Ten films were aired on both MST3K (the official version) & The CBS Late Movie: Moon Zero Two, The Black Scorpion, Cave Dwellers (Ator, the Blade Master,) Mitchell, Code Name: Diamond Head, Parts: The Clonus Horror, The Pumaman, It Lives By Night (The Bat People,) Avalanche & Ator, the Fighting Eagle. Three other films were shared by the CBS Late Movie & the Minneapolis season of MST3K: SST-Death Flight, Superdome & City on Fire.

[@Ryanmo97]

The Giant Spider Invasion also aired on The CBS Late Movie according to Wikipedia.

[@WPPCProductions]

I believe they aired the 1978 TV movie Fire in the Sky with Richard Crenna, Elizabeth Ashley and Joanna Miles even though it was originally aired on NBC.. I remember staying up and watching it.

🎶 Pumaman, oh when will he find love... 🎶

[@Misfit_Kitten]

"Are pumas really known for their whining?" At least Donald Pleasance had some fun with his role.

[@wmbrown6]

From what I read in IMDb, he would later look back at / on this as the worst film he ever did.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

​@@wmbrown6Figures! 😂

[@PIXPromosMore]

Even Un-riffed, he STILL Flies like a Moron

[@spacedog12345]

Fun fact: Puma Man has the power to rear-project major cities.

[@dukerichards2158]

Obviously there are a lot of MSTies here 😁

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

I am one too!

[@damin9913]

I miss 1980s tv commercials and promos they were magical 😢

[@jacktorrance2633]

I enjoyed the bumpers and the commercials more than the movie. I was 15 in 1985 and this is a great time capsule.

[@tammydownes2413]

Me too!!! It was a good time to grow up!!! I still love Burger King!

[@blackphoenix77]

CBS Late Night was how I discovered this film. I don't know if I saw this original broadcast or a repeat, however. And of course I saw the MST3K version in the 1990s on Comedy Central. "We're downsizing, Carl."

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

You the one that’s been writing anti-Aztec stuff on the bathroom wall? Pumaman! I am ordering you! I am ordering you! A fajita! Is that okay?

[@syferdet]

“They tried to resell this as a Hallmark Special when it didn’t get a theatrical release.”

"Man! These walnuts are great!"

That music really does put you mind of advertisements.

I used to love watching the late movie.

[@wilsonbobcatservice4151]

U always upload great movies. Luv the commercials. And the network intro.

Here it is, the infamous Pyooma Man, made famous by MST3k with the great defenestration scene!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

"Gets red out, selection and service!"

[@syferdet]

10:05 “The new Big Bird Actionwear” That’s the color of those B-B-Bats Taffy candies.

[@HouMat-if5fi]

The best part of this movie is definitely the commericals.

At Wahl Drug we're busting up prices...

[@dootuss83]

He flies like a Moron. 😆😆😆😆

[@moretoknowshow1887]

It’s Pew-Ma-Man, let’s get that right folks! Also: Cotton Candy, made in my hometown of Dallas. Shocked that hasn’t been riffed yet!!

[@WPPCProductions]

Missed these late night movies and Columbo .100 percent better then the current late rubbish on TV now. WCBS NYC used too run the Late Late Movie after this.

Pumas have instinctive knowledge of wiring and home construction.

I've seen this on mystery science theater 3000, good bad flicks, and so bad it's good. This movie has been made fun of several times.

[@darrylh1971]

This could have been a unsold TV show pilot.

[@moretoknowshow1887]

It has that feeling…

Who ya gonna get to riff your tracks?

The woman is the bait. The house is a trap. 😂

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

I've never understood the concept of a movie billing someone as a "Guest Star" or "Special Guest Star." That seems decidedly like a designation only for television; a vanity/ego boosting gold star sticker for actors who can no longer snag movie roles.

[@wmbrown6]

Clearly stolen from Quinn Martin. Benny Hill parodied that kind of opening credit sequence in some of his sketches.

[@stanistevens]

@@wmbrown6 At the end of Benny Hill's "Murder on the Oregon Express", he announces "This has been a Quinn Marton, Barton, Harton, Larton and Fargo Production!"

[@wmbrown6]

@@stanistevens - Yep. He put 'em all through the ringer! But, I mean . . . "Extra-Special Co-Guest Star." That's how ridiculous that sort of thing got.

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

@@wmbrown6 I had forgotten that Benny did that! His humor was sharp as a razor spot on.

I think it is Patricia Richardson (the mother on Home Improvement) in the vitamin ad.

12:02 How'd they find a whole gang of Andy Sambergs in 1985? (or is it Andys Samberg?)

[@awkwardboy]

0:20 and fish too!

[@mesasavage]

The movie sucks balls, but I'm digging the commercials! Its amazing how many I remember from my childhood after no seeing them for 40 years.
