Like in 320- The Unearthly when some of the host segments are devoted to explaining/appreciating her role on the ship. Tom: This is the story of a robot named Crow. Can you guess what Crow is thinking? Crow is thinking hard- or as hard as he can think, anyway- about how the satellite got so darn clean. It wasn’t clean this morning. Think hard now, Crow. Think really hard, you poor dope. Scan that scrap heap you call a brain and try to find some piteous shred of thought-Crow: Hey! Knock it off!Tom: Oh, sorry. Ahem. Ah yes, there it is. Who does these things when we’re too lazy; too bloated on dinners of rich food and generous portions of our own gargantuan ego? Who debugs the massive computer control center because our own enfeebled brains can barely add fractions? Who provides the warm, inviting water in which you bathe your filthy, oil-stained carcass? Who goes on mindbendinly dangerous missions outside in the cold, black void of unforgiving space; while you sit inside, cozy as Alistair Cooke, sipping cocoa and watching Tiny Toons? Pinch yourself hard, Mr. Robot, you deserve it! You think you’re all sunshine and goodness, but you’re nothing but the dirt between the toes of an evil troll! That’s right! Who periodically changes the plutonium rods in the nuclear reactor deep in the bowls of the ship; while you feast on gooey handfuls of fiddle-faddle and play hopscotch and marbles and it’s spring and the little goat-footed...Anyone know how that ends?

I'm curious. In Hercules and the Capive Women, where did Gypsy sit in the theater?

Gypsy also came into the theater briefly in another episode. I think it was the one where she was having a crisis of some kind. She only popped her head in to say "Richard Basehart?" after a Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea riff. I'm having trouble remembering which episode it was.

That's the one. I had it narrowed down to that and two others. I need a new brain.

And Tom and Gypsy did go on a date (never mind that it went horribly). The only other examples that come to mind this late at night are: Eegah when Gypsy gives Joel the anastethetic and Crow growls stuggestivly as she leaves. Sinister Urge The second host segment, I think, when they're acting like old time cops, and Crow tries (unsucessfully) to hook up with her. I'm sure there are others I've missed, but it's midnight, I'm in pain, and I need to go to bed. It was wonderfully adorable when the boys were so possessive of her in Wild Rebels, so much so that they'd gang up on their creator over it. I guess in a sense they are all siblings, but it mostly depends on how you want to look at it. I tend to skip that whole debate in my fanfics and have Tom and Gypsy get married and build a couple of bot children- Marvin and Bonnie; and be working on a third- Richard Jr. G'night. I'm not sure that the Sinister Urge and Wild Rebels bits you mentioned are good examples. In both cases, I think the bots were acting...Crow's old timey cop character hits on Gypsy's secretary character because, well, that's what the cop character would do in those old timey cop shows. And in the Wild Rebels sketch, J&TB were acting out the scene from the movie where Rod (Joel) serenades Linda (Gypsy), then gets ruffed up by the male WR's (Crow and Servo).

Another Gypsy moment I liked was after M&TB sing the "Toobular Boobular Joy" song, she comes in and goes "Say, guys, how's the movie?!?" This, of course, is just to give them an excuse to start singing the song again, but I like the way Gypsy gets the facial express just right, and then bobs her head as they start singing again.

Yeah, when they go into the theater after the Wild Rebels segment, they say something about "I'm glad we cheered up Gypsy," suggesting it was all a skit. I'd say the Sinister Urge bit was in-character too.

Who couldn't love Gypsy!? She's got a way about her. Now that Mike, Joel & TB are all on Earth, I wonder if Gypsy's enjoying finally being able to sit in on the crappy movies...

I just watched that again, and Gypsy is so cute with glasses on.
