The television show covers movies, television, books, comics and community events. The show has "HypaSpace" daily shows and "HypaSpace" weekly shows which sums up the week of news. The series was casual and irreverent. HypaSpace was produced by
Simon Evans andMichelle Dudas .There were 260 episodes per year, excluding the first year, which started in May, and the sixth year, as the daily shows were pulled around mid-December with only the weekend edition airing. The daily segments were no longer being produced so this meant in its last year the show had only 26 episodes. There were approximately 1480 episodes of the show.
