If you’re on the lookout for a new kids’ show that’s as entertaining for adults as it is for little ones, then “Space Lightning” is an absolute must-watch.

This intergalactic adventure is a delightful blend of humor, creativity, and nostalgia, guaranteed to have the whole family in stitches. With witty dialogue that includes nods to iconic franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek, the show cleverly caters to viewers of all ages. And let’s not forget the spaceship itself, which bears a striking resemblance to the legendary Star Trek bird of prey ship, adding an extra layer of charm for sci-fi enthusiasts.

What truly sets “Space Lightning” apart is its ingenious design, crafted from nothing more than cardboard and paint. This homemade aesthetic not only adds to the show’s whimsical appeal but also serves as a fantastic inspiration for young viewers to unleash their own creativity. Kay Sibal’s portrayal of May Starshine is nothing short of enchanting. My only complaint is that they waiting until episode 12 to feature this. I thought they could have used more music, especially since the rock band montage in the theme song leads me to expect it. Michael Bauer shines as the lovably clumsy Captain, channeling the spirit of Zapp Brannigan from Futurama with his endearingly over-the-top antics.

Originally airing on YippeeTV and now available on Amazon Prime, “Space Lightning” is a gem of a show that embodies wholesome family entertainment at its finest. So, whether you’re looking for a series to enjoy alongside your kids or simply craving a good laugh, this delightful space adventure is sure to leave you beaming from ear to ear. Don’t miss out on the fun – buckle up and embark on an unforgettable journey with “Space Lightning.”
