Greetings.
Although I've never seen the show, I understand that it's from
"Death Valley Days" staring Ex-pres. Ronny Reagan.
At least I think that's where it's from.
I could of course be from one of his movies, but I'm not about to sit
through a couple of hours of bad acting westerns.
I had to sit through 8 years of him in office. That's bad enough.

Some people will probably flame me (Do your worst!) for saying that this gag
is "new," but one thing I noticed in quite a few of the episodes this summer
was that, whenever someone in a film was smoking, Tom Servo (or was it Joel)
would make that smirking noise that people make when they're trying to hold in
their pot.  The first time I saw this was in "Mighty Jack":  it was a laff
riot!  (BTW, what the hell was that movie about? ["Like it matters!" as Crow
said in "Rocket Attack USA"])  Also BTW, supposedly holding pot in for a long
time doesn't get you anymore stoned; it just puts more tar into your blood.
But I'm no expert, it's just a little factoid I heard...

Really? I swear the line about "Yonda lies da place ub my fodda, da Caliph"

I am really suprised by this too. Nice try, but the delivery definately marks
it as being from the old Dennis Weaver cop atrocity, "McCloud". The line is
usually delivered in a dead-on impersonation of McCloud's boss. He would
get exasperated, and yell it like that at least once an episode.
Sorry, but the delivery makes all the difference. Soon as they scream it ala
Highlander, I'll concede the point.

Since I saw it posted here, I've been listening for the 'pizza' at door #3 
and I HEARD IT!  

This evening I pointed it out to my mother while watching "Teenagers From
Outer Space" and she heard it too.

If it's NOT 'pizza', it sure sounds like it.  Geeze, no wonder I've been 
haunting Domino's lately. :-)

Well, this is from memory, so you'll (hopefully) forgive any errors:

In the not-too distant future,
Next Sunday A.D.
There was a guy named Joel,
Not too different from you or me.

He worked at Gizmonic Institutes,
Just another face in a red jumpsuit,
He did a good job cleaning up the place,
But his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space.

"We'll send him cheesy movies,
The worst we can find (La-la-la),
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
Then we'll monitor his mind (La-la-la)."

Now keep in mind Joel can't control
When the movies begin or end,
Because he used those special parts
To make his robot friends.

Robot Roll Call!    (Let's go!)
Cambot!             (Pan left, Cambot)
Gypsy!              (Hi, girls!)
Tom Servo!          (What a cool guy!)
Croooow!            (What a wisecracker!)

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes,
And other science facts, (La-la-la)
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
I should really just relax!"

For Mystery Science Theater 3000!


At least, that's how I hear it.  The parathetical notations during the
Robot Roll Call are lines added in that you may have to listen hard to
hear.  I'm not sure they're 100% correct, I just put what I heard.

Speaking of Batman, can anybody verify that the Kevin Murphy listed in the

Along similar lines, there is Benjamin Britten's "Variations on a Theme by
Purcell" otherwise known as "The Young People's Guide to the Orchestra". I
also recall Tom saying something like "Here comes the harp" recently.

A little off-topic, but I as a bassoonist always get a little chuckle
watching the cantina scene in Star Wars (for obvious reasons), and remember
the jazz bassoon licks played in Jabba's fortress in "Return of the Jedi".

It's obvious that Kevin Murphy has at least a cursory musical background
from some the comments he imbues Tom with.

	I thought it was the opening from Death Valley Days.  Tho I'm not
sure if Reagan said the opening or not, I'm almost sure he was the star.
Thus, the Reagan impression.

Not yet, but I've been hoping that the upcoming episode #416 entitled

Then again, if it does turn out to be a Charo movie, I won't be too

Hey, what a great idea!  Joel and the Bots doing Ronald Reagan films!

Well, thanks to this discussion, I must have watched that opening sequence
about 50 times.  Here's how I see it:

Door 5 does indeed have hoops.  Thanks to the miracles of the pause button,
I am sure that there are 6 (six).  Three above the "5" and 3 below.

Now whenever I see door 3 I hear "pizza", even though I'm fairly certain 
that it is just the 'whoosh' sound effect.

On another related note, if you play the tape backwards, it says "I burried
Paul" clear as a bell on door 4.

I think we're getting into a wierd area here.  Maybe we had all better just
relax.

Well, the xv program *may* view gifs depending on the version#.  Just take 
one of the gif files foo.gif for example and type  xv foo.gif & .  If this

Actually, this goes back further still. One example that I can think of
right off the vole is in Beethoven's Symphony #6, 2nd Movement, Coda where
each treble woodwind depicts various birds: flute - nightingale, oboe -
bobolink, and clarinet - cuckoo. 'Course me and the bassoon aspire to less
mundane heights and fondly recall imatating a drunk on at least two
occasions: Lortzing's The Czar's Disguise and Arnold's Scottish Dances.

By the way, that's a low B, Bb at the end of the Married With Children
theme <grinsky>.

Lassie, I expect.

Any Quinn Martin production..."The FBI" comes to mind.


How about "Zanadu, home of Charles Foster Kane.  Price?  No one can say."
 (usually when showing a fancy house)
         or "Rosebud!" (when somebody is about to croak)

  -Citizen Kane

Connection problems between ultb and the world:

Speaking of catchphrases and such, something I've been hearing during
the Hercules movies has left me wondering.

Specifically, whenever one of the miniskirted men in the movie is caught in 
a (ahem) crotch-shot, I hear remarks from the Big Three about 'buffalo shot'.
I think I understand WHAT a 'buffalo shot' is, I guess what I want to know 
is why 'buffalo'?

Is this another movie reference or is it a regional nickname or did it
come from somewhere else?  It's not that important, I was just curious.
