It's probably one of those episodes stuck in legal limbo, but I'd love a DVD issue of "The Incredible Melting Man". Not only is the film itself brilliant ("HOTCHKA!"), but the host segments (Crow's "Earth vs. Soup" script gets optioned) are hilarious, and doubtlessly inspired by the making and marketing of "MST3K: The

Yeah, but Terry G also did "Tideland" too.

NO. Everything each of them have done since Graham' s passing (aside from Michael's travel shows) has flat-out sucked. This is the worst idea since The Bonzo Dog Band tried to record without Vivian Stanshall. Someone get them to start arguing again or have them demand more money than anyone is willing to pay them.

So many great songs … "If And When It Falls Apart", "Regenisraen", "Last Day That We're Young", "Inverness", "I'm Not Really A Spring", etc.

FUN TIMES ACCOMPLISHED

Does anyone else remember "Helmet Head", with Rob Lowe? I'm not sure if it was towards the end of the show or not, but I haven't seen it since it originally aired.

There's also Neil Young's "Human Highway", if anyone saw that.

Another moment from the Malcolm McDowell episode that I swear was on the original broadcast that didn't appear in the reruns: McDowell dressed as Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" doing a PSA for milk. I didn't just imagine it, did I? Does anyone else recall seeing that?

I completely forgot until now that Mark McKinney was on that season too. Why hire talented people and then give them nothing to work with?

I think they all hated Berle by the time they actually went on air. If Bill Murray hadn't dropped a metal pipe backstage during Berle's interminable opening monologue, Uncle Miltie would probably have kept going for another week. If I recall correctly, it was the only episode never licensed for syndication. I can see

Not only were Janeane Garofalo and Chris Elliot pretty much given nothing in particular to do, but I can recall Laura Kightlinger being mentioned as a featured player in the opening credits but apparently doesn't seem to have appeared in more than maybe three sketches the entire season.
Also, I think that may have been

The best post-Joel episode? "The Incredible Melting Man" - not just for the film itself ("HOTCHKA!"), but also for the host segments that tied in neatly with the making (and un-making) of the MST3K Movie, as Crow's not-awaited "Earth vs. Soup" is picked up by a major studio.
