, I know, but that's MY worry.

Nanbert said...

But, yes, I hope his musical is spectacularly successful....even though I know I will never be able to see him in it in person..... but only if we're lucky enough to have it on a video!

Patria said...

I just watched the episode from this twitter account. Scroll down to the 'It's time to watch" tweet if you can access the link.

Patria said...

Same account but not under 'with replies'. Might make a difference if you don't have a twitter account you might access it any way. Again scroll down to 'It's time to watch' tweet and click on video

Dee R Gee said...

Ok, I decided to sit and watch episodes 1-4. This show is just as I thought it would be. Totally silly. Lots of sight gags. A dialogue that sounds like it has a lot of ad-libbing. I really like Reilly and Armistan from previous things they have done. This show has a fun premise. It's meant to be goofy, and it is. Adam has a very small part with not many lines. But he does just fine. He's not meant to be a comedian in this role. Just a smal cameo. I enjoyed watching him! He was sweet and gorgeous, as always. Nice to have another item on his resume!

Sue Smith said...

I'm going to watch the first one tonight. Then I'll watch all until Adam. May watch one on twitter. Of course only got it for Adam. Angeladam the crazy still lives on. I live for the day I can go 24 hours without the word Trump and his crazy BS ruling our lives. We are in a pandemic people are suffering greatly physically and financially I know they are in Europe as well. It's time for a real leader that will put America above their own selfish agenda. Let's hope we can get through this and start healing after January. It will be a long road.

Sunflower said...

Patria thank you so much for the twitter info, I have'nt seen Adam yet so I'm going over to that twitter account.

Sunflower said...

I'm back from watching this program. I loved watching Adam, such a great actor, would love more acting for him. The rest of the episode was not my cup of tea.

Sue Smith said...

Yes, thanks Patricia I think I will go watch. I do have a free showtime promotion saw first episode. It may get better wasn't that great. Adam certainly can improve any show.

Rosemary White said...

FABULOUS news re Joe Biden!!!!!! I was sooooooooooo nervous for him but now soooooooooo happy for him. However, Trump is going to challenge the result, and I've read that if his challenge fails, he may run again in 2024 or one of his offspring will .... the never-ending Trump dynasty. Joe's inauguration date can't come soon enough.

Patria said...

You're welcome Sunflower and Sue. Sunflower, your 'review' covered it perfectly for me too.

Nanbert said...

Rosemary, oh my....if that's true, and Trump plans to run again in 2024, that means he will continue to still keep the country roiled up and divided for the next 4 years....with the help of most of the invertebrate Republicans! Power corrupts!

Note: I still think Russia has something (or several somethings) on Trump to keep him in line. But I am becoming convinced that Russia's meddling and spying on us has turned up blackmailable transgressions of some of the key Republicans who astonishingly support Trump's most undemocratic actions...no matter what....to keep them in line, too!.

I really worry about Trump being given sensitive Classified information now that he will happily give to Russia (or anyone!) in payment for his huge debt....or for a safe harbor from prosecution in the U.S.A. I never believed that Trump had any patriotism/loyalty...except to the highest bidder! He's especially vulnerable (and therefore dangerous) now that he's liable to court actions against him once he's no longer protected by the office of President!

Last, but not least....Trump still has his "finger on the button" of our nuclear resources between now and the January inauguration! His enormous manic ego might decide that if he's going down...so should EVERYONE ELSE!

Patria said...

My take is that Trump running in 2024 is not going to succeed. He will do so just to keep the money coming into his pocket from his voters.

It's the Republican leadership that has been protecting Trump and profiting from his actions that is the biggest problem. They could cut off lots of the terrible policies of his and support the constitution and we would get thru this fine. But not so, in fact the down ballot Republicans have been re-elected and will carry on protecting and supporting Trump even after he's gone. The refusal to remove Trump after the indictment is the biggest indicator that the Republican leadership is (am I allowed to say it???) corrupt.

We need to win the Georgia run offs in January desperately.

Patria said...

I need to ask this question. I can understand that trump being who he is is going for a scorched earth exit and take as many people with him as possible. What I don't understand is why there are millions and millions of Americans willing to aid and abet or just plain support him? They are hurting themselves just as much as they are the liberals/democrats. Do they think they will have a life or country after all the destruction?

Off my soap box. (for a while).

Nanbert said...

Patria...don't go too far from that soapbox. You're going to still need it from the way things are developing! We're not out of the woods yet! Among other things, Trump seems to be going after the electors now, too. We keep thinking he's running out of options....but it's just getting scarier and scarier.
