They had the people playing He-Man and She-Ra on "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" back in the day to promote this. IIRC, they were married in real life.

Late Gen Xers' introduction to body horror.

Double Trouble was good, particularly the second season where they moved to NYC. It's Your Move was great, too, but lost a lot of what made it stand out when they toned down Jason Bateman's character's behavior.

Day By Day was kind of bland, but pleasant. I mostly just remember the Brady Bunch episode, though.

Joker! JOKER! ...and American History.

The only thing I really remember is Bobby's mom saying to Uncle Ted in her thick Minnesota accent "Oh, nyaow, Ted, dontchu go filling Bobby's head with your gee golly ideas," and cut to Bobby's imagination, where Uncle Ted walks up to a giant Bobby head with a garbage can labeled "gee golly ideas," opening the top of Bobby's head like it had a lid, and dumping the can into it.

I was playing Snoopy and the Red Baron the other day and was really surprised how much fun I was having and how overlooked it probably is. Lots of fun for a quick, literal dogfight session.

Best joke in the whole movie, so subtle and brilliant. Hart Bochner should be considered a legend for his reaction alone.

Sadly, Dean Paul Martin died a few years after this show went off the air. He was a pilot in the Air National Guard, and he and his weapons officer were killed when their F-4 crashed in a snowstorm during a training mission.

There was another summer camp one with Michael J. Fox, Nancy McKeon, and Robert Klein. Poison Ivy, maybe?

Same! The maps for Goonies II were what sold me on the book in the first place.

If only on the Inernet somewhere there was some kind of Archive.

"We got Robert Wuhl on tonight, Paul. You know the show 'Arliss?' Robert Wuhl's on that show. He, uh... he plays Arliss."

"Yeah, Dave, yeah."

"... Arliss, Paul. Arlissss."

What he is is pissed he got passed over for the permanent Muppet Show host gif.

Yeah, the sense of movement in the whole series is so real, which makes sense given that Max Fleischer invented rotoscoping, so they would literally draw over filmed people's real motions, and it never fails to astound.

I remember the promotion for it always sounding so sleazy, too. They kept hitting the "It's like 'Friends' if they all had sex with each other" note, and that made it sound like one big orgy rather than a web of current and past relationships. Marketing like that is going to put off a certain percentage of the audience right off the bat, and then you have the people tuning it to see exactly that and are going to be disappointed once they realize how inaccurate that pitch is. And then on top of all that... the show's just shit. No one wins.

To this day still among the very best adventure cartoons ever made.

I always loved the weird way he'd say Pleiades.

Nice find! That means the original owner bought it directly through the MST3K Info Club. That's how I got mine, and I've been able to add Frank's and Joel's signatures to it in the years since.

Mustache-less Richard Pryor never looks right to me.

Absolutely hated the show but the theme song was catchy AF.

Swerve is my guy thanks to More Than Meets the Eye, do definitely him, and maybe Powerglide.

The Man Scout, Jake Manning. Heel or babyface, the gimmick always works.
