The Most Extraordinary Space Investigations

2005 · 1 season

A scrappy, deliberately amateurish late-night oddity that plays like a stoned in-joke you either click with or don't.

Created by
Sevan Najarian, Dan Harmon
Starring
Abed Gheith, Jimmy Kimmel, J.D. Ryznar
Overview
A marijuana induced experiment that generated more data than ever expected, MESI was a show that taught us all a lot of lessons, none of which may ever be agreed upon. Rejected by the prime time panel, it was the only show to ever enter the screening via the short-lived "wildcard" system, then went on to garner more votes by acquiring the beloved Sarah Silverman and heroically committing to its anti-production value. After entertaining many, irritating many and confusing many more, MESI was put to an appropriate death in the bloody Halloween screening of 2005.
