Behind the scenes
The show aired at 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays (a reference to the original series of Star Trek, which aired in the same time-slot during its first two seasons).
On the Hubris Comics receptionist terminal, under the 'release schedule' section, it says that the comic 'Captain Cosmos: Truth, justice and the Space-American way' is due for release in June. This is a reference to Superman's famous catchphrase; "Truth, justice, and the American way."
The inclusion of the monkey, while a reference to the wacky plot lines of 50's TV, is most likely a homage to the first mammals in space (Albert and Albert II), also monkeys.
