Here lately, I've been going to sleep with the sounds of Joel and the bots riffing on the Tommy Kirk classic: "Catalina Caper." Then I realized that I tend to throw Catalina Caper in when I need a real pick me up.
When I was stuck in a graveyard shift watching an abandoned lot many years ago, I had that episode on my portable DVD player at least once every night.
It always makes me feel better. It's so lighthearted and warm and the riffing really pops for me.
So what is yours? do you have an episode that you throw in when you need to get out of the funk? Is there one you put on and let it lull you to sleep?

I have a few. Teenage Strangler is one. It's one of those episodes that can lift me up.

I really enjoy Werewolf, it always makes me laugh. It's just so stupid, and the riffing is totally top notch

Eegah! always cheers me, its perfect for rainy day chores around the house. Others that perk me up are Skydivers, The Creeping Terror, Horror At Party Beach, and Manos. They're like that old freind you're always happy to run into.

Switcher, you are one sick puppy. Mine would be The Rebel Set. Something about it hits that right nerve of watchability, great riffing, and fun host segments. A lot of the writing in that episode falls into the "they wrote it just for me" category. |

My two are Agent Double 007 and San Francisco International. I'm a sucker for spies and airplanes, the riffs are wonderful, and the movies are watchable on their own. There's something lighthearted about both episode (especially 007: "I KNOW") and they both leave me feeling giddy.
I agree with Mr. A that a lot of the writing in those episodes seem written just for me. . .silly riffs like GET SUZY WONG, "I'm Ziggy Stardust!" and every rip on David Hartmann kills me. As a kid my father hated, HATED David Hartmann, so maybe that explains it.

Only recently watched [glow=red,2,300]The Creeping Terror[/glow] for the first time and it sat in my DVD player for weeks. After completely absorbing it, I would then play it from the start and let it lull me to sleep, with a smile on my face  The narrator, the sound of his voice, the ultra-square way he talks, makes me feel all cozy and snug in my blanket. Love when the bride attempts to inject her 2 cents and Mike quickly chimes in "honey no"  The creature is just so silly .....and dopey......let's throw in goofy while we're at it......and clumsy.........and, just in general, a threat to NO ONE, unless you're from the 50's and are prohibited from retreating from giant rubber and cloth beings. But yeah, [glow=green,2,300]Creeping Terror[/glow] constitutes an absolute feel-good movie for me and something to put me to sleep with only pleasant thoughts |

Probably Boggy Creek. It's not my favorite episode, but it's solid all around, and it's kind of my go-to. I think I've seen it more than any other at this point.

True-blue eps for me include "I Accuse My Parents," "Red Zone Cuba," and "Danger! Death Ray."
Others come and go, and some of my absolute favorites don't get the play so much anymore because I know them too well. If I need cheering up I require some surprises.

Just watched Magic Voyage of Sinbad from the new set, and I could always get a laugh from that one. Also, I Accuse My Parents and Tormented, maybe Teenagers from Outer Space and Eegah. Day the Earth Froze is also good for a chuckle. Escape 2000, Creeping Terror, Incredible Melting Man, Blood Beast and Timechasers come to mind as well. There are lots. I just have to be in the right mood for them and not overwatch any of them. After a break from certain ones, they go back to being feel-good, fun eps. Manos, Gunslinger, Daddy-O, Mitchell...the list goes on. The show itself is just a feel-good experience for me and always a good mood lifter. It's a safe drug. |
