Seasons 2-4 are gold-level storytelling. Just great, low-key character drama, thoughtful and mature, and able to interweave the intensity of the setting into some truly stellar television.

I always like it when parent roles are filled by people who really do like they could be kid’s parent.

[flying over Chicago] “Hey, you can see the Cubs losing!”

There are so many amazing lines from this, and several have made their way into the lexicon of my marriage. Servo imitating Cal saying “RUUUTH” in his deep voice is one of them.

Well look at that!!  Breach hull, all die!!  Even had it underlined twice!!

“Whoopdie shit” killed me for whatever reason.
Then there’s Crow attacking the hull with a pick axe while singing “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary”

Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby!

“I hope you slept well, Dr. Meecham” “Because it’s time to die.”

‘It’s the Brak show starring me, I’m Brak!’

I’m gonna climb in his sock drawer and sleep for days.

The whole credits sequence is one knockout riff after another:

“Industry. Science and Technology! Big men putting screw drivers into things! Turning them, and adjusting them!”

Place your hands above the rails. They’re magnetized.

“Ha, my wife could use one of these around the house!”

I have not seen the movie in years but the whole “Why, this isn’t paper, it’s some kind of metal.”  “No sir, that’s paper.”  Sticks with me and still makes me laugh.

Some of their best riffs were actually them riffing on their own credits.

“Its the amazing Rando!”
“Puppet handlers? There’s no puppets in this movie.”
“Watch Rando the magician construct sets with his very mind!”
“We’d like to thank the people of St. Paul who are, in order, Anderson A...”
“Eastman! He came out of the east…

“When in California be sure to visit beautiful- oh.”

Great lines from this that I still remember:

I dated a couple of women in open marriages so I got to see the phenomenon first hand. It was...interesting.
