SCI FI PREMIERE: CLEOPATRA 2525

Five centuries from now, three tough and beautiful warrior-women fight for humanity in a world that has been turned upside down. Monstrous, heavily armored airborne creatures known as Baileys rule Earth's surface. Humankind has been driven underground in order to survive — and to fight back. Leading the charge are Hel (Gina Torres, Nebula on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Zoë on Firefly and the demonic goddess Jasmine on Angel) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt, Jackie on John Woo's Once a Thief, Shalimar on Mutant X), who rescue former aspiring actress and part-time exotic dancer Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky, Amarice on Xena: Warrior Princess) from cryogenic stasis. As Hel and Sarge educate Cleopatra in the art of war, she teaches them that looking good won't necessarily hurt their cause!

Airs Fridays at 8PM ET/PT*

I never saw the show orginally and only vaguely remember hearing about it when it aired before, but I'm more inclined to check it out now that I am a Gina Torres fan.

It's a very entertaining show. I've seen it a few times. Basically, it's about three girls who fight robots in the future with laser guns, and every episode one of them has to strip around a pole to distract the non-android bad guys.
