Tripping the Rift - The Complete First Season

Love this series. Super funny & wacky.

This is an older show, but it has a lot of screwed up scenarios.Think of it as a sci fi version of a more evil family guy.Definitely not for kids

Yes it sucks having to pay for shows and such but I was happy to know that prime had this show. Oddly enough I used to watch it on sy-fy when I was a kid, waking up in the middle of the night haha. Of course Watchung it now... it was so not for kids but we don't know any better when we're younger hahaThank you prime for bringing back part of Nostalgia for me.

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!

Funny show

Once upon a time after the SciFi channel realized that more adult shows could be shown after 10pm, us, the audience was offered an animated series 1/2 hour long specifically written with children NOT being allowed to watch it in mind. Unfortunately this seemed to mean lots of projectile puking, Bloody gunfights and bombs and sexy over developed young aliens/robots. This show has no point, no meaning, no character development. Weak plots with throwaway dialog and so predictable you know the ending after opening set-up scene. Also by the way ladies SciFi believes TV-MA means 'televison-MEN's audience'.You want simple, brainless fun?? A show you can set your mind to neutral and just enjoy? No complications, no overwriting, just simple entertainment. A show your girlfriend is never going to like?? This is fun-funny quick and dirty stuff specifically written for the guys. Dudes, grab a brewsky, sit back, let your girl watch her 'lifetime' shows while you pop this in the DVD and escape reality in a way I bet you may have never done before. At least not often. The packaging on the "complete first season" is wonderful. Laid out in a collectors format with different art and a nice tri-fold 3 disc setup. Its a wonderful display. Very happy with it.

I wanted to see what this show was about, like was it some adult Star Trek parody. It kinda is, but at least in this episode it gives off more year 2000 perception of aliens like in men in black or strangely Monsters Inc. the humor is so aqua team hunger force (or whatever the name of the show is) but more explicit. Lots of partial nudity and tons of vulgar sexual language. Was it worth the money? Mostly, lol, but only mostly by a little bit.

This series is absolutely BRILLIANT! Funny as hell, "sexually spicey" and executed in a 3D format that's great. My only complaint is that there's only one season available on DVD, this due to the second season just getting started. This is a series I hope runs as long as Futurama, Simpsons or Ren & Stimpy. If you don't like this wonderful show, then I would expect you to be either a drain-bamaged cretin or a humorless religious zealot with yer head up yer ass!

Great enjoyed it

The first time I saw this show it was on the internet, along time ago. I had been waiting for its TV debut and then it came on. The humour of the show is great I love it. The animation is very well done and the stories are well written. The way the show spoofs a multitude of other shows and uses them to convey the story is great.As for the fact that the cover has been blacked out and the audio is censored, I do not beleive this takes away anything, but adds to the humour of the show itself. It would not surpirse me to find that the censorship was done by the creators of the show for just that purpose.

I bought this season (and the others) all together on a whim. I'd seen the original web short and liked it but I thought that these were - in comparison - excruciatingly unfunny and - at times - downright unpleasant: the scene where a news reporter is being raped in the first episode was fairly ghastly. I'm no prude: I love Family Guy in all its grossness, but it's often clever and thought provoking. This is none of the above.Avoid like the plague

Exactly as described and very fast shipping so happy

Perfect condition!
