The Jolly crew could be traveling anywhere remote.

great chanraderue in the characters, but … Are they really in outer space? It’s hard to tell. There’s not much difference in ship culture or the small problems solved by the characters to show that the series is set in the future or that the characters have knowledge of fantadtic technology, aliens or space travel.

there also is no over arching galactic problems for our now familiar characters to deal with. odd.
