Here are my top ten favorite Mary Jo moments, in episode order:<\/p>\n
\u2022 513- THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE–Of course, it’s impossible to forget her breakout performance as Jan in the Pan.
\n\u2022 703- DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL–All I need to say is: “Clayton? Clayton! Clayton! Clayton?”
\n\u2022 704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN–MJ parodies every snooty studio set she met during the making of MST3K the Movie to hilarious effect.
\n\u2022 812- THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES\/903- THE PUMA MAN — Mary Jo channels every oddball hair stylist she’s ever had to deal with as she does the voice of Shelli the Nanite.

\n\u2022 822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK–Mary Jo and Bill show delightful chemistry in “Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! Pearl!”
\n\u2022 905- THE DEADLY BEES–Mary Jo shines in the “Please Stay” operetta.
\n\u2022 913- QUEST OF THE DELTA KNIGHTS–No list would be complete without Mary Jo’s segment in the theater! She handles it beautifully.
\n\u2022 1011- HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND–Mary Jo again shows her physical comedy skills as Pearl auditions for Mike’s dance troupe.<\/p>\n
