Review

The Sci-Fi Channel's answer to "South Park," this CG animated series is another one that's definitely not kiddie fare, but the cover alone with tell you that. This 3-disc set of the first season is loaded with enough in-your-face smut, penis jokes and violence to amuse the average 13 year old, but for the most part, the show is seldom all that funny, featuring heavy-handed satire & gags you'll see coming from a mile away. Since "South Park" is pretty much the standard by which all potentially "outrageous" adult animated programs are judged, "Rift's" obvious attempts at public offense are tired and unoriginal. Despite treading such familiar waters, "Tripping the Rift" features some intersting CG amination, and one can't help but leer at 'Six,' the anatomically-impossible sex android. She looks like something out of "Heavy Metal" magazine as animated by Pixar. Unfortunately, her almost-too-lovingly-animated form makes her the only interesting character for all the wrong reasons; the others (including a gay robot, an obnoxious evil clown, and slob Captain Chode) are patchworks of cliches & characters we've seen before. From Anchor Bay
