On we go to the favorite host segments of SEASON FOUR.

My picks, in episode order:
• “Servo on Cinema” looks at Ray Kellogg’s “Leg Up” directorial style–402- THE GIANT GILA MONSTER: Funny and observant.
• Duct tape fashion statements, letters, Dr. F. dines with a friend–404- TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE: The fashion show is hysterical, and the marvelous moment in Deep 13 is the cherry on top.
• Shutting off the holo-clowns–406- ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES: Classic MST3K; dark and weird and off-the-wall.
• Song: “Pants!”–410- HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN: A wonderful musical moment.
• Invention exchange: Big gulp berets, designer bio-hazard absorbent throw pillows–411- THE MAGIC SWORD: a brilliant invention exchange on both parts.
• A visit from Winkie on the Hexfield–413- MANHUNT IN SPACE: Mike is hilarious as Winky.
• Joel defeats Timmy in a battle to the death–416- FIRE MAIDENS OF OUTER SPACE: Joel goes all Sigourney on Timmy. Great stuff.
• Song: “The Gypsy Moons”–417- CRASH OF THE MOONS: Another fun and wacky musical number.
• Gypsy “doesn’t get” Crow (or is it Tom?)–421- MONSTER A-GO-GO: One of the great segments in the history of the show. Brilliant.
• “Hired!” the musical–423- BRIDE OF THE MONSTER: I laughed, I cried…

Least favorite:
Tribute to Earl Holliman!–418- ATTACK OF THE THE EYE CREATURES: A little TOO off the wall.
