yes, it's in the FAQ, which I was told when I asked the same question about
a month ago :-).

I don't think it's CamBot saying it, since that would mean he's saying
something to himself in the first rollcall slot (his own) saying 'Pan Left'.

A thought...how can we see CamBot in the starting?  How could he see
himself?  maybe it's done with mirrors...

I have to agree with you. The only thing CC has to offer in the way of
original, worthwhile entertainment is MST3k. Some shows, such as
"Whose Line is it Anyway?" are good, but aren't original, and some
shows, such as "Short Commercial Span Theater" (as i have taken to calling
it) and "Night after Night" are just plain unentertaining. A network
cannot survive, IMHO, showing nothing but reruns and diced up stand up 
comedy. This would not bother me overly much except for the fact that
I fear that the demise of CC will inevitably result in the demise of MST3k.
It does not seem likely to me that anyone will pick it up if CC goes under
(but I hope I am wrong).
	I think that many of us agree that MST is the only bright spot
in an otherwise unoriginal broadcast line-up, as would many TV critics.
MST is the only show, in fact, that I have ever heard mentioned by a critic
that airs exclusively on CC. If this is the only thing they have going
for them, why do they choose to preempt its broadcast with that ridiculous
"Stand-up COunt-up"? I realize that they want programming that is easily
automated (i.e. they can program their computer to show 400 episodes
of "The A-List" and go to their New Year's Eve parties), but it seems that
NEw Year's is a perfect time to show MST. It allows us college students(who
don't get cable at school) to record more episodes and "keep circulating
the tapes" amongst our peers while exposing another sector of the population
to MST. I personally know of 10 people who got hooked on the show as a
direct result of the Thanksgiving Marathon. If I ran the zoo, I would do
everything I could to show MST. It is true that oversaturating the airwaves
with MST could rob it of its charm and cult flavor, but I think that CC
is limited enough in its national coverage to preserve this. 
	Well! I'm sorry that was so long winded. The thought of
being deprived of MST puts me in a mood. Feel free to email me
with flames, etc.

These are my three. I realize that two of them are first season,
but dammit I pared the list down as far as it would go. I won't
pare further. I won't!


1)          104 Women of the Prehistoric Planet
DEEP13: Clay & Lar's Flesh Barn

Great song and inspired the Gizmotic Burger (in my mind, at least).


2)          107 Robot Monster (Commando Cody parts 4 & 5)
SOL:    Cumber-bubble-bund

The disco Cumber-bubble-bund was derivative. I know this was part of
Joel's old act, but I liked it then and I like it now.


3)          207 Wild Rebels
SOL:    3-D Pizza

Star Trek/Pizza references will always win my vote.

Aside from the encouraged 'circulation', it is doubtful, because BBI
and CC do not OWN the rights to the movies, and would have to obtain
sed circulation rights for putting the shows on video. Plus, there
would have to be some minor editing to smooth transitions of the
commercial breaks.

Of course, I think I would rather see BBI get INTERNATIONAL rights
before video rights, because as much as I love MST, I would rather
have others get the opportunity in another country to see it.

But that's me.

Perhaps the "Go-Go" had something to do with that unimportant scene (name one
that wasn't) with the kids' party... prior to the attack on that teenager
(attack not shown).  One of the few films I've seen worse than "Cave
Dwellers."

Actually, if you were/are on Comedy Central's mailing list, the January
listing of MST3K which shows the names of the films *STILL* says Friday
nights at 12:30 AM.  However, in the graphic on the last page of the
newsletter which shows all the shows in relation to the others to the time
schedule, MST3K is on at 12:00 AM Friday night.

This would have confused anybody.

	I thought the storyline after they killed Col. Iron Horse

 I dont know if anyone caught this, but in the NY Times Arts section on sunday
(page 22-h, Film) they had the unmitigated gall to call Roger Corman a "writer,
director, producer."                
 The horror! the horror!

You are Correct!  I also remember watching "Land of the Lost", "H.R. Puffnstuff", and
"Dr. Shrinker".  There was another one with the *schlepp car*, but I can't remember
the name of this one (HELP!)  These shows were all by SID and MARTY KROFT.  Are there
any cable channels showing these?  I want to see them again!!
