"Space: Above and Beyond"

1995-1996
This show, which has been likened to STARSHIP TROOPERS (the Heinlein novel, not the movie) survived only one season on FOX. I was able to survive four episodes before its lack of intelligence beat me down. But it's not awful, and may have improved a bit by the end. The pilot is kinda fun, featuring guest star R. Lee Ermey as...c'mon guess...you'll never get it...a massage therapist!! Just kidding, he's a drill sergeant. And the episode "R&R" is fun, mostly because of guest stars Coolio and an uncredited David Duchovny as a smooth-talking android pool shark.
