- Well, the old KTMA episodes are no longer relevant to the show, either,
- but they showed a short clip from one of those. And, Josh is relevant
- to the show. If nothing else, he co-wrote the theme song.

- I care about what happened to him. And I'm sure there's other fans
- out there (especially the older ones) who would like to know, as well.

- Actually, now they can't even see those reruns. And they did go over
- the history of the show. If they were going to mention how the show
- got started, it's life before Comedy Central, etc., they should have
- mentioned the original cast. The way they presented it, it seems like
- they WANT people to believe that Frank has always been on the show.

-
- More clips from KTMA? But then they might have had to use a clip
- with Josh! (Heck, the only two clips they used from the first
- Comedy Channel season both had Crow talking, not Servo. Intentional?
- Maybe not. But I don't think they would have used a clip with
- Servo's old voice, do you?)
-
- I STILL would like to know the full story on why Josh is no longer
- on the show. Isn't there anyone else out there who also wants to
- know?
