Throughout MST3K’s run, characters from the shorts and movies have made appearances in the host segments. Which character who has not made such an appearance would you like to have seen on the SoL/in Deep 13/on the Hexfield? I’m going with Ro-Man of Robot Monster. He could have talked about what he’s been up to since the events in the movie and how his relationship with Alice was going.
I’d like to hear more from the “Leave Robert Denby alone!” guy. I bet he’s still upset. But I bet he thinks that Abby’s some gal.
Your pick?

But there was no appearance.
‘Diabolik’ POST melted gold. just hang out at his euro-future pad, raid his fridge, show him home movies, invite life insurance agents over to talk to him, count money with his chick and order all the PPV that i can stand. and all he can do is stand there like a big golden Gumby. we’ll see how cool he is after that.
Whenever Mike and the bots are feeling down, the good and beautiful astronaut from Phantom Planet could come by and boost their spirits with some words of wisdom (or perhaps make them feel good just by leaving).
Old Man Crenshaw –
What would encourage the Old Man to venture out of The Bottoms? How did his chewing tobacco based relationship with Tanya end up? Has he updated his wardrobe? Did Oprah give him a new truck? Inquiring minds want to know!
Kathy, from Track of the Moon Beast. She wouldn’t do much while standing pinkly next to everyone on the SOL, but she’d have some pithy reactions: “You’re going to torment these guys with a bad movie?” “Mrs. Forrester, you can’t do that! Mike’s your friend!” “Movie sign? Oh, wow!”
Bridget would have been excellent in the role.
Would of been cool to see Henry Krasker drop by for a visit. He could give us the scoop on how everyone’s doing in the boarding house like his pal Mattling , also his latest inventions, and how Raymonds doing behind bars after confessing to killing Renee.
Rowsdower could drop in from time to time to update the crew on his quest to find beer on the sun.
I think the selling wizard girl (aka Pizza Dominatrix) should have shown up to provide Servo with more freezer options.
Blast Hardcheese from Soace Mutiny. Also Calgan from Space Mutiny. And Santa Anf Sting from Soace Mutiny. The Bellarians too. Heck, the whole cast of Space Mutiny. And the Lobster guy. His name was Pringle. Adorable.
Critter and Michelle from Girl in Gold Boots could drop by from time to time to update Mike and
the bots on how their respective careers keep flaming out. Interestingly, Critter later makes a military
career which is going great “guns” until he gets involved in Irangate while Michelle becomes a
sultry…well attractive…well tolerable double agent femme fatale spy for the CIA and a young
barechested KGB operative.
It would have been interesting if the Moon Men from Hercules vs. The Moon Men dropped by at the end, ready to give the Mads “deep hurting”.
One character I would love to see is Gloria Henderson visiting either the mads or M/J&tB. Playing her from the available crew would be tough although Mike pulled off a credible Valaria. I can just imagine what the gang comes up fashion and script wise.
I selfishly always wanted to know what happened to Vicky from The Deadly Bees. Let’s assume her stay on Gull Island with the World’s Unhappiest Married Couple didn’t scar her for life — is she able to eat honey without flashbacks? How is she around fires? Most of all I want to know how her singing career went, so I’d like her to drop in on Mike & the ‘bots and do a catchy number or two. She could give them all fashion advice from the Swinging ’60s too.
Adam Chance, for sure. I’d like to see him drill the SOL on the karate range.
Donna from “Night of the Blood Beast”, who could take all their pictures while Mike tries to stop the bots from constantly talking about her generous undercupping.
The kid from Mitchell, telling the Mads to buzz off.
I could totally see Mike adding Arch Hall Jr. to his list of impersonations.
I’d like an update from Zap Rowsdower, to see how his rehab from the cult is going. Also to see if he reunited with his dashboard girlfriend.
An interview with an interstellar Cherokee Jack from the not-too-distant-future might have been enlightening:
“So then, you’re Cherokee Jack.”
“Yeah. I’m Cherokee Jack.”
“Is it true that you now fly escaped felons all over the galaxy?”
“Yeah. I fly them.”
“And do you know where the rebels of the intergalactic Empire train?”
“Yeah. I know where they train.”
“Are you just a mercenary for hire, Cherokee Jack, or do you have a particular political or philosophical allegiance?”
“I’m Cherokee Jack.”
I would have loved to see Dr. Ted Nelson from The Incredible Melting Man pester Mike and the ‘bots about crackers over the course of three host segments, the closing segment, and the credits.
Vadinho shows up and demands they all try on belts.
Ator, riding his hang glider all the way to the SoL. I mean, hang gliding through space makes as much sense as how quickly he apparently made the glider.
Well, one of the Kaiju monsters would be cool, though that would probably be subject to all sorts of copyright laws. But can you imagine Kevin as Guiron doing a RonCo type infomercial?
Also, not an appearance per se, but the interminable fish arguing scene would’ve made a decent running gag. You know – just something to randomly cut to in the hexfield or outside the door to Deep13 to shake up a sketch.
Bolt Vanderhuge, riding in at 3 mph on his magic floor polisher just to scream and then leave calmly in the opposite direction.
The two alien girls from ‘Gamera Vs Guiron’ show up and try to eat Joel’s brain. They get as far as shaving his head but Tom and Crow save him from “caLAAAMity!”
How about a real (ie. dangerously psychotic) Ann-Margaret-based Kitten With a Whip, and not some guy in a cat suit?
Natalie from Werewolf –
The crew of the SOL could give her a list of enunciation exercises such as “Peetor Pipper peeked a peek off Peekled Peepers” and “Whoo knew brune cuh” to work through while TV’s Frank turns down the air conditioner.
(Ladies, forgive me. I am a simple man.)
#27
“That’s aabsolutely faaassinating.”
Thong from Cave Dwellers, just to hear his side of the story. Silently following Ator around all the time, you know he had to have some thoughts to share. And fish.
Assuming you didn’t mean one of the opponents Godzilla or Gamera faced, Gamera did show up on the Hexfield in the episode with the first movie.
Derek from Teenagers from Outer Space. He could solemnly (and slowly) make boring pronouncements, and compare stylish jumpsuits with the new host! Maybe ‘Mr Torcha’ could also make a cameo.
Another appearance of Torgo would be epic. And that long awaited crossover where Torgo meets Ortega!
Glen Manning should definitely appear.
I’d like to see Bela Lugosi show up in Deep 13. He could give the Mads some needlessly complicated suggestions on how best to torment the captives on the SOL.
Boy, a broad range of options! Here goes:
1. I’d like the Brad, car driver, from 1001: Soultaker. He appear at the wheel of the SOL. Driving way too fast, of course! Mike and the Bots talk him down though.
2. Roger, the Worm Face, from 1012: Squirm. Maybe discussing worm faces, offering Mike one.
3. Coffee girl from Episode 609: The Sky Divers. She appears unannounced on the hex field over Mike’s shoulder suggesting coffee for everyone. Maybe in a couple of episodes even.
The paperboy from Invasion USA. He can randomly pop in during host segments, quickly announce things that did or will happen in the sketches, or from the mads in Deep 13, and pop out right after, leaving the SOL captives puzzled, wondering where he keeps disappearing to.
The blind guy in Rocket Attack U. S. A. He could randomly walk through the SoL and
Deep 13 calling out “Help Me.” Sadly, Doctor Forrester would try to trip him up and
he would then get entangled in Gypsy’s coils.
One thing I know is that Paul Chaplin would have been a terrific Mushroom Guy from Jack Frost.
How about old timer Billy Slater, organizing a robot rodeo?
We got Kevin as Ilya Mourometz. Why not Mike as Sinbad or Bridget as the underwater princess?
“… and featuring a special guest appearance by Joe Don Baker as Himself”
You know, Abby really is some gal!
Maybe the young housekeeper from THE DEADLY BEES could stop by & give us all closure on the whole “dogs meat” situation.
one name: EEGAH!! (guess no one on staff was tall enough to fill the order, though!)
okay, one more, though i don’t know all the character names: the old “smoochers!” guy from “the-the eye creatures” showing up randomly on the hexfield, accosting the crew (“smoochers on mah prahperteh!” “no, no wait sir – we aren’t, ah, smooching… heck, this isn’t -your- ‘praperteh!'” “awww, hayell…!”)
then, during the next break, if they could all fit somehow into the hexfield, have the “smoochin'” couple from “manos” onscreen, and have “ol’ smoochers guy” show up…
old guy: SMOOCHERS!
j&bots: no, no sir – well, yes they’re smoochers, but this -still- isn’t your ‘prapertie!’ (taking on some southern jaw-jia slang) git on owt now, go’wan, git!
old guy: awww, hay-ell! (exits, stage-left)
smoochers (turning now to face j&bots): hey, thanks guys! (j&bots now notice that the “smoochers” are actually “mumenschantzing” their own smoochin’ with each other… hugging themselves with their own hands over their shoulders)
j&bots: hey, ahh… wait a minute, you two aren’t actually kissing each other!
smoochers: that’s right! (to each other) hey, wanna switch partners?
the “smoochers” then sit side-by-side, back to the camera-stage, continuing their “faux-smooching”…
j (hitting the hexfield switch): ewww… that was starting to get weird.
crow (or maybe more likely, servo): tellin’ me… it’s weird i never get invited to those kinda parties…
(other two look at him askew): we’ll be right back.
COMMERCIAL SIGN!
Great one! Reminds me of another jarring scene: the secretary from Teenagers from Outer Space who walks in the room and screams so strangely while throwing papers everywhere.
Maybe get all the weird walk on characters together for a sketch. The paperboy could walk through yelling ‘Extra, extra!’, followed by the secretary throwing papers all over, then the blind man from Rocket Attack USA saying ‘Help me’.
Did I forget any other walk ons? I know there are some more weird ones. Maybe that should be another topic!
How about Dr. Hubbs from Phase 4 dropping by to rant about how great ants are and how he will defeat them with his superior mind, and how he got jilted by an ant he was dating and that’s where all this hostility is really coming from.
Cornjob could drop by to make sure those kids weren’t getting into any trouble.
Lembeck. But it would be difficult to talk him into staying.
The newspaper editor from Brute Man. “Stranded in space? Good!”
Speaking of walk ons, how could everyone have forgotten about Klein?
He’d light up the sets anytime he came in. Perhaps he and Krankor
could drop in at the same time to visit Mike and the bots. Or how about
Klein AND Mike in drag?
I’m guessing you meant the enraged grocer.
would say Corn Job (as played by Mike).
One more, Sam the Keeper and his shotgun to “keep the flies down.” Would like to see him woo Pearl.
