You saw Gallagher instead of MST3K?

I feel for you, man.  Just think of this:
(from the "Things that are funny floating" sketch)

JOEL: Christopher Reeves in Superman: funny or not funny floating?
TOM: Not funny.
JOEL: Right.

JOEL: Christopher Reeves in Monsigneur: funny or not funny floating?
CROW: Funny.  Very funny floating.
JOEL: Right.  Now here's a toughie.  Gallagher, funny or not funny?
EVERYONE ON SET: NOT FUNNY.

It looks like there's already plenty of coverage in the area of text-format
episode guides (hi Lisa!).  I figured that MacWrite II wouldn't be an
appropriate format for most people, but I've gotten a fair bit of positive
response about it.  And since there are more "universal" guides out there,
I'll go ahead and upload mine to syrinx as soon as I get a chance.

It's still a work in progress.  I've only got info for the episodes I've
seen, so I'd be thrilled to hear any suggestions or additions you might
have!

First of all, the words "Bush" and "sense" don't belong in the same post
with each other, much less in the same sentence, unless there are words like
"has no" or "was born without a lick of" are in between them.

Bush vetoed the bill and Congress over-rode the veto.  As far as government
wanting more work, I seriously doubt that you're going to have to call your
representative when your lines are down.  I would prefer to look at the
good side:
	Re-regulation SHOULD mean that cable companies will no longer
	have a monopoly in a certain area, so idiots like TCI cable of
	Athens can no longer charge as much as Atlanta cable systems while
	supplying less than half as many channels.

	Also, the cable companies SHOULD add channels like Comedy Central
	and the Sci-Fi Channel because if they don't, a competitor  might
	be able to come in and take away their business.

The down side includes:
	That's how they SHOULD work, but people, especially businesses,
	are always good at finding ways to get around good regulations.

	And, this bill would allow local channels to charge cable companies
	to carry their signal, which could drive up your cable bill.
	Hopefully, if the FCC regulates pricing, this might negate the
	price increase but again, I doubt it.

I don't care as long as I get Comedy Central at school and I don't have
to depend on my brother to tape MST 3K for me!

I'm for it!

This is the order that the Comedy Channel showed the episodes in, back
when they were first-run episodes (yep, I've been watching it ever since
it premiered on the Comedy Channel.  And all I can say is -- BRING BACK
JOSH WEINSTEIN!  Thank you.)

Anyway, the order for the first season was as follows:

The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy
The Crawling Eye
Mad Monster
The Corpse Vanishes
The Crawling Hand
Robot Monster
Slime People
Project:  Moon Base
Robot Holocaust
Moon Zero-Two
Untamed Youth
Black Scorpion
Women of the Prehistoric Planet

Why they aren't listed in this order, I don't know, nor do I know what
order they were produced in.

 No, it's intentional.  They now have the goofy sounding guy announcing
the show.  It replaces the old "Turn down your lights", which I always enjoyed.
It started around 405 and I assume it will continue throughout the season.

This has been covered several times before, but the correct quote is closer
to: "You did it! You finally did it -- damn you all to hell!" Crow definitely
used this quote correctly in "Rocketship XM" (great Heston impression, too!),
and I presume did so in subsequent episodes.

The other "Apes" quote is "Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"
I don't remember the episode(s) where this was quoted. I can't recall any uses
of the amalgamated quote in the CP Catalog, either, but that may be faulty
memory on my part.

Hi, I have a friend in Edmonton who has expressed interest in
watching MST3k but assumed it didn't show anywhere up there.
I've been meaning to send him tapes, but we haven't worked
out a plan yet. How do you see the show? Is it broadcast there
or do you get tapes too or do you have a sattelite dish?
Please let me know so I can pass along any information to my

Hmmm... I'm not familiar with Desert Peach, so I couldn't say for sure.
Odds are, though, if SS did appear in DP, it was due to his appearances
on rac.  rac was where SS premeired, and any other appearances would be
references to rac.  Look at it this way:  if you caught a small picture
of Crow hidden in, say, and issue of Superman, would you say Crow was
from Superman, or just MST3K?

You could do what I did...  Take one of those GIFs, put it into

enlarge, smooth, and hand retouch for HOURS until you get something
