Untitled Web Series About a Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time (UWSAASTWCATTT), also known as Inspector Spacetime, is an adventure-sci-fi web series created by Travis Richey, and based on the television comedy series Community.[1] The series is based on a fictional series first mentioned during the episode "Biology 101" of Community.[2] Inspector Spacetime is, by itself, a Doctor Who parody. UWSAASTWCATTT follows The Inspector, a character that can travel through time and space by way of a red BOOTH (Bio Organic Omnidirectional Time Helix), a special space/timeship similar in some ways to the TARDIS.[3] Reception for the series has been positive, with USA Today including it in their "Best of TV on the Web in 2012" list.[4] A feature film based on the series, titled The Inspector Chronicles, is currently in production.[needs update]
Production
The series was initially pitched to NBC (Community's television network at the time), who appeared uninterested. Richey then began a Kickstarter campaign to fund the series, which was successful.[5] After an animated teaser episode for the series was produced, NBC requested the production be cancelled.[6] Richey continued with the series, but with references to the name 'Inspector Spacetime' removed and the appearance of the character altered.[7][8] The series' name was then changed to Untitled Web Series About a Space Traveler Who Can Also Travel Through Time.[9]
The second season began shooting in April 2013, with the announcement that Mayim Bialik would be joining the series as the voice of the time machine.[10] In July 2013, it was also announced that Star Trek: Voyager alum Robert Picardo would also be joining the cast for season two.[11] It was later announced that the second season would become a feature film titled The Inspector Chronicles. Sylvester McCoy joined the cast as Uncle Roderick. A crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo funded development.[12]
