Cool, thank you. I see it was originally produced by PAX. Too bad PAX essentially sold itself to NBC. They were more patriotic and religious than the other networks, or at least seemed like they could have been. I hope they will rerun it on the Sci Fi channel.
The TV series was quite entertaining, but it ultimately got canceled with only a few episodes to go. The story, as shown on TV, was therefore unfinished and everyone was left wondering how it was going to turn out. Later, the summaries of the (I think it was) three episodes were posted around the web so the fans would at least know what the writers intended, even if the shows themselves never aired.
It was a weekly show and the CGI artists were forced by scheduling difficulties to make the episodes pretty close to their air dates (and even so some of the shows were aired out of order). The commentaries on the DVD have lots of interesting information from the artists and directors. They would read the comments about the shows in the on-line forums and take that into account as they were making the later episodes.
Today the animation looks pretty simple, but back in 1999 it was considered pretty good for a weekly TV show. Clancy Brown reprised his role as Sergeant Zim from the movie.
The DVDs have the shows edited together to make a single long show out of what was (if I remember correctly) five shows. So you'll see "The Pluto Campaign", "The Hydora Campaign", "The Tophet Campaign", "The Zephyr Campaign", "The Klendathu Campaign", "The Homefront Campaign", each of which is an about 95 minute movie.
Because of the cancellation, "The Homefront Campaign" ends abruptly. There's been a petition going around the web trying to get the studio to finish it, but it's been so long I wouldn't think it'll get done. *Sigh*
Every once in a while I break out the DVDs and have a "Roughnecks" marathon session ...
