The "real" Saturday shows, at 10am and 7pm are the same.  They are current
4th season shows (todays was 411).  The Friday night (12:30 am Saturday) shows
are repeats.  Yesterday was the last of the 3rd season.  Next week they will
start showing the second season during that slot.  Enjoy.

  I seem to remember it from shocker too.  The guy is knocked uncontious
at football practice and wakes up in bed shouting "Football practice."
I think they've been doing it for longer than the movie's been out, though.
I'm not sure, but I feel real old now...

That was a great sketch, but it was a virtual re-run of an old KTMA sketch
with Josh Weinstein. At least to me, the remakes of the early skits, are 
not even close to the original. Tom Servo trying to pick up the blender, is a  
good case in point. The original was a riot, and the remake bringws only a 
small chuckle. Of course, this could be because I have seen the early 
episodes, and many haven't. Ah well.

I haven't seen this posted yet, so here goes.  The September schedule
according to the Comedy Central newsletter is...

Friday, 9/4  - Rocketship X-M

Saturday, 9/5  - Teenagers From Outerspace  [note: my local paper listed
                 The Giant Gila Monster for the morning showing and
                 Teenagers From Outerspace for the evening showing.  9/5
                 is the day of the Cheap Labor Day marathon, so could it be
                 that they don't want to show the same episode twice during
                 the marathon?  Something to keep in mind.]

Friday, 9/11 - Sidehackers  (mumble, mumble, chili-peppers, mumble)

Saturday, 9/12 - Hercules And The Captive Women

Friday, 9/18 - Jungle Goddess  (Phantom Creeps part 1)

Saturday, 9/19 - Manhunt In Space  [note: Morning only.  The evening showing
                 will be pre-empted by the Billy Crystal "Mr. Saturday
                 Night" marathon.]

Friday, 9/25 - Catalina Caper

Saturday, 9/26 - Tormented


On another note, I read the posting about the first (Comedy Channel) season
not being planned to be shown.  (Ack!  And my "Project Moon Base" tape
just got the beginning of it mangled.)  I was thinking it must have something
to do with the fact that it was made for the HBO owned Comedy Channel, and
now that they're only co-owners, there must be complications regarding showing
it, BUT...

...first off, the second season was also made for The Comedy Channel, and
they're showing those shows (starting Friday) with no problem.  Also, the
first season was run before on Comedy Central, so it's odd that a problem
would be coming up just now about it.  If anyone gets any more information
regarding this, please post it.  I'm really curious as to what the problem is.

Also, I was glad to hear that if they go another season or so, they'll
have enough episodes for syndication.  Knowing the stations in our area,
though, they won't pick it up.  They're too busy airing "Who's The Boss"
and "The Golden Girls" 10 times a day.

Castle Of Fu Manchu was the only entry in the 6 movie series directed by    
Jesse Franco, generally regarded as one of the worlds most eccentric
directors. Franco is quite amazing and his films can be fascinating,    
particularly the ones that are well lit, and in focus. This is not one 
of those. I was quite amused by the whole damn thing.

though:  didn't McBain throw the Senator out the window of a skyscraper and

I can't say for sure when Frank became "TV's Frank". The first time I ran
into his "full" name, it was at the end of a show (don't remember which one).
Joel and the Bots put on the "TV's Frank Shopping Channel", in which TV's
Frank could buy all sorts of righteous junk by just pushing the Bring-Down-
The-Satellite-Of-Love Button. It was a pretty good spoof of QVC. Unfortunately
for Joel, the other Mad Scientist (does he have a name?) came in before
Frank could bring the Satellite of Love down.

Congratulations!  You have just invented the "Winkie Dink And You" 
TV show from the mid-1950s.  Winkie Dink was a cartoon character,
and you sent in three box-tops or something, and got a plastic screen
to put over your tv, and some special crayons.  The show would put up a 
pattern of dots
on the screen, and you would connect them to draw, say, a house.
Then Winkie Dink would open the door of the house you just drew,
walk inside, and wave to you out the window.  Great stuff!  Problem 
was, most kids neglected to order the kit, and just drew right on the 
tv screen with an ordinary crayon.  Many a kid spent many an hour
standing in the corner because of Winkie Dink.

Anybody got a list of what they are showing? I figure it will have their
usual ones <including the one with Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay>,
but I hope they have "Hercules and The Haunted World", pry the best
one ever made <directed by Mario Bava>. I am very happy to see that the
other fave of my childhood, "Herc and the Captive Women" is coming to
MST3K! Yee-Haw!

That's right.  The Unix Users of Minnesota, based in Minneapolis, has the

Having just called Best Brains, I can say that they are unaware of Josh 
working on the Simpsons, but that he is based in LA now. The person I 
talked to thought it was probably him, but told me to call back next
week to talk to someone else about it.

On an unrelated note-

I was alarmed to hear that the 1st <comedy channel> season of MST3K was NOT
going to be re-run. I asked Best Brains about this, and was told that
the rights are held up somehow, tied to the Ha!/Comedy Channel merger.
Apparently, the early KTMA episodes are in the same situation. But, it
they can go another season or so, they will have enough episodes to go into
syndication!!! And most of the above episodes will be included. They are
also considering selling episodes on tape, about the same time.
As soon as that happens, I'll be camped out by their offices to get a copy
of "Humanoid Woman"! Cross your fingers!
