Have you ever done a piece on favorite “genre-bending” episodes? Like “Last of Wild Horses”?
I assume what he means by “‘genre-bending’ episodes” are the ones where one or more host segments take a familiar convention, sci-fi or otherwise, and parody/satirize it. His fave is the “Star Trek” “Mirror, Mirror” parody in “Last of the Wild Horses.”
I’m going to pick an obvious one: the segment in “Fire Maidens of Outer Space” that parodies “Aliens.” “Uh, say, Crow? Could you please kill me?”
What’s your pick?
Any of Crow’s sci-fi moments come to mind. Droppy the water droplet, Crow T. Robots Bram Stokers The Civil War, and my personal favorite Let’s Talk Women!………. Did you have any children? I don’t remember!

It doesn’t just have to be host segments — for instance, “Last of the Wild Horses” also featured Dr. F and Frank in the theater, which was fun. Similarly, Mike’s brother in Mike’s place on the Satellite in “Timechasers” and he’s also in the theater, too.

Three days in and no one had mentioned the Orville Redenbacher sketch from Godzilla vs. Megalon? For shame.

My favorite is probably the set of Ape World where we meet Bobo. Everything they did in that was BRILLIANT! But the fact they designed the set like a cheesy zoo exhibit kills me every time.
As for more outright parodies, the Bar-B-Q Souce commercial was my favorite. IT’S BOOOLD!

Orville Popcorn sketch from Godzilla vs Megalon. The parody of VH1’s Behind the Music in Track of the Moon Beast is a close second.

Your complete lack of any sense of humor only reaffirms to me that the sci-fi era episodes were more entertaining.
Oh and……CORN,GREEN PEPPERS,CHICKEN,ONIONS,ETC……….
