these epps are so precious. everyone is so young, still developing as characters, unaware of the fame and fortune about to overtake them

Fame, at least.

[@MrShigura]

Aka: these episodes are bad.

[@douglasjohnson4382]

I would watch this over the Super Bowl any day.

[@sillygoose420]

i find it cute that the "la la la" part of the theme evolved later on

[@AdamWestish]

it's fun to go from the very beginning and watch it all develop from mostly just crow and gypsy, who became cambot and then another version became the new gypsy, and watch cambot evolve too. the last seasons in netflix were pretty slick i heard

[@gulleyfoyle6859]

@@AdamWestish yeah cambot used to be a whole crazy-looking robot behind a camera before he evolved into that sort of eye thing! you can tell the passion seeped out of the seamsin the early episodes

[@AdamWestish]

@@gulleyfoyle6859 yeah the show requires lots of passion in order to function. I think my favorite episodes are really hard to order because each time I see one I didn't know about I am swearing to myself, "no _this_ is my favorite episode!" But for some reason "Mitchell" always comes up but the other week I saw an early Joel episode that gave me a hernia laughing.

[@gulleyfoyle6859]

@@AdamWestish it's between Space Mutiny and Manos for my favorite, but its hard to pick because they're all good.

[@WayWardWonderer]

I love Tom Servo's head breaking off and Joel repairing the damage with duct tape! Should've been used as a joke again during the show's Comedy Central run!

[@amohotepv]

+KTAVERILL they do. Crow falls apart because he was frozen, and Joel fixes him by using clothes pins to hold the pieces together.

[@AdamWestish]

Crow was also melted by the Thawmaster, and Servo's head was blossomed and served with a delicious peppercorn sauce, also Mike suki-"yummied" Crow's claw while chopping vegetables and making shrimp "pudding"

[@ambergruszeczka4549]

omg I've never seen the K episodes...they're adorable

[@BryonYoungblood]

Especially since you can tell that Joel and the guys involved had a lot of fun with what resources they had going for them.

[@TheBeteljuice]

I've been a passionate Misty since the early part of the latter half of the pre windows 95 era of the 90's. Passionate. I have never before seen a K episode. So crude. So primitive. Mind. Blown.

[@kyosballerina7701]

I love how often they laugh at each other's jokes. Also Tom Servo was top-notch in this one.

[@BlackMasterRoshi]

it becomes more rare as the show progresses, but it's always good when it happens. or when they just burst out laughing at a scene in the movie with no commentary needed.

[@waynemanortokyo]

No matter the visual quality (budget) of the season, the theme song always kicked ass!

[@AvengerII]

Definitely sounds like the original version of the theme was sung by Joel himself. It doesn't have the "la, la" that was added later. The theme definitely got re-recorded by different guys (I'm guessing Joel didn't re-record with him doing the lead vocals in the later version(s)) with extra words and chants/refrains like "la, la" added in.

[@jeffwhite7158]

Got nostalgia for MST3K, and then this episode gave me nostalgia for the Banana Splits! Nostalgia within Nostalgia!

[@dapperdonny4051]

The was the last of a series of 4 feature length TV-Movies edited from the series of Space:1999 Year Two episodes The Metamorph and Space Warp. This was an absurd policy of creator Gerry Anderson and ITC New York President Abe Mandell, to splice and edit episodes of Space:1999 and other ITC TV series he had produced for theatrical release or for broadcast in markets that were not broadcasting the series. The first was Destination: Moonbase Alpha edited from the second series two-parter The Bringers of Wonder. Second was Alien Attack edited from the first season opener BreakAway with War Games. Third was Journey Through the Black Sun edited from Collision Course and The Black Sun. Alien Attack retained all footage from both episodes omitting the opening and closing credits. Journey Through The Black Sun was heavily edited. The 8 episodes utilized (4 from the first series and 4 from the second) were removed from the syndication packages to avoid view confusion.

[@gallaxian]

Thanks. I’ve seen the Space 1999 t.v. series but was confused by the unfamiliar opening to this “film”.

[@dorpth]

The corridor sequence is STILL the most technically impressive thing to air on public access!

[@amohotepv]

Sweet Lord Lucifer and all the Kings of Hell, I don't know what's more shocking, the robot designs and overall quality, or Joel's haircut.

This show was good from beginning to end, and I miss it terribly.

[@dallasdelay3468]

This was an epic show back in the day. Nice of the Satellite of love to send it up.

[@antonymous23]

One could say that the early episodes are bad(from a production/technical point of view), but after having watched virtually every episode from season 1 on, I find that I like these episodes the best. They are so raw. The bots really look "homemade". The commentary seems at least partially improvised and you can tell because it makes one of the others laugh. You can call Joel? Wow... I grew up watching Ghulardi(sp?), Big Chuck & Hoolihan (then Little John), and Super Host and in my adult life have always gravitated to those kinds of "home town" shows with terrible budgets but people that loved their art.

[@nakyer]

+Anton Wilsbach Before ComedyChannel/ComedyCentral, there wasn't a script for the riffing. Apparently it was VERY MUCH "improvised".

[@TheBandkanon]

I think I recall Servo losing bits of him in later seasons, and they seem too genuine to be scripted, but this first time always gets me the most.

[@Anonymous01959]

Actually what they did was preview the movie and adlib working out what they wanted to say. When they had an idea of what to say they did the recorded version working from memory. I watched an interview with the actors that did crow and tom.

[@johnnyweissmuller5559]

Well, the bots were made from extra parts.

[@Xenogeek2]

I like the early episodes because they don't have Dr Forrester and TV's Frank.

[@Xenogeek2]

They were "catapulted" six lightyears in 342 days? Down here on Earth, we have laws against that! Still, it was worth watching this episode to see Catherine Schell. Remember that Brian Blessed ("Mentor") was one of the stars of 'Flash Gordon' 1980. 24:30 Resistance is not foolish. It's voltage divided by current.

[@carmeldebertaut1839]

You could see through Servo's see through head in the early ones!

I used to love SPACE: 1999 as a kid (yes, I'm that old.) It was usually a lot of cheesy fun but admittedly it did have some real stinker episodes, especially in the second season. Plus this is missing the awesome opening credits from the first season...

[@TziporaCat]

+kimdkus They riffed on it because it was in KTMA's library. That's a pattern you'll notice in this season: decent movies, riffed because they were what the crew could get their hands on.

[@steverhodesvideos6244]

Indeed. I found myself wishing sometimes that Joel and the bots would just shut up so I could hear the movie. That's how realistic this episode was.

If your supercomputer contains enough power to blow up a whole planet, maybe you should make it out of something besides easily-breakable glass.

[@LchanOtakudom]

I'm sure someone somewhere has them all tucked away... I hope...! I'd pay to see them, too!

[@AvengerII]

It's highly optimistic to think they saved all the original props. That's not usually the case. I doubt they were thinking the original Servo's and Crow's would be worth anything years later. They did literally build the robots and sets from whatever pieces of cheap junk/found objects they could find. Servo is literally half of a modded gumball machine! If they couldn't be repurposed or rebuilt as the series evolved, they probably got thrown out. (The new 'bot robots might actually be made from plastic molds at this point. I'm sure they've got the money now or could get a fan with the know-how to build new 'bots from molds. (I mean, hell, Jeff Dunham uses 3-D laser printing to make his newest ventriloquist dummies now. 3-D printers get cheaper all the time.) There have been at least 3-4 versions of these robots up to the present not including one-off episode mods or episodes where they blew up/destroyed duplicates of the main puppets. And with that said, if they ever again marketed a reasonable facsimile of Tom Servo -- doesn't have to be FULL size! -- I'd probably get it. (I know they sold one a few years back but I doubt they still make him or Crow.) He's easily one of the neatest robot designs along with Crow. They belong in a hall of fame besides R2-D2, C-3PO, Robby the Robot, and The B-9-M-3/Robot from the original Lost in Space.

[@jondeare]

I looked up Tom Servo on Wikipedia. They've been busy...Futurama, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I'm sure they will end up in a museum, someday.

That's not Frank, hon...that's Josh Weinstein, aka "Dr. Erhardt" and the original voice of Tom Servo (through the end of Season 1). In fact I don't even see Frank's name in the credits, so now I'm wondering when exactly he joined the production...

[@Emiliapocalypse]

Love the KTMA intro!!!

[@devilmikey00]

I think my biggest reason for not loving these episodes has little to do with the production value but just the lack of jokes. So many sections of this is just them sitting there saying nothing. They hadn't quite figured out how many jokes they should be cracking consistently. The pacing just feels off.

[@analogkid01]

Yeah, the K-season theater segments were completely improvised, and it shows.

[@choosecarefully408]

Yep. This particular episode along with Legend of the Dinosaurs & City on Fire are riffed by humor the level of 12-year-old boys as well. Making extremely lazy Chinese buffet menu jokes in reference to nothing but the fact that the film is Japanese which makes no sense & "50 fat jokes about Shelley Winters." Had any of these three been my first viewing of MAT3K, they would have been my last. How tf did making these lame, weak jokes ever get a second season? I mean, even if the first few were good, having the last few of season K be bad would tell people that the well was empty. Joel left over an argument over improv versus writing? All he had to do was re-watch this episode to see how wrong he was. _Edit:_ at 1 hour twenty minutes in, finally there was a joke that actually made me laugh. Tom Servo's earlier answer to "what's our position?" "... Against...?" Was great. But Crow's talking about how he hates 'humanoids' because they hurt so much, then correcting himself saying that he was thinking of something else (ending in 'oids') & letting us figure it out... _THAT_ is a good joke! How suicidal did Trace sound, having to shill for a pizza place though? That was disheartening.

True, but you gotta admit that the jokes got better once they hired some writers instead of just the four of them trying to do everything themselves.
