fake!TV: What Goes UP!

\

Scientists and astronauts are people too. We promise.

Theme Song: Spinning Wheel, Blood, Sweat & Tears


Allen Bailey, as played by Bradley James


My official title is...well, I'm not sure what my "official" title is. Let's just say I'm the upper middle manager of "stuff." A problem solver. At least that's what they tell me. Just don't ask me what the heck is going on around here. Because most of the time, I have NO idea.

Dr. Evelyn Keillor, Director of NASA, as played by Cate Blanchett


Don't let the looks fool you. Or the glasses. Or the doctorate. A political appointee with all the intelligence of one of the trained chimps down in Level 4. Okay, that's not fair to the chimps. We just try to keep her away from the things that go boom.

William Bishop, as played by Jim Parsons


All Billy here as ever wanted is to be an astronaut. Instead he's flying a desk, assistant to the Director of NASA. Not that he's all that bitter about it. We think. He pretty much runs this place, so try to stay on his good side.

Dr. Christine Bailey, as played by Kaley Cuoco


Dr. Bailey - don't ever think of calling her Christine or Chrissy or whatever - she's basically the mad scientist around here. She's got her crazy fingers in everything. Real science fiction stuff, and most of it's classified, so walk away. Except me, cuz I'm her brother and I've got clearance and...Ouch! Okay, okay, I'm walking away.

Clancy Shepherd, as played by James Franco


Clancy was grounded a couple years ago for, well...I don't like to gossip. Let's just say this is one astronaut that is never seeing space again. And now he "runs" Space Camp. Those poor kids.

Bianca Russell, P.R. Director, as played by Naomi Harris


Bianca's job is too look pretty and sound smart for the TV people. And keep the endless parade of visiting politicians off our collective backs. She's pretty good at it, too.

"Lenny", as played by Carey Mulligan


And this here is our resident alien. No, seriously. Immigrated through Roswell. A little bit strange, but that's what you would expect of an alien, right? Right. Her real name is...too difficult for humans to pronounce. And she sort of loves old school Star Trek, especially Spock. So "Lenny" it is.

Ahaha this looks freaking hysterical. I would so totally watch this! Love how all of the bios are in Allen's voice. I can totally see the entire series having his random voice over. Gah I want the gigglefest now please!

Ha ha, the voiceover and narrative concept are a rip-off of Better Off Ted, because I love and miss that show. And the world really needs a TV comedy set at NASA!

Dude we totally need a comedy set at NASA if only for the "not a rocket scientist" jokes alone lol
