Hail THE CABONAUTS!
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Hilarious English comedian Hayden Black (who just happens to look a heck of a lot like the star of Monsters and Rockets Youtube favorite Abigail's Teen Diary) is currently shooting the first episode of Cabonauts, a sci-fi comedy musical web series.
It’s 2183 AD and humans have finally conquered the stars. But the inky blackness that separates the galaxies and the hundreds of thousands of human outposts and colonies is vast and needs a firm hand to navigate. Which is why Cabonauts Inc. is so handy—you can just call a cab.
Harry’s learning to get his hack license and Cyril is his instructor. They’ve been friends forever, but the crappy economy has forced them to work together. We follow them as they take their passengers (played by iconic sci-fi actors & actresses) around the galaxies.
In a post on the project's blog, Black explains that some of the guests slated to appear on the show will be familiar from such TV series as Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Buffy, Doctor Who (the new series), Alien Nation and Stargate. Even if the premise didn't already sound like a big pile of fun, that cast makes it even more of a can't-miss proposition. (Just think of some of the actors from those shows who have musical backgrounds. Robert Picardo from Voyager, Anthony Stewart Head from Buffy, Billie Piper from Doctor Who...)Got a tip for Monsters and Rockets? Want to contribute to the site? Send us an email.

Hayden here - and thanks for covering The Cabonauts, Greg! You'll be pleased to know that one of the 3 names you've mentioned will indeed be co-starring in our second episode :) More soon...!
Great! I actually made a separate post, following up on your comments. Really looking forward to this series, obviously.
thanks greg. if you stop by the main cabonauts page, you'll note that we've updated the logo (to include "the" - it makes all the difference) so if you want to use that to update this page, please do :)
i saw your other comment and i will remain schtum. we'll be revealing who that is and a lot more as time goes by. but just because someone's in the UK won't be stopping them from doing the show...
