then moved over to the Sci-Fi Channel. It ran for 10 years with a lot
of cult fans to include myself and my husband! We got the boys hooked
on it too. I like the show with Mike Nelson! He is on a spaceship
called rhe Satellite of Love with a crew of bots(robots). The bots are
Tom Servo, Crow, and Gypsy. Mike and Tom and Crow sit in a theatre on
the ship aka Movie Sign and watch really bad scifi movies and comment
on the movie while watching it. Tons of one liners and jokes! The
reason why they sit through these movies is to make them brain dead to
the point of easy mind control by Pearl Forrester. Evil woman who
wants to rule the universe along with her co-horts Brain Guy and a
Planet of the Apes type of Ape! Loads of fun to watch and if you get
the SciFi Channel, they are on Saturday morning, here on the east
coast usually at 9:30am. But it is worth while to check out, they have
great skits and really dumb movies to razz! Just wanting to add my
input on Mystery Science Theater 3000! They also had a movie out a few
years back, where they had fun with This Planet Earth! We got the
video and really like acting out with the crew of the Satellite of Love!

This is my claim to MST3K fame:

Kevin Murphy (aka Tom Servo and ape guy) and I share the same
birthday. I sent a birthday greeting to his e-mail some years ago
(during the Comedy Central years) and he answered!  I still have it
saved on my hard drive.

I also contributed 5 bucks to buy a quilt for Julie Walker, former
Info Club Poobah, who left the show at the same time Trace did
(original Crow and Dr. Forrester).

This makes me important.  Really.
