Format

The format of Perversions of Science is similar to Tales from the Crypt; the latter is hosted by the Cryptkeeper, a wisecracking corpse performed by puppeteers, while Perversion of Science is hosted by a computer-generated female robot named Chrome (voiced by Maureen Teefy).<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Individual episodes begin with an introduction by Chrome, followed by a main narrative. After the narrative is complete, Chrome concludes the episode by making a comment about the story in question.<ref name="TV.com Show Summary" /> Unlike the Cryptkeeper, who frequently makes puns revolving around death and macabre subjects, Chrome engages more in sexual innuendo.<ref name="Kurland 2016" />

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. For instance, "Panic" starred a young Jason Lee and Jamie Kennedy opposite Harvey Korman.<ref name="Kurland 2016" />
