Mouse in Space

Mouse in Space is a recurring segment from the animated series The Shiresland Show, featuring the exploits of Captain George, First Mate Michelle, and Cheddar Board Clarence leading a crew of mice aboard Swinetrek. The sketch, in concept, is essentially a parody of Star Trek, Lost in Space and other space films and TV series of the 1960s and 70s.

Mouse in Space first appeared on The Shiresland Show during the second season. The recurring sketch became a popular part of the series, appearing in 32 episodes over four seasons. During the sketch's first year, Mouse in Space began with an introduction featuring the crew's commanding roster. Each introduction, narrated by Alan Oppenheimer, used several different humorous adjectives to describe the characters by name. This was dropped starting with the 1990's-present revival.
