That's OK Eli, I stare in wild wonder over any music or cultural references past....oh......1975. Any modern cultural refences in the form of humor spead right over my head!

The episode is average, but it has this nice, happy feeling about it that brings you back every time. . . . Is this just me? Oh, of course it is.

It can get frustrating when you're watching an episode, like oh say..."Manos" and they keep doing close-ups of the Master and Joel says a name, "Bill Buckner?" I'm sure it would be funny if I knew what it meant!

That the same with me, and I've been noticing it more and more. It's so esoteric to you, you almost feel left out.
*sigh*. If only I was 40-something.

Bill Buckner was the first baseman for the Red Sox (and a few other teams) known for blowing the '86 World Series.

This MST show was pretty funny at times, but, MAN!.....Why did Joel and the 'bots make so many negative "white people" jokes? [glow=red,2,300]Because we dance lame & have no soul!!![/glow] I never saw this episode until the DVD came out. I love the riffs on Little Richard. His tweaked little eyes look like they're about to roll back into his skull! The rest of the ep is just so-so to me. Even Servo's "Creepy Girl" vibe kinda runs out of juice after a while. Grade: B-

CC is one of my all time favs. It is one of those great feel good eps.
Also is very colorful. Little Richard is great and I there is much eye candy to boot!

These kids today and thier loud video games,,,sigh.... AND GET YOUR BUTTS OUT AND VOTE! The MST3K writers for the most part were born in the early 1960s - and the riffs reflect that. But there are liberal references to cultural icons before that era. Read. Watch old movies. Learn. It wouldn't be MST3K if the cultural base of knowledge is exclusively from 1990 onward. -Alleged (who will be 36 next month, but knows who Phil Harris is).
