- No WAY!!! This has to be the most AWSOME movie. The symbolism and
- suttleness of the humor is unbeliveable! Gene Wilder played Willie
- Wonka in the most DEMENTED and DISTURBED manner, which makes this
- movie worth watching

- MST3K DOES have standards, you know. This is below even theirs.

- Actually, the Cartoons would make good fodder as well, if not better
- (The animation was them moving cut-outs around very cheaply.)

- you are thinking perhaps of The Fantastic Journey? It lasted 4 months,
- and is about a group of scientists exploring the Bermuda Triangle
- which are transported to what they believe is another world. I can't
- find any reference in my book to a time-travel series with McDowell.
- It is from 1977.

- At first, I was going to flame you, but then I thought about it.
-
- > 10. You Asked for It
-
- Self-MiSTing(and they do a poor job). Too hard to pull off well, even
- for the pros considering the hatchet job of the production.
-
- > 13. The Incredible Henry Limpet
-
- It's called 'The Incredible Mr. Limpett', and It would be a step above
- their normal fare. Possible, but I don't think so.
-
- > 14. The Flintstones
-
- NO NO NO!!!! THIS IS QUALITY TV!!!!!
-
- Now, if you said 'Any of the sequals to the original series of The
- Flintstones', That would be acceptable, especially 'The Flintstone
- Kids'.
-
- I would like to add "Any of the numerous sequals to the original
- 'Scooby Doo, Where Are You' series."
-
- I realize this is below MST standards, but how about them MiSTing
- those infomercials. Not the newer ones, but the ones from 10 years
- ago, like Ed Beckley and his no-down-payment seminar.
-
- DEEP HURTING!!!!!
