Episodes With Unique/Unusual Theater Segments

[wilkins]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile a list of all episodes with unusual or unique theater segments. That is, theater segments that deviate from the norm of Tom Servo, Joel/Mike, and Crow sitting at the bottom right and entering and exiting normally.

Here's what I have so far:

Major Changes:

412 - Hercules And The Captive Women: Gypsy in the theater
416 - Fire Maidens Of Outer Space: Timmy in the theater, attacks Tom Servo
611 - Last of the Wild Horses: Dr. F and Frank in the theater
816 - Prince Of Space: Puppet Mike in the theater
821 - Time Chasers: Mike's brother Eddie in the theater
913 - Quest of the Delta Knights: Pearl in the theater

Minor Things:

110 - Robot Holocaust: Film breaks, Joel comes near Cambot to fix it
202 - The Sidehackers: Cambot's scoreboard
505 - The Magic Voyage Of Sinbad: Crow leaves theater early, then flies into theater without most of his head
613 - The Sinister Urge: Bomb shakes theater
705 - Escape 2000: Crow exits theater and returns with guitar
815 - Agent For H.A.R.M.: Mike pops into theater after Tom and Crow enter
821 - Time Chasers: Observer's news report

(BTW, I'm not counting the KTMA episodes. I know there were a lot of variations in some of those shows, mostly due to cast availability.)

Truth be told, I actually haven't seen that many episodes, so there's probably something I'm forgetting or just plain don't know about. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Season 10's "Future War", during the credits, Mike goes in back with various small props to demonstrate forced perspective.

Crow: "Is this because Joel stopped by earlier?"

Thanks! Added one to my list:

505 - The Magic Voyage Of Sinbad: Crow leaves theater early, then flies into theater without most of his head

What about in Soultaker, when the nude scene came on Crow got something in his eye. Does that count, because it seems unusual.

Crow and Mike both leave the theater in the final segment of INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN, leaving poor Tom to fend off the film by himself.

I think it's HIGH SCHOOL BIG SHOT that has the giant, dumb Servo riffing for a few moments. There's another episode (RIDING WITH DEATH, maybe?) that has Servo as a Toaster Strudel (brilliant!) riffing on a portion of the film.

And I don't know if this qualifies, but in WILD, WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN, Mike brings a bowl of popcorn into the theater (in fact, I think he leaves and comes back with it during the credits). The Bots make a big deal out of it, so it certainly seems pretty unique.

Thanks, guys. I'm adding all of these to my "to watch" list. For some reason, I really get a kick out of the episodes with "different" theater segments. Please keep 'em coming (if there's any more).

BTW, I looked it up and the ep. with the toaster strudel is 818 - Devil Doll.

Episode 618- High School Big shot -- Giant Mutant Dumb Servo
Episode 816- Prince Of Space -- Robotic Mike
Episode 818- Devil Doll -- Tom Servo's soul transferred into a toaster strudel

Summer Blockbuster Review 1998 - Pearl Forrester, Observer and Bobo

Thanks for that, exactly the kind of thing I was looking for!

Exp#601-Girls' Town

Fat Tom Servo after "honor system candy" host segment.

I don't see it mentioned, but wasn't it "Future War" that had Mike using a toy triceratops and a wrench and stuff to demonstrate forced perspective in the theater? And then a giant Servo appears at the end and scares him away, IIRC.

[Emperor Cupcake]

Oh shoot, just noticed that brandonakaxerxes posted this upthread. Observation fail.

[BJ]

Wasn't there an early episode with Joel holding up props right in front of the screen, similar to Mike's forced perspective scene? Maybe I'm making that up in my head.

There's the opening of City Limits where Joel holds up the umbrella to hide the nudity.

In High School Big Shot, Mike chucks Servo across the room for singing Chris DeBurgh.

[CBG]

He also holds up cue cards for "Dr. Bellows" in Exp109-Project Moonbase.

And "BAM" "POW" captions during a serial short whose title escapes my memory at this moment.

[wilkins]

All good ones. I'll also add Bear Crow in "Jack Frost" (though that's more of a minor change) to the list, since I just watched that one the other day.

[CBG]

Yeah, that was a question I had for you.

I was going to do a similar list awhile back, but was keeping it limited to "physical" changes in the "shadowrama lineup". IE: Servo, Joel/Mike, Crow. Additions(Another in theater), substitutions (Puppet Mike), "flips" (Wild Horses). I kinda figured you were looking for the same. N'est-ce pas?
