I had posted about my loss of MST3K awhile back, so I will not dredge up my 
sob story (unless some of you want to hear my personal pain and agony.) 

Anywho, A few people sent me mail offering to circulate tapes with me.  I 
did not repsond to any of them, in the hope that I would be getting a VCR 
soon (Yeah, stupid me, I did not bring one down to college with me).  So I 
saved the messages in the hope that I could respond to them once I got a 
VCR.

WELLLL, I have a VCR now and guess what?  VAX decided to blitz my 
directory.  All of it, gone.  All my work, all my mail, everything.
 
So any of you kind people who would be willing to copy episodes for someone 
who cannot give you any episodes back (Well, I got copies of Turkey Day 
(Who Doesn't?)..  I usually watched them, not taped them, thinking I would 
Comedy Central forever (Silly Me.), Please (PLEASE) send me E-Mail.

Thanks..

So get ready to pay more for your cable TV, unless of course you can 
come up with some examples of when government regulators ever reduced 
the price of electricity, water, gasoline, telephone (pre-breakup of course),
and so forth. The worst thing of all this is that a third of the bozos 
who overrode the veto are going to be voted out of office in November, 
and thus we can't vent our spleens on them. 

Oh well, $20 a month is worth it for MST3K!

Hey, Bud...  What are your sources?  You just expect us to

On another topic, I thought _Tormented_ was one of, if not THE,
best movie they've MSTied.  Really.  If not for the
crappy FX, it would have been good.  (Did I really say
that about a Burt I. Gordon film?)

Any other nominees for best film they've done?  I've only
seen 2/3ds of the experiments.

During Starcon '92 here in Colorado, they had an awful vampire midnite movie
thing.  The whole audience got into that.

Someone even mentioned to Joel the next day that everyone really wished they
had been there.  Plus a request for them to MST the STTNG episode (Time's Arrow
II).  They declined however.  Bummer.

DP?  You mean Doom Patrol?  I don't think Suicide Squid ever made a

You're kidding, right? This reject from an EC comic book was pathetic - it 
was so transparent that I almost expect the gang to say "and there was a hook
on the doorknob" at the end when 6's (oops, that Vi's) body washed up with the
wedding ring on it. This could have been a 30 minute, max, Twilight Zone 
episode instead of a 90 minute plus movie. Gee, the guy dies at the end, 
what a surprise!

All this geek had to do anyway was to report her death as a suicide and confess
his past sins to his fiancee. Geez, he could have probably gotten a lot of 
sympathy from the old "I tried to grab her but failed" line. Talk about 
deep hurting, this movie is it!

Sky fits heaven so ride it!

Have you thought about long distance lately?

Do you get annoyed at all the commercials we have to see over and over again
when taping MST 3K?  Sure, we all do!

The actual size of a Jolly Rancher candy is 3/4 of an inch by 3/4".  Square.

I think that's the only reason I would like to see MST on syndication.  I
don't see how they can syndicate the show because 1) it's 2 hours long,
and 2) it's just plain weird.  I don't know if the Atlanta market is any
indication, but I don't think any of the local stations that would be looking
to syndicate a program would have a 2-hour block to fill, and I would certainly
hope they don't split it up into 1-hour halves.  That would not be the 
ginchiest.

On the brighter side, think of all the good things we'd get to be without
if we no longer had to watch Comedy Central to see it!  No more AT & T
commercials, no more of Penn Gillette's annoying voice-overs, no more of
that annoying Allan Havey or that insipid Brian Reagan from SAST.  At least
we don't have to see that kid from the Encyclopedia Britannica commercials.

Although in Comedy Central's defense, I have to admit that lately I get
a "funny tingly feeling" whenever I see Mo Gaffney from Women Aloud.  Wonder
if she goes for younger, decidedly un-feminist men?

Yes indeed, I was an avid watcher of the KTMA episodes. Still searching for
my old tapes. And yes, I know that there are those out there who would give
me the bot off their satellite for tapes.
According to the folks at Best Brains, they do indeed have the rights to
the KTMA episodes, but they are held up by problems derived from the 
Ha!-Comedy Channel merger. They will be included in the syndication package,
or so they told me. 
I ain't holding my breath, but I would like to see those shows again.

Sorry, I doubt that very much, I must say--a doubter!

Adolphe Menjou was a middle-aged "sophisticate" character-actor (who also play-
ed many leads) in the 1930s.  He had the same suave, grey-haired, moustachioed
Walter Pidgeon look as the guy whose face was on the screen when the comment
was made.

It's still a pretty obscure reference, but not (directly anyway--Bruce may well
have been referring to the real Mr. Menjou in his routine, but I'm not familiar
with Lenny's stuff at all) the one you're citing.

Spa fon!

The Red Dwarf episode was transmitted substantially before the Brittas
Empire episode, so I think we can assume that Grant Naylor came before
the writer(s) of TBE. By the way, Brittas Empire is the sadest excuse
for a British sitcom since Terry and June: it truly defines "lame".

	I just listened to what I think was the Broadway recording of
"Starlight Express" (yes, I AM willing to admit I like Andrew Lloyd Webber
shows) and discovered that Danny John-Jules, the Cat, was in the show. Since
this show was an "ensemble production" they didn't list specific performers
for the parts, but I think Danny was playing a character called Rocky One.
Can anyone clarify this? (Other performers in this show included Samantha
Fox-bleah-and Frances Ruffelle, who played Eponine in the original London
