Perversions of Science is an American science fiction/horror anthology television series that ran on the cable channel HBO for one season from June 7 to July 23, 1997. It is a spin-off of the horror series Tales from the Crypt also shown on HBO, and its episodes are based on EC Comics's Weird Science comic book series.
The format of Perversions of Science is very similar to Tales From The Crypt, the show was introduced by a sexualized female robot named Chrome (voiced by Maureen Teefy) and then an individual episode would start. After the episode was complete, Chrome would conclude Perversions of Science.
Most episodes focused on a part of science fiction such as alien invasion or space/time travel.
The show featured a mix of established talent and young up-and-comers. "Panic", for instance, starred a young Jason Lee and Jamie Kennedy opposite Harvey Korman.
As of 2016, the series has not been released on DVD in the United States. However, on March 23, 2001 it was released in Japan (Region 2, NTSC) by Pioneer Entertainment where it has since gone out of print subsequently becoming sought after by collectors.
