I found this episode much poorer than the first. If the third doesn't
improve, I guess I'll stop watching it. (This is part of my theory
about series. It applies to book, TV programs, whatever. The first
(pilot, first book, etc.) is just about always good, or at least OK. People
put in all their accumulated ideas, work, efforts, etc to get the thing going
and there is a lot of meat to the beginning. Then, for the second one, they've
used up all they had, and haven't had time to build up more, nor do they
have the history and environment of a long-running show or series to
draw upon for inspiration, enhancement of details, etc. The second one is
always the worst... In books, this only changes when the real first book
was something so long that the publisher insists it be split into two 
printed books, and then the let-down is in #3...)

Anyway, back to GTX: What about that box? I was convinced there was a blender
in the box. As far as I saw, it was never mentioned or seen again after it
sat there on the table when the characters were reading the mail.

Why would a box be delivered when the letters were not? Was this just to
point up the incompetence of the islanders? If *nothing* was delivered,
it would be a suitable topic for the "culture-shock" aspects. As it was, it
was insulting to the natives... And why not just mark the box "Return
to Sender"? That would fit into the postal bureaucracy system...

How could a tiny transformer or choke be the component that would fix the
centrifuge? I expected the guy to take it back to the lab fixed, and
somehow point out to the instructor that the centrifuge was OK, and then for
the instructor to say something like "How can that be? That thing hasn't
worked for years!"

How can a centrifuge be used as a blender anyway? Would the bowl be watertight?
Just use the arms as blender blades? Besides, labs have blenders too. (But
you probably wouldn't want to eat stuff that has been in them! :-)

The binoculars the one guy was using were different than the binocs used
by the other guy to spot the naked instructor in the first episode.

What was the business with the doctor/instructor and the sexy female
tourist all about? Just a chance to show some flesh? Was his invitation to
the female student a come-on or just a friendly invitation to join a walk?

This is the second time I know of the the Networks have simulcast.  The first
was 2 or 3 years ago on a Saturday Morning.  If I remember correctly all three
major networks, PBS and maybe Nickelodean (sp) all broadcast an animated Drug
Awareness special using characters from many different current Saturday morning
animated T.V. shows.

However, the one of Friday was probably a first for Prime Time.

They cut out a lot of short segments, as well as censoring the best
line in the movie.  I wonder why they couldn't schedule a 2:15 time
slot?  Delaying the 11:00 local news by 10-15 minutes is common after
a 9:00 movie.

I really MUST speak with my cable company about their reception during the 
hours of 12:30am to 2:30am, Saturday mornings.  This is the SECOND time
our cable has been fading in and out during MST3K.  At least I did get it
on tape - it was hard to watch since I was holding my breath that
it wouldn't go out completely.  

One comment I greatly appreciated was Crow's remark about the coat hanger
as the crew was entering the ship:

Joel: Hey look!  They're coming in through the toilet!
(as crewman climbs out of toilet, someone says something to the effect of: 
'last one out is (something - I told you it was hard to watch)'

Crow (as one more climbs out): "Oh that was you!  I tought I was going to 
have to cut you up with a coat hanger" 

I guess I'm not the ONLY one who has abused coat hangers in such a manner.
I was braying like a mad dog when he said that! 8^D

Geeze...

Lifetime is shuffling its late-night schedule, and it looks like "The
Days and Nights of Molly Dodd" is gone. It's definitely not still in
the 12:30 a.m. time slot.

Unfortunately, the TV section of my Sunday paper doesn't show the 1:00
a.m. to 6:00 a.m. listings for Lifetime, so I can't tell whether the
show might have been bumped to a later time.  I rather doubt it,
though, because a promo that was run during Thursday night's show
mentioned the new 12-1 shows but didn't say anything about Molly
moving. Anyone know for sure?

Also, who has the Molly Dodd episode guide? I can't seem to find my
copy anywhere.


Thanks!

Well, to put it a bit more clearly. The main organizing group,
who call themselves "Jerry's Orphans" object to the tactics of
raising money through pity. One of the key events that set this
off was apparently Jerry made a comment a few years back that if
he had MS, he would not be a complete person. Naturally, those

It sure is.  The episode "God Bless the Child", where the parents were

   nope, TPABB show was after my time, the episode of which i was thinking was
   the Flintstones, where the baby pebbles and baby bam-bam, while still unable
   to talk, are able to sing quite well in harmony.

Sorry about that!  My wife agrees with you.  To atone, let me mention
three more songs: "The Bedrock Twitch", "Happy Anniversary" (not
exactly an original), and "Soft Soap" (a commercial - the soap was
"Great for kids and brontosaurus' too").

Speaking of the Flintstones...

I was leafing through my TV Guide the other day (the first one I've ever
bought, and probably the last) and I came across an advertisement for a
chess set with a "Flintstones Meet the Jetsons" motif.  One player uses
pieces shaped like Flintstones characters, the other, the Jetsons.
Each piece is forty bucks a pop.

Now my question is:  Who in the hell would buy a piece of dreck like this?
Who in God's name would spend $640 (excluding the pawns, which were not shown)
for this kind of kitsch?  Is there anyone at all?

Quite a bit actually - but I'm sure what Jerry's main point of reference
would be is the armor used, which would place the movie around the 14th
or 15th century (as a basic archetype, even Henry V didn't have no chrome
armor) while the evidence for a historical Arthur (There are a few decent
books on the historical Arthur) places him as a Celtic king around the
5th or 6th Century CE (Common Era = A.D.) in what would become northern
England or Southern Scotland.

Of course, that hasn't stopped me from buying the Excalibur Laserdisc...

The name of the miniseries about the Holocaust that was made around 10
years ago is simply "Holocaust".  I remember the series vividly, since
it was not only well done, but it was my first exposure as a youngster
to the Holocaust.  The series did have some scenes of people being 
taken into into gas chambers, and they did show both rear and at least
half frontal nudity.  Even at that young age I understood why the
network allowed those scene(s)...the nudity was necessary to convey
the complete loss of dignity and humanity of those people.
