I thought it’d be fun to get people’s opinions on “Most Divided Host Segments vs. Movie Episodes”. I was watching “San Francisco International” and I absolutely love that movie (TV show?). I think the riffing is terrific, and I end up laughing through the entire movie portion. But, the host segments [the Urkel stuff, for those who don’t remember] are just terrible to me. I get the purpose of the segments. I just don’t enjoy them, at all.
So, I thought it might be cool to see if other people have certain episodes in which the movie outweighs the host segments considerably. Or even if the opposite is true. The movie portion just doesn’t work on any level, but the host segments are gold.
What comes immediately to mind is 416- FIRE MAIDENS OF OUTER SPACE. The “Dark Timmy” segments are such classics. At the same time the movie riffing is a bit sub-par for me.
For the reverse, I’d pick 702- THE BRUTE MAN. Hilarious in the theater, but the segments do nothing for me.
What what be your pick?
