Christopher Lloyd, Kelly Ripa, Nicollette Sheridan, and Tim Curry lend their voices to director Ben Stassen's (Haunted Castle and Encounter in the Third Dimension) animatedchildren's fantasy about three preteen flies who hitch a ride into space on the Apollo 11 moon mission. The year is 1969, and Americans all across the country are buzzing about the first manned mission to the moon. Even the insects aren't immune to the excitement, as evidenced by the enthusiasm of adolescent flies Nat (voice of Trevor Gagnon), IQ (voice of Philip Daniel Bolden), and Scooter (voice of David Gore). Over the years, Nat's grandpa (voice of Lloyd) has often recalled the time he hitched a ride on Amelia Earhart's airplane during the famed aviator's cross-Atlantic flight, and now Nat's dreams of recreating that feat on a much larger scale are finally set to come true. But while the three young flies only believe that they'll be gone for a few minutes, the fact is that they'll be drifting through space for almost an entire week. Just as they're about to sneak aboard the ship, the flies are spotted by a keen-eyed NASA ground control official and stored in a test tube for future study. Later in the flight, when the ship's engine malfunctions, the only ones capable of fixing the problem are the three tiny stowaways. But their mission isn't accomplished just yet, because grandpa's old flame Nadia (voice of Sheridan) has just arrived from Russia to warn him that a tiny fly-spy named Yegor (voice of Curry) has been assigned the task of traveling to Cape Canaveral and sabotaging the computer flight plans. Should Nat, IQ, and Scooter fail to act in time, Yegor's mission could spell disaster not only for the three thrill-seeking flies, but the entire U.S. space program. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Underachiever Cory (Ben Savage) and nerdy Minkus (Lee Norris) manage to make the school's basketball team--not the "A" squad, of course, but the "B" group. Alas, having been relegated to second-class-citizen status, the boys may never get into an actual game. . .and worse, Cory begins to feel like a "B-Team" member of his own family. It is Mr. Feeny (William Daniels), of all people, who gives Cory the pep talk that changes his attitude, yielding results that are surprising indeed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Mac (Charlie Robinson) wants to purchase a suburban home for wife Quon Le (Denice Kumagai), but he's a little short of cash (well, more than a little, truth to tell!) With this in mind, Mac is receptive to an offer to appear in an underwear commercial. Elsewhere, Dan (John Larroquette) is entrusted with the safekeeping of Roz's most precious valuables--and Roz (Marsha Warfield) isn't the sort of person to accept a loss gracefully. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of a two-part story (originally telecast as a single hour-long "special"), the Night Court staffers are still quarantined in the courtroom as the result of an accidental toxic spill. They are also still reminiscing on the events in the past that changed their lives. For example, eternally horny prosecutor Dan (John Larroquette) recalls losing his virginity to the sexy young wife of a client, while court clerk Mac (Charlie Robinson) harks back to his Vietnam experiences. As for court bailiff Bull (Richard Moll), his recollections have a curiously familiar ring--mainly because they're all lifted from movies that he's seen! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Stone (Harry Anderson) pursuing an abortive career as a stage magician, acerbic court matron Roz (Marsha Warfield) working as a stewardess, public defender Christine (Markie Post) competing for the "Miss Buffalo" crown, and libidinous prosecutor Dan (John Larroquette) as a 25-year-old virgin! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
