I'm starting to have second thoughts about ordering the video that has
all the music from MST3K - can you imagine? I'll probably end up in 
Camarillo state hospital, humming one MST3K song after another, creating
little drool polls wherever I sit.

Seems like a couple of easy ones.
"McCloud!" refers to the cop show of the same name. It's always delivered in a
fair impersonation of McCloud's boss, who would yell at McCloud when he was
angry. <which as I recall was all the time>.

"My/His Mother is/was a saint" is a line that has shown up a LOT, whether it
be Jimmy Cagney/Edward G. Robinson gangsta movies, or "Welcome Back, Kotter".
The cliche is that someone will say something about Cagney/Robinson/Barbarino's
mother, and our hero will say something like "My Mother is A Saint?" and pop
the guy one. Probably easiest to find it on Kotter, but they have made jokes
about this in old Warner Brothers Cartoons. There could be another reference
I'm missing, but I remember these.

The list I compiled is different from the list at the syrinx site because
I compiled my list from Best Brains' own.  (You get the list when you join
the Info Club.)  I stated this in the list which I sent out.  (Read again!)

I have no idea how the episode list at syrinx was put together, but I'm
sticking to my list as it is from BBI itself, and they should have *some*

Yeah, but the ship is orbiting the Earth so it's a satellite, just

That's it!  Write to Comedy Central and Best Brains and tell them that we
want to see those episodes on Turkey Day!  After all, I believe there are
13 or 20 episodes (sometimes they say 13, sometimes they say 20--I wish 
they'd make up their minds!) which would make it 26 to 40 hours of continuous
programming.

If it is 20 episodes for 40 hours, that would *again* increase the hours of 
the marathon by 10.  First it was Labor Day Blowout! in 1990 with 10 episodes 
at 20 hours, then Turkey Day in 1991 with 15 episodes at 30 hours; now 20 
original episodes at 40 hours--how are they going to be able to continue this 
trend?!

They use the Toaster for the closing credits, or didn't you recognize the
font?

Newtek actually mentions them along with Babylon 5 as one of the shows using
the Toaster.  They specifically note the Death and Taxes promo where they
used the Toaster ChromaFX and the movieola crouton to get the old movie
effect.  This special attention makes more sense when you realize that
Newtek's sales office is in Minneapolis (their R&D is still in Kansas of
course).  I was working at a Toaster demo a few months ago and while
everyone else was goggling at Kiki, I was over talking to this other rep
from Minneapolis asking about Best Brains...
