The Old Negro Space Program is a short mockumentary in the style of a Ken Burns film. Imagining a black space program, whose "blackstronauts" were excluded from "White NASA", the film lampoons Burns's history of the Negro Leagues, a subject of his 1994 series, Baseball.

The ten-minute film was produced and directed by Andy Bobrow, who wrote for the television series Hype, Malcolm in the Middle and later, Community. Bobrow later went on to write the Community episode Pillows and Blankets, another parody of Ken Burns.

It was created for broad release on the Internet.

The piece has received mixed reactions from bloggers and minority rights activist groups. It was nominated for a 2005 Nebula Award but was reluctantly ruled ineligible. The SFWA stated that the disqualification in no way reflected on the work's quality.

Like in many other Monicelli movies, the main theme of Amici miei is friendship, seen from a rather bitter point of view. It tells the story of four middle-aged friends in Florence who organize together idle pranks (called zingarate, "gypsy shenanigans") in a continuous attempt to prolong childhood during their adult life.
