Hi, everybody! I have a little question for you all. One time, a long while back, I watched a very crummy sci-fi show that was about a hospital set on a space station, in the future. There was a crusty old alien doctor who looked like a cross between a fish and a slug, and there was a pretty human doctor who had a dark secret. I can't remember what the name of the show was, but I do think that it lasted a bit longer than one episode. I'm curious to know if anyone remembers the show?

That's it! Thanks, Succatash! That brings back at least a few memories--was it really as bad as I remember, or am I being too harsh on it?

According to the IMDB, it got cancelled after 3 episodes and aired on UPN in 1998.

I got one for ya... yet another sci-fi show. This one was like Firefly in that space was dirty. There was a ship that had a crew including a Sorbo type captain, a crusty fix it guy (who played the fire truck driver in Backdraft), a few others. The pilot had to lay down head first into a window ala WWII bomber. I remember the show being about a police force or some such that had a base.

Little to go on, but its one of those long lost things that bug ya cuz you cant remember the show.

I loved Space Rangers. I got all the episodes on tape. You just got to love Docs choice in music.

I got one it was a SciFi movie or maybe a pilot it aired late night on fox many years back. It was set on a small space warship call the Surprise and their fighting human colonists from Centauri. It had some kind of robot and snake lights on the space suits.
