No - the "T." is really a phonetic thing, because without it, it would be
just "Crow Robot", which doesn't have the same ring at all.  Kinda like
Crepy Girl.

I grew up in Northern Wisconsin and wondered if the channel that carried
MST there was once Channel 11, WTCN.  Anyone remember Casey and Roundhouse?
(Or on 'CCO--Clancy and Carmen, and the day Axel the Clown dropped dead
from a heart attack?  Talk about high comedy!)

Just wondering, MST Minneapolites.....

Actually, it was just the subplot for one episode. BJ finally

   I feel sorry for Penn.  He's pretty good when on stage or doing magic.
Make him a spokesperson (or New Year's Eve commentator) and he sucks.
Everyone who hates him based solely on their experiences via Comedy Central
should give him another chance--see him on tour.  Everyone who hates his act

Hi,
   **************Warning!******Warning*****Warning******Warning***********
   This is a warning about a possible change in the air time for the friday
night telecasts of MST3K. I recieved the local cable guide a couple days before
the Comedy Central News Letter and decided to check out the movies for MST in
there (our guide has switched from listing MST3K to the actual movies being
"mstied") and was suprised to see the show listed as starting 1/2 hour earlier
on fridays. At first I thought it might be a mistake and so waited to see what
the Comedy Central Newsletter said, and unfortunately the newsletter seems to
contradict itself. If you look at the list of movies MST will be showing, then
the start time of the friday episodes are still 1230 EST (1130 central). But
if you look at the schedule of all the programs Comedy Central is running this
month (set up like most cable/tv guides), the friday episodes are scheduled to
start at 1200 EST (1100 central)!!! I suspect that they have moved up the
start time especially since "Night After Night" no longer appears on the 
schedule and this show used to precede MST3K. To be safe, I'm planning to
set my vcr to bracket both time slots for the friday nights in January (until 
I can figure out what the starting time really is). 
   I recommend that people with the Comedy Central Newsletter and/or cable/tv
guide check them over carefully for January (of course it is possible that 
Comedy Central misinformed my cable company and their newsletter people about
the schedule). There does not seem to be any change for the saturday morning
shows.

"Pod People" featured a great take off of "Music from the Hearts of 
Space", once early in the film and another during one of their sketch 
breaks.  I don't know how many of you have heard this public radio 
program (produced in the Bay area), but Joel and the 'Bots were right on.  
"Hearts of Space" is carried on about 300 public radio stations, including 
Minnesota Public Radio, which is where I assume the BB people hear it.  If 
you haven't heard it, tune in then check out the "Pod People" again.  I know 
the producer of "Hearts of Space" (Stephen Hill) and will be seeing him in 
February, maybe I'll take him a tape of "Pod People."  He'll probably love 
it.

I don't know, but I bet they could get Scott to make a guest

Al. I like it. ("Ziggy says there is a 98% probability Your mission is

You mean Dr. Clayton Forrester? 'Frank' is the equivelent of an
'itern' at Gizmonic Institute, and is currently working out of Deep 13
with Clayton Himself. 

Before you get confused, let me explain something. Comedy Central only
shows episodes from the second cable season on. There is a first cable
season and a season from KTMA channel 23. The only difference between
what's shown and what isn't is Josh Weinstein. Josh was the origional
'Tom Servo'. He was also Dr. Larry Erndhart, Clay's partner in crime,
who 'dissapeared' after the first cable season (Frank was a writer,
but didn't appear until season 2). People try to compare Larry to
Frank. Ignore them. Both are good in their own way, though Larry was
an equal, and Frank a subordinate. Kevin Murphy currently does 'Tom
Servo', and I believe Kevin was a writer during season 1 also. People
also like to compare Servo's. Ignore them. Both are good in there own
way, but Kevin has a MUCH better singing voice.

There was also another Rush reference at the end of that one(I think it was
that one) where they're going to through the finalists of a drawing competition
they held and they hold up one that has this Escher-like geometric on it
and Joel is like "Hey, yeah...its a space helix of some sort..its very

To "Terri in Cleveland",

  I've lived in the Twin Cities all my life, and while I'm not an expert on the
subject, I'll try and give you my best recollections.

Here it goes...

  Back in the 70s, Channel 11 (WTCN) was an independent station which carried
Casey and Roundhouse (of course, you knew that) which I remember watching myself as
a kid.  Later, two other stations, channel 5 (KSTP-NBC) and channel 9 (KMSP-ABC) along
with WTCN decided to shuffle their networks.  What happened was WTCN became an NBC
affiliate, KSTP got ABC, and channel 9 went independant.  During the mid 80s, WTCN
aquired the call letters WUSA. A couple of months later, the call letters were
purchased by a Washington D.C. station (I think) and channel 11 became KARE. Channels
2 and 17 (PBS) and channel 4 (WCCO-CBS) remained the same throughout this time.

  Enough about the VHF channels.  During the 80s, three new UHF channels were added;
in channel 41 (KLXX, St. Cloud), channel 29 (KITN-FOX), and channel 23 (KTMA).  KTMA was the station that started it all!  I remember watching the original MST episodes with my brother on Saturdays and I've been a fan ever since!  Channels 41 and 23 have since changed ownership and call letters a number of times.

  Well I hope this brings you up to date. :)
