A German TV show based on the most off the wall character Stanislaw Lem ever wrote about? Yes, there is, and it is called Ijon Tichy, Raumpilot, or Ijon Tichy, Spacepilot in English. The animation on the home page says it all, but here is a trailer to go with that image. You can also watch the 15 minute long episodes online, either on the home page or over on YouTube.
