Classic TV Themes: Life With Roger / Homeboys in Outer Space (Stereo)

[@VaultMasterDBT]

I'm sure you very well meant the wonderful year of 1996. :) Life With Roger was from Robert Griffard and Howard Adler, who created "Going Places", which also starred Hallie Todd. The creators would have Hallie appear on yet another one of their shows after Roger's cancelation, when she guest starred on "Two of a Kind". Jeez, Homeboys in Outer Space. Yeah, I am embarrassed to admit, I watched about three episodes of that. I knew it wasn't going to last more than a year, even on UPN.

Oops! Sorry about that. ;)

Flex was known prior to Homeboys for appearing as a dancer in Crystal Waters's Gypsy Woman video. A song still more known than Homeboys in Other Space. He was also Michael Jackson in a TV biopic.

@@andrewbarton2590 Flex was also on "Where I Live" prior to Homeboys. Although the former was short-lived, it seems to be held in a higher regard than Homeboys, and it actually got a second season before it was abruptly canceled.

Fun Fact: Kevin Guillaume, the composer of the theme song of Homeboys in Outer Space, is the son of the late actor Robert Guillaume, of course, famously of Benson and Soap.

I'd love to find out what it was like pitching Homeboys in Outer Space. Something about the concept seems outright goofy to me.

Why did actress hallie todd play Jason's sister lanie clark on life with roger before she appeared in lizzie McGuire?

[@VaultMasterDBT]

As I mentioned above, Hallie was already a go-to actress for show creators Robert Griffard and Howard Adler. She had starred in their series "Going Places" back in 1990 (which was produced by them along with Miller-Boyett), and, after Roger was canceled, she guest starred on Two of a Kind, another Griffard/Adler production.

[@DavidOspina-q1c]

That's correct.

What episode of life with roger does hallie todd's character lanie fuller say where the hell have you been?

Homeboys in Outer Space did one thing very well: It reminded me how fantastic Red Dwarf truly was. They called their ship a "space hoopty," for spirit's sake!
