Weekend Discussion Thread: Hall of Fame Inductees

Alert reader Robert Igoe writes:

Let’s assume that someone is creating an MST3k Movie Character Hall of Fame. Who would be inducted to the charter class? We should choose one director/producer, five actors, and one movie each from the Mike and Joel eras. And what memorbilia (both props from the show and from the movies) should be on display?

My choices:
Director: Coleman Francis.
Actors: Joe Don Baker, Mamie Van Doren, Tor Johnson, Bruno Vestota and Peter Graves.
Movies: “Manos” and “Horror of Party Beach.”
Displays: Megaweapon’s tire, the button and Digger Smolkin’s robe.

What would be your pick?

Also, keep those suggestions coming by email to msampo at a-o-l dot com. Don’t post it in the comments here, I might not see it. And I had a little hard drive trouble recently so if I haven’t used one you suggested in the past, (and if I haven’t sent you an email as to why) if you can resend it, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
