Lloyd in Space was an animated television series, running from February 2001 to February 2004. A total of 40 episodes in four seasons.
Living far in the future, shortly after the end of World War Nine, Lloyd Nebulon is a green-skinned alien (of the Verdigrean race) with strange ears and a single antenna sticking from his head. Lloyd lives in the Intrepidville Space Station along with his telekinetic and telepathic sister, Francine, and his mother, Commander Norah Li Nebulon, the Head of Intrepidville. Lloyd's friends are Eddie R. Horton (a ginger-haired American teenage human), Kurt Blobberts (an enormous purple blob with a single eyeball and simple intelligence, of a species known as the Blobullons), and Douglas McNoggin (a giant brain with arms, feet, eyes and a mouth, of a species known as the Cerebellians).
From the creators of Recess.

- Ambiguous Gender: Done in one episode with a new guy who is part of a species that doesn't pick a gender until they turn a certain age. After much persuading to turn him (or rather, it) to one gender (and then flipping it), it decides that it's not telling them which gender it picks, and that they'll just have to wait until it likes one of them. What causes problems with this is that his voice is unmistakably a male voice.

- Hey, It's That Voice! - many of the main voices from Recess can be heard throughout the show.
- Not to mention the big purple guy sounds like a certain starfish who is best friends with a certain sponge.
- Lou 2000, Station's rude, lazy and bad-mouthed backup system, voiced by John DiMaggio, who also voiced another rude, lazy and bad-mouthed robot in Futurama.
- Larry sounds like the leader of the Pale Kids, Mandark, and Ned.
- Dunkirque is Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson, The Genie, and Earthworm Jim).
- Douglas is Milhouse. His dad is Chaz Finster, while his mom is Miss Grotke.
- Hidden Depths: While Larry is a lousy bridge communications ensign, in "A Place for Larry" it's revealed that he takes care of the more mundane tasks, like refilling the cooler, sending people birthday cards, and changing the easy listening background music. Things that Nora and Dunkirque haven't done before, nor know how to do. Miraculously, this keeps Intrepidville from descending into chaos, which almost did (and nearly led to a core meltdown) after Larry got fired for his incompetence. But instead of giving Larry his old position back, Nora appoints him as "lieutenant of morale" (which is basically just him doing the mundane tasks), which Larry accepts.
- Ho Yay - Lloyd and Eddie.
- Humans Are Bastards - A fat rich lady alien dislikes Eddie for teasing her pet.

- Jerkass:
- The popular crowd.

- Miniature Senior Citizens - somewhat played straight, no Blobullon senior citizens have been shown, but it is shown that Blobullons are born large when young but get smaller as they grow up, hence why kindergarten Kurt is like a giant, while present kurt looks like he's big boned, and kurts parents are shorter than most of the teenagers and adults in the series.
