Getting “Starhyke” On the Air - SciFi TV. Just off the top of your head, how many scifi comedies can you think of? Well, there was “Red Dwarf.” And there’s a British series currently running called “Hyperdrive.” Maybe “3rd Rock from the Sun?” Anyone remember an ill-conceived American series called “Homeboys in Outer Space,” which aired on UPN in 1996? Rumor has it the only people who watched it, based on the title, were hoping for a “Red Dwarf” imitator.
Into the unfortunately meager scifi comedy fray now comes “Starhyke,” a television series that, at the moment, is more hype than substance. You heard that right—“Starhyke” isn’t currently slated to air on any channel, anywhere. As a result, part of the campaign to get “Starhyke” on the air sometime in 2007 is to bring the trailer around to conventions and fan gatherings. Of course, there are downsides to all the attention. Isn’t all this campaigning lot of work? And speaking of casting, “Starhyke” boasts a pedigree that matches any other scifi show out there.
