Tripping the Rift - The Complete First Season (2004)

very funny...

Southpark but then in space and a little more mature...
Very good and still not to over the edge... June 9, 2008

Dark Clowns Gather

Why has no-one I know ever heard of this gem? Probably because it appeared on a pay TV channel mostly watched by nerds (being a nerd is not a negative thing).

A wonderful adult 3D version of Futurama? Not quite, but loads of fun. Stephen Root's voice work is moving in leaps and bounds. May 12, 2008

If you don't have a sense of humor, try something else

I've read some of the other reviews of Tripping The Rift. The negative reviewers obviously don't have a sense of humor and therefore have no business reviewing Tripping The Rift. Having an open mind to all possibilities helps to appreciate this parody of the science fiction genre.
Since computer animation first started with Toy Story, I was hoping someone would come up with something like this, and even though some of the jokes make me roll my eyes, I think this is the best anyone could have come up with for this format...and I find myself laughing more than I expect (truly the gift of an open mind). I love the references to all of the science fiction TV and movies that have been embraced through the years. I was kinda scratching my head while watching "Tripping The Rift-The Movie", wondering just exactly what Desperate Housewives had to do with the science fiction genre...but other than that, I think that the creators and writers have done an excellent job in giving us a genuine and entertaining source of mindless and enjoyable escapism.
If I want to sit back and relax, and just forget about reality, this is one of the places I like to go.
My favorite character has to be Bobo the Clown with his no-holds-barred insanity. You never know what's gonna come from him, and whatever he does is just total crazed hilarity.
Wanna escape? Wanna have a few silly laughs? Gotta open mind and a TRUE sense of humor? Sit back, relax and let yourself go where no computer animated series has gone before.....and enjoy!!!!!....just make sure the kids are in bed for the night first, because this is definitely NOT for them!

omigod this is awful

Barely know what to say here. I saw one reviewer state that Six of Nine was the worst thing about this show. I think its worse than that. I think she's the best thing about TTR, and I'm not going beyond her visual appeal here, because there is none. The writing is horrible, its not the least bit funny, and although the animation is quite good,...its just terrible. I can't imagine that even 13 year olds would go for it. Maybe stupid 13 year olds. I gave it one star because I couldn't submit my review otherwise, but I don't really mean it. March 24, 2008

Off-beat humor

OK, it's crude, rude, and socially unacceptable, but I think it is one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen. No, everyone won't like it, but if you do, it's a jewel. If you don't, don't watch it. November 21, 2007
