- I think that's the title, but as usual I'm not sure. However, this was
- showing recently on the Sci-Fi Channel at night (maybe around 10pm?). I
- think it's over now, but for a while there it seemed like every time I
- turned to SFC they were showing this awful series. It had the requisite
- 70's cast: 1 black guy w/regulation Afro, one creepy "chick" (with stringy
- bleach-blond hair), one obnoxious kid/early teen, one oily bad guy
- (McDowell), one "hero" (a white guy, of course), and cheesy sets. Same
- formula as Lost in Space, more or less, maybe even stupider. Anyone else
- (besides me) think the Sci-Fi channel is a big waste of time? Most of their
- material is only good for MST3K treatment, & unbearable without it.
- "Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion" is a riot, though.
-
- Hey, anyone remember the Frank Zappa song about cheapness? Very apropos for
- MST3K! What's the title?
