• “Stuffing vs. Potatoes”–701(TD)- NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST: Some, or perhaps many of you, haven’t seen this version of this episode (it was only shown twice). But for me it really is the one standout segment. Witty and silly at the same time
• Crow reads a trashy romance novel to a medicated Pearl–703- DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL: “I dreamed a gold man was reading to me from a dirty book.” Great stuff.
• Dr. F. leads a focus group–704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN: Brilliant, a chance for the Brains to express their frustration with the focus group process that contributed to making MST3K the Movie less than it could have been.
• With the SOL heading toward a black hole, Mike undergoes a terrifying but useful transformation!–706- LASERBLAST: All the segments in this final Comedy Central episode are great, but Mike’s bizarre unexplained ability to suddenly “be” somebody else is use to wonderful effect.
• The SOL reaches the edge of the universe and its inhabitants become beings of pure energy! Meanwhile, Dr. F. becomes unstuck in time, has a revelation and is reborn–706- LASERBLAST: Bittersweet and oh-so-funny.
Least fave: Crow wants Mike and Tom to sing “Hang down your head, Tom Dewey”–702- THE BRUTE MAN: These sketches where one character thinks something is funny, but it isn’t, were usually just not funny.
) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Season 7 was the first MST3K season I saw when it was new, so while it stands out for me in my memories, looking back over the other episodes now I’ve come to the conclusion that most of the segments just didn’t work for me.
1) #703 – Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell: Mike and the ‘bots try to sell Dr. F on the value menu. I love Dr. F’s slow burn as the ‘bots exasperate him with nonsense fast food options while Pearl whines in the background.
2) #705 – Escape 2000: Toblerone in Deep 13. My friends and I cracked up at Tob’s antics in the movie, so to see him turn up in Deep 13 at the end was a riot. At the time (remember, we were new to the MST experience) we didn’t know that characters from the movies could turn up in the segments.
3) #706 – Laserblast: The Thunderdome joke. I’ve been waiting for years to work this gag into a regular conversation somewhere, but nobody ever talks about a bad Thunderdome experience. Or a Rangoon experience, either.
4) #706 – Laserblast: Mike as Captain Janeway, especially the line about being responsible for the hundreds of crew members on the ship that we never see.
5) #702 – The Brute Man: Tom as the Chicken of Tomorrow, mostly for Crow’s line about getting a bunch of paper towels.
Least favorite: while I didn’t care for Dr. F’s final fate in #706, the one segment that never makes any sense from a “really should relax” point of view is when Pearl and Dr. F come to the SOL for a script conference in #704. M&TB, honestly, your captors are right there in the same room with you at last! Knock them down and steal their shuttlecraft! Hurry! Oh, too late, they’ve gone.
I also have a short list of favorites from Season 7:
#705 Escape 2000: Dablone (aka Toblerone) from the movie releases Dr. F’s mother from her “home”
#706 Laserblast: The SOL is cut loose; the field of star babies; the close encounter with a black hole; M&TB become beings of pure energy and Dr. F becomes a star baby
Least favorite (tie): #702 The Brute Man: The “Tom Dewey” bit and #706 Laserblast: The “Thunderdome” joke (both are kind of droll)
[701- Night of the Blood Beast]
Mother Forrester demands that her ne’er do well son ‘confess.’ she won’t specify which misdeeds he needs to own up to, which compels him to recite a list of possible transgressions [a technique often used in Catholic households.] he recounts past events involving offending bodily fluids, finally inquiring ‘is it poop related?’ he decides that enough is enough, and pulls a knife on his oppressive mother. Mrs. Forrester is more than ready for this turn of events. she calmly dons her shootin’ glasses, picks up a gun in her talon-manicured hand, and fires a few rounds to teach her boy a lesson. she turns to the SOL crew; don’t they need to watch a movie? Crow’s mangled scream of raw animal terror is priceless as they all scramble for cover.
Crow has lain with Blood Beast and is ‘pregnant’ with a few dark prawns. even more funny/ridiculous than the movie guy’s throbbing ‘alien’ offspring. always makes me hungry for shrimp.
[702- The Brute Man]
Mrs. Forrester is courted by a slimy creature named ‘Sandy’, wearing polyester and a bad wig, and probably too much cologne. although he is thoroughly repellent, he struts and preens. he’s convinced himself he is a stud. I feel sorry for Dr. Forrester, torn between feelings of revulsion and filal piety toward his mom. at least we know that something horrible will happen to Sandy. he is BRILLIANTLY played by Paul Chaplin. well done!
Mike’s call to his old girlfriend, which results in him being subjected to the antics of her breathy, mumbling offspring who hogs his precious phone time. the kid impersonation is spot on. there’s nothing worse than an enforced conversation with a toddler, except maybe being subjected to a child-recited answering machine message. I guess every parent thinks that their kid is adorable.
least favorite: the too stupid to be funny Tom Dewey bit.
‘eggs are complicated- they should cost like a hundred dollars each’
[703- Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell]
Mary-Jo Pehl is the utter personification of a needy ill parent with nothing really wrong with them. they just like manipulating their offspring with impunity, a syndrome known as ‘puppeting.’ I’m serious; a head nurse told me the term that hospitals use for this type of patient behavior. my mother was in the hospital for extended stays, on and off, for years. sometimes she really was quite sick and sometimes not. and yes: she often acted like Mrs. Forrester in these sketches. I watched these segments for the first time with my jaw dropped open slackly. MST3K captures EXACTLY the pathos of this dynamic. bravo and brava. I love when Mother Forrester has become so exponentially needy that she pages her son, who is right next to her, who answers the page and calls- her. she continues her wail of need: ‘ Clayton… Claydon… Claydon!… Clay-ton’ painfully funny.
the blank tone in which Crow and Tom Servo dutifully recite the menu for their fast food restaurant is hysterical, as is Mike as the pathetic ‘can-do’ manager. I want a ‘Mr. Mistie’ Burger, and the Potato Planks! but not- a Mello Yello, or a— Clown Burger. ewww. poor Trace! he really has his hands full here, and is very funny.
the charm of a Renaissance Festival has always eluded me. you have to pay pay pay to wander around in the sun with a bunch of people who think they are clever and charming, and are taking themselves wayyy too seriously. no thank you. the SOL’s version of this manifestation of human nerd-greed is well— accurate. and funny.
[704- The Incredible Melting Man]
the Hollywood/’Earth Versus Soup’ stuff is funny, but it is also painful to think that our beloved MST3K personnel must have been subjected to the smarmy, dripping, fang-lined, mouth-attached-directly-to-an-anus that is this system, which is so bent on sniffing out money and the bottom line, in which creativity is merely a conveyor belt toward the almighty dollar. how wise they were to stay in the Midwest! I do love the lurid Midwestern matron hair-dos and makeup on Mary-Jo Pehl as Mrs. Forrester.
‘Ted—-Nel-son… Nelson/Nelson…’
[705- Escape 200]
‘Mens’ Night.’ beer. cigars. men. yes.
Paul Chaplin is frightening as Timmy Bobby Rusty, the supposed to be ratings-boosting cute kid addition.
oh, god- Mike Nelson as ‘Toblerone.’ he looks oddly awesome in his 80’s goon-garb.
[706- Laserblast]
I love this episode! what a time-capsule of the 70’s! although the ‘Beyond Thunderdome’ bit at the beginning gets tiresome immediately.
Jim Mallon as ‘Monad’ is excellent! ‘are you saying something imperfect? if you are, say it to the group!’ they invite him to a pizza party, then trick him Kirk-style by informing him the party is on a different night. Monad won’t be fooled: he’s going to blow up these imperfect life-forms anyway. the construction of the Nomad parody robot is superb. well done, and very funny.
hate the screaming babies in space. this sequence goes on much too long.
Mike Nelson as Captain Janeway always leaves me speechless. I admit, I really don’t know what I’m feeling when I watch this segment. I’m torn between a deep, admiring horror and visceral nausea. which is probably the effect they wanted to achieve, anyway.
what can I say? Dr. Clayton Forrester’s metamorphosis into Star Baby is just- breathtaking. I loved 2001, and always enjoy when the SOL crew breaks into the moaning voice chorus that accompanies any sight of a monolith-type object. this homage to A Space Odyssey is touching; especially with Trace Beaulieu’s own father as the aged, pointing from his bed Dr. Forrester, who is confronted by the final monolith from beyond: The Worst Movie Ever Made. Trace himself is so good in his brilliant exit as the resident villain, and as the man behind the scenes who was Crow T. Robot. the man who, for so many years, gave us much laughter and joy. again, bravo, and many thanks.
I’ve only seen The Brute Man so my favorite is probably the Mike calls his ex-girlfriend bit.
Gotta be honest. I have always hated this season. Maybe it’s ’cause MST3K: The Movie took so much out of them, maybe it was the loss of TV’s Frank, but I thought that with the exception of “Night of the Blood Beast” and “Laserblast”, this was MST’s worst. “Escape 2000 is impossible to sit through, as is “Brute Man”. “Deathstalker” is mediocre at best, as is “The Incredible Melting Man”. However, if I had to pick one skit, it would be the “Beyond Thunderdome” skit. It’s so childish, yet brilliant.
I adore this season. The riffing is as strong here as it ever was, and the host segments were lots of fun. Limiting this to five favorites is really unfair, Sampo, you horrible sadist! :)
That said, if I must pick only five:
1) 701, Night of the Bloodbeast: Mrs Forrester makes her son apologize for the “bad thing,” but Clay doesn’t know what it is. “Is it poop related?” I missed TVs Frank quite a bit when this season began, but I have to admit: it was lots of fun watching Dr F slowly but surely become totally emasculated by his overbearing, acerbic mom who was quite possibly even crazier than he was. And of course it was in this episode where we learned the true name of our evil mad scientist: Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester. Too good to be true.
2) Same episode: Crow is pregnant. Why not? If the lumpy protagonist of this film can become pregnant (while wearing his upsettingly tight trousers), surely Crow can bear the fruit of Bloodbeast’s loins as well, right? The whole skit is absurd and fun and charming and a great example of Crow’s tendency to identify a little too closely with characters in the films. The ‘ever-widening ass’ line is simply classic.
3) Pearl has a date in 702, The Brute Man. Paul just nailed that role: he’s so creepy and misogynistic and disgustingly invasive, and he gives me the willies while I laugh my butt off. Bonus points to Dr F for inexplicably sewing the head of a piglet onto the tail of a fish. Another ‘WTF?!’ moment that always makes me laugh.
4) It’s baseball season in 704, The Incredible Melting Man. All of the host segments in this episode were lots of fun as I expect the Brains just let loose a whole load of pent-up frustration with their movie-making experience. The focus group was especially funny. However, my favorite host segment here was actually the opening in which Tom beans Mike in the head and the big, dumb clod gets systematically taken down when he foolishly charges the mound. Poor Mike. This was a great example of what Crow stated a few seasons later: ‘Robots do not fight clean.’ Another simple premise that resulted in a fantastic skit.
5) Mike as Captain Janeway in 706: Laserblast. One of the reasons I very, very slightly prefer Mike as host is skits like these. I pretty much guarantee that Joel would never have strapped on some fake boobs and a wig and then gyrated around to Proud Mary. (Actually, that may be a good thing. Huh. Anyway….) Maybe Mike just isn’t as self-conscious as Joel was or Mike drank heavily before shooting skits like these. Who knows. They were so much fun and so ridiculously funny and I’m grateful that Mike seems to have a fairly high personal humiliation threshold.
Least favorite: bugger, that’s a hard choice. I really did like all of them, even the Tom Dewey skit (probably because I’m a historian and have written lots on Dewey), though I guess that’s the weakest.
I think every episode in Season Seven, as far as riffing goes, is incredible. Many people say that The Incredible Melting Man is a worse movie than Manos, which is possible, given it’s incredible stupidity. Anyway, segments:
1)701 – Night of the Blood Beast – Segment 2: Phones! A hilarious send-up of the really stupid short with angel dust and singing and phones, showing that it could have been done as effectively in 2 minutes. “I’ll line you up against the wall and Pop goes the Weasel!”
2)703 – Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell – Segment 4: Crow Reads to Pearl. I love all the segments from 703 (Crow’s active lifestyle in his new hair, the fast food bit, the Ren fair stuff) but Crow awkwardly reading Love’s Sweet Throbbing Gondola is priceless.
3)704 – The Incredible Melting Man – Segment 4: Focus Group. All of the segments here are great too, especially crow as the director (JUDY, what am I doing?!), but Clay’s focus group takes the cake, especially when he starts asking seemingly pointless questions. I would have loved to see some sketches based on this terrible movie, this makes up for it.
4)705 – Escape 2000 – Segment 5: Dablone Saves Pearl. In an episode filled with sketches in which the SOL is lit on fire, how could I choose this one? I mean, Crow sets the satellite on fire twice. Twice. But when Dablone shows up, filling the world with laughter, everything is alright.
5)706 – Laserblast – ALL. Laserblast is an incredible episode. The movie is perfect for the treatment, with stupid characters, ridiculous effects, and meandering plots that go nowhere. The riffs are great as well. But the story, wrapping up the CC years, is what is best about it. Forrester’s fate, as well as that of the SOL, is all really well-told. Of course,the best sketch is Mike as Janeway, because it’s just so damn creepy, but I personally love everyone picking on the Monad satellite. His cries of pain at being shot out the airlock are hilarious.
Least favorite? Not the Tom Dewey sketch. I love that one. I love the Thunderdome prologue as well (Mike’s cries of agony are great). Probably Timmy Bobby Rusty. Just not funny. I get it, but not that funny. Paul Chaplin is too creepy for that.
As usual, in no particular order:
Pearl Makes Dr. F Apologize (701): Trace really threw himself into the newly, continually-cowed, Dr. F. One of these sketches that’s hilarious because 1) it contains something painful that resonates with us, and 2) it’s not happening to us.
Pearl Is Sick/Clownburger (703): If there’s one situation in which Dr. F used to be at his most dominant, it was when introducing the week’s movie. But between Pearl’s whining (props to Mary Jo for hitting the right note of being annoying without annoying US) and M&tB’s disrespectful non-sequiturs… Dr. F is hilariously beyond all hopes of controlling the situation.
Principal Photography on “Earth vs. Soup” (704): I may be alone in feeling most of the sketches from this episode are funny on concept, but not very amusingly pulled off. I liked this one, though, with Crow simultaneously haughty and in way, way over his head.
Monad (706): I enjoy M&tB’s ham-handed attempts to pull a Kirk on Monad, and Monad’s increasing distress. Favorite part: Monad complains that Mike’s “logical paradox” is just a fib.
Edge of the Universe (706): Not really funny, per se, but somehow, it never fails to raise goosebumps with me. The Brains nail a positive but somewhat unsettling tone of our heroes casting off their physical forms and going off into the unknown, possibly forever. What an odd, odd end this would have made for the series.
Least Favorite: I think I’ll go for the (un)popular choice, Lay Down Your Head, Tom Dewey (702). Kind of a precursor of a sketch type that would become way too common in the next three years: a single questionably funny idea beaten into the ground, with us expected to laugh at how lame it all is.
701 – Night of the Blood Beast – Dr. F being forced to “confess” for…something.
702 – Brute Man – Crow being put in charge while Pearl’s off on her date. I love Mike’s childish reaction, in particular his poking at and finally enraging Crow.
704 – Incredible Melting Man – all the “Earth vs Soup” movie-making segments. Sorry, folks, I enjoyed them.
705 – Escape 2000 – the Guy’s Night segment on the SOL. Crow’s bemusement is wonderful, as is Tom getting quietly sick in the background.
706 – The last segment on Deep 13, the parody of “2001 a Space Odyssey.” Well done!
There is only one episode of MST3K were i enjoyed all the host segments equally and it’s 704-The incredible melting man. As to my knowledge, MST had never attacked Hollywood and movie executives so directly like that before and i think they pull it off swimingly. The rage and anger from their own movie mishaps is palpable but the writing and acting take it to a whole another level. Trace really shines in this episode as both the skits with Clay at the focus group and Crow as a director kill me every time. Also, i should mention that i enjoy the “beyond Thunderdome” skit in Laserblast because I ACTUALLY got to use it one time. I usually make small MST references in conversations with people (my favorite is doing Kevin’s “Wha Happa?”) but when someone mentioned Thunderdome, the line slipped out and i hardly realized. Two seconds later, i started geeking out that I got to use it and explained to everyone where it came from…thusly boring everyone who happened to be smoking cigerettes outside at my party.
My favorites:
The “Earth vs. Soup sells” segments – I liked these even before I knew what they were really about.
The Tom Dewey sketch – I thought it was fun for them to do a sort of reductionist version of one of their typical premises.
Beyond Thunderdome – Mike isn’t trying very hard to get loose – maybe he actually likes the Beyond Thunderdome joke?
The Monad satellite – “I’ll give you a mulligan on that one.”
Mike is Kate Mulgrew from Star Trek – a tour de force.
Worst:
“Clayyyyyton! Clayyyyyton!” It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
1. 701 Night of Blood Beast – Crow’s “pregnancy” of peel-and-eat shrimp was both a great riff on the movie and a terrific example of Crow’s wild misconceptions of humanity.
2. 702 The Brute Man – Okay, okay, I liked the Tom Dewey bit. But you must understand…as the Dooley affair happened here, it’s pretty much state law that all North Carolinians must learn the words to “Tom Dooley” at some point in their education. So any time it can be made fun of, no matter how trite, we are firmly behind it.
3. 705 Escape 2000 – Crow’s continuous starting of fires on the SOL. Any oppertunity for the Bots to panic equals hilarity.
4. & 5. 706 Laserblast – Yeah, I’m going to use my last two spots for the Mike as Janeway sketch, everyone becoming pure, and the final bits with Dr. Forrester. As funny as it is, this episode is still a bit bittersweet to me because for a while, it was the end. And even though MST continued on and I enjoyed the new Crow, Trace Beaulieu always has a special place in my heart.
Worst sketch: “Claaaaayton!” Oh, Pearl, how little we knew you then.
Aaaaah, season 7. The underappreciated, underrepresented season 7. I actually thought this season was spot on both in and out of the theater. I’m sure others have mentioned mine, but here goes:
-The meeting with producers who couldn’t possibly care less from 704. Pearl and Clay’s stubborn disinterest in the picture they’re supposed to be nursing along (and in fact all the host segments related to the making of “Earth vs. Soup” are dynamite) is just great.
-It’s really two, but the Renfest stuff from 703. I understand how a sane person might get a kick out of dressing up and pretending to be in another era (heck look at historic reenactments done ’round the country) but to make people pay through the nose for the dubious “privilege” of WATCHING you do it is stupid. Good job folks.
-Mr. Mystie Burger (is this together?) from 703. Not only do they keep Dr. F confused, they skewer (rightfully so) the fast food “meal deals” that try to get you to eat more.
-And again, from 703, the Ring forging skit. Something for the Tokien fans. Of course, now EVERYONE gets it (or THINKS they do) so I feel somewhat less special.
-The Phone Song from the regular version of 701. As senseless as the short it parodied.
-And finally, the Monad Sattelite from 706. Sadly, I feel this episode is a much better send off than the eventual series finale a few years later.
Least favorite: Hmmm. That’s hard, but probably Servo trying to experience the miracle of chicken birth. It’s still pretty funny, but something’s gotta be at the bottom of the list, right?
I was hoping to come up with ten or twelve, bot I only have…
701 The Thanksgiving Turkey day special with Jack Perkins and many others from previous episodes as the guests.
702 Mike plots yet another escape by calling an old girlfriend who doesn’t want anything to do with any of it.
704 The Focus Group parody is good satire.
706 The 2001 parody at the end is pretty amusing.
Season Seven was funny and I still loved the show and never missed it, but the strain of losing great cast members, being canceled and having the bad experience with making the MST3K movie really showed in some places.
I never thought the interaction between Pearl and Dr. F in Season Seven worked well at all. The fact is that it was hilarious when Dr. F was evil toward Frank, but that wouldn’t have worked well at all with Mary Jo as the sidekick and the reverse dynamic they created for the new pairing was one of the weakest elements I think in the full 10 year network history of the show.
While there were some extremely funny host segments after Joel left the show in the middle of Season Five, I never thought they were as consistent in host segment quality after that, with a lot of hit and miss, whereas in general before Joel left I found that host segments were pretty much 99% dead on. Fortunately, being picked up by Sci-Fi Channel after Season Seven did seem to lift the spirits and creative juices of the cast and crew and that translated into better consistency than seemed to be present in Season Seven.
Hmm. In no particular order…
1. Night of the Blood Beast (701) – I’m going to have to go with Stuffing vs. Potatoes. It’s just such a zany, off the wall, quick-witted sketch, it cracks me up every time.
2. Brute Man (702) – Mrs. Forrester has a date and leaves Crow in charge. Everything from Sandy’s “Pearl, you look… hugghhhhh” to the babysitter bit is comedic brilliance.
Mike: Crow
Crow: Shut up!
Mike: Crow
Crow: Shut up!
Gypsy: Crow
Crow: You… may live.
Gypsy: Thank you.
Crow: Shut up!
3. Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell (703) – Crow’s “techno-weave.” I still use “Hello, fellows” when greeting my co-workers.
4. Escape 2000 (705) – Toblerone shows up in Deep 13. “I’ve heard of a Jack in the Box, but I’ve never heard of a Lady in the Box! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
5. Laserblast (706) – Can’t we just get beyond Thunderdome? This bit was not one of my favorites, until I got a chance to actually use it. And then, it shot to the top of awesomeness.
Honorable Mention – Mike in drag. Awesome.
Least Favorite: I’m going to go with the Star Babies bit. Something about it just doesn’t even crack a smile. Thankfully, it’s made up by the terrific rest of the episode.
Sounds like we all agree on the Mike-in-drag segment. My favorite single line of all of Season Six is, “Mr. Gypsy, you’re with me.” Mike tosses it off exactly the way Kate Mulgrew would have. It’s the essence of MST3K, in my opinion: an utterly absurd idea sustained by sheer talent into something approaching credibility.
After the brilliance of the season 6 host segments, things took a dramatic turn for the worst in the shortened season 7.
I enjoyed the movie making spoofs in 704 a lot, and there were some funny bits in the Turkey Day host segments of 701, but the rest of the season might was well be the Sci-Fi era as far as the host segments. At least the riffing was still good for the most part.
So it was a focus group that suggested trimming MST3K: TM down to a Saturday morning length cartoon. They actually used FOCUS GROUPS on MST3K: TM. Was ONE PERSON in the group even familiar with the show, or did the movie studio comb the streets of Minsk in search of old derelicts with puke breath and soiled trousers? I got your focus group down here, Hollywood!
Randy
Never. Do Anything. Nice. And. Easy!
The shortened Season 7 has always represented a strange mix of good and bad memories for me. By only signing the show for six episodes, it was clear CC wanted nothing more to do with them. The episodes were not played much, since they came out in the late summer of ’96, and the network’s contract with BB was done by the end of that year. Furthermore, it seemed CC was doing everything in its power to play the episodes at inconvienent times. MST3K:TM was somewhat of a disappointment; although many of its reviews were above-average, us die-hard fans all knew it could have been better if it weren’t for the nimrods in Hollywood putting their own moronic spin to it.
On the positive, news of the show’s arrival to the Sci-Fi Channel came as a pleasant surprise; there had been a long struggle involving both BB and the fans to appeal to SFC to pick up the show, and there was some doubt it would happen. Even as the show was winding down on CC, the SFC was promoting its newest show with many commercials and even an “At Home” version of MST3K where people e-mailed their comments live over a typically bad Roger Corman movie being played.
I will always give BB the benefit of being drained by the Hollywood process, as reasons why these episodes aren’t on the same level of comedic excellence as seasons 3-6. There are afew gems , though:
702: Brute Man- Mike calling his ex-g/f, and then dealing with her heavy-breathing and incoherent child, is something both funny and resonant; we’ll all been there!
703: Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell: the Renaissance festival sketches are humorous, and illustrate why you couldn’t PAY me to go to one of those.
704: The Incredible Melting Man- Dr. F with the “focus” group was not only funny, but was a clever way of slaying the demons caused by the making of MST3K:TM
705: Escape 2000- Mike Nelson as Toblerone…is there anything this man CAN’T put a comic twist on? Another brilliant performance!
706: Laserblast- the ending is flawless; forget M&TB becoming pure energy, paying homage to “2001”-arguably the greatest movie of all time- with Forrester pointing to a monolith of “The Worst Movie of All Time” and then turning into a star child is why these guys are the best in my book. (Accidental callback to Pod People on that, sorry!)
Worst: and I’ll get grief for this, but Mike as Kate Mulgrew’s character from Star Trek just didn’t do it for me. Men-in-drag bits have been overdone, and the fact that I might be the only MSTie that’s not a fan of the whole Star Trek saga doesn’t help. So I guess I answered my own question on whether or not Mike could perform anything funny…. :roll:
hey excellent post, really enjoyed it. I’ve added your blog to my netvibes account – will be keeping up with your posts!
