\n\u2022 This episode was included in Shout\u2019s \u201cThe Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Vol. XVII.\u201d
\n\u2022 This episode debuted on the Turkey Day 1992 marathon, and was the first new episode to air in two months.
\n\u2022 As noted, Joel is uncharacteristically mean in the opening! Anybody who says Joel was always a father figure to the bots should watch this sketch. (Although he reminds me a bit of MY father a little.) Thankfully, GYPSY CRUSHES JOEL! and we have a happy ending.
\n\u2022 That\u2019s Mary Jo as Magic Voice, for the first time.
\n\u2022 Naughty line: “You got a snooker down there!”
\n\u2022 During the short, J&tB do probably their best \u201ccommercial\u201d for the Booze Council, featuring the classic line: \u201cBooze takes a dull party and makes it better!\u201d
\n\u2022 Callback: \u201cRock candy baby you’re mine, yeah!\u201d (Daddy-O). \u201cBrought to you by Ken-L Ration\u201d and \u201cI have a hiatus hernia\u201d (General Hospital).
\n\u2022 You can hear director\/scriptwriter Paul Frees (the voice of Boris Badenov) introducing Eddie when he makes his first TV appearance and also as the voice of the police detective in the hospital. Frees also did voices for Inspector Fenwick on “The Dudley Do-Right Show” and the magpies on “The Heckle and Jeckle Show” among many many voice jobs.
\n\u2022 One great thing about this episode is that all Eddie\u2019s songs have these giant gaps after each line of lyrics, allowing J&tB to insert a riff after practically every one.
\n\u2022 Odd moment in the movie: Does Harry really have to ask permission to use the pay phone in Iris\u2019 mom\u2019s diner?
\n\u2022 \u201cI killed that fat barkeep!!\u201d became an immediate MSTie catchphrase.
\n\u2022 Firesign Theatre reference: As segment 2 begins, Tom is singing the “Porgie Tirebiter” theme song.
\n\u2022 That\u2019s Mike, of course, as the voice of Tony Travis. \u201cIf you\u2019re a bill collector or if you\u2019re with the military\u2026\u201d
\n\u2022 In segment 3, Crow’s wig falls off. They keep going.
\n\u2022 One of the weirdest things about this movie is the casting of the hatchet-faced Joyce Terry (aka \u201cDonald Sutherland in drag\u201d) as Helen. Her beauty is supposed to tempt Eddie away from the dim-witted, co-dependent Iris, but it\u2019s hard to understand what Eddie could possibly see in her.
\n\u2022 The letter they read at the end is from a kid who got in trouble for calling his mom a \u201cdickweed.\u201d J&tB state that it is NOT a swear word and they\u2019re right \u2026 but I think you still shouldn’t call your mom a dickweed (even if she\u2019s being one).
\n\u2022 Cast and crew round up: Editor Harold White also worked on “Daddy-O.” Musical director Stanley Wilson also did the score for “Radar Men from the Moon.” In front of the camera, Karen Kadler was also in “It Conquered the World.\u201d Peter Breck was also in “The Crawling Hand.” Frank Worth, who had a bit part here, wrote the score for “Bride of the Monster.\u201d As for Paul Frees, besides doing the grunts and groans for Glenn Manning in \u201dWar of the Colossal Beast,” he’s the voice of Kalin in “The Sword and the Dragon” and the narrator in “The Deadly Mantis.”
\n\u2022 CreditsWatch: Host segments directed by Joel Hodgson (the first of four eps this season). But the big news is the departure of Alex Carr, causing everybody to move up a rung: Jann Johnson becomes production manager (Alex’s old title) and Ellen (Ellie) McDonough becomes production coordinator (Jann’s old title). Alex’s name comes off and Ellen’s name is added to the “post production coordination” credit along with Jann. Ellie comes off the list under “production assistant.” Clayton James did hair and makeup for all the rest of the episodes this season. “Ammendment” is still spelled wrong.
\n\u2022 Fave riff from short: “This is Pete from props. Don’t eat the cake!” Honorable mention: \u201cThere\u2019s a layer of squirrel in here!\u201d
\n\u2022 Fave riff from the movie: “Dish of ice cream! Don’t tempt me!” Honorable mention: o\/` \u201c\u2026a tight leather mask\u2026\u201d o\/`, \u201cAccessory After The Fact Theater will return after this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\nShort: (1963) A scene from the soap opera “General Hospital.” Nurse Jesse throws the most tense and awkward party ever.
