Writer's Block: Two words: Charlie Brown

[Error: unknown template qotd]
One word: MST3K.

The show debuted on Thanksgiving 1989, and so "Turkey Day" has forever been linked with the show. Comedy Central would air 30-hour Turkey Day marathons, complete with special bumpers and segments featuring Dr. Forrester trying to take over the world before pie was served, and deal with unwanted guests from movies he's inflicted on the Satellite of Love gang.

Here's a collection of some of the best bumpers. 



It's now tradition among MSTies to spend Thanksgiving watching an episode or seventeen. I usually load up some episodes on my iPod and watch while we drive to the family dinner. This year it might be Jack Frost and Hamlet. Maybe Invasion of the Neptune Men, too, if the weekend gets super boring.

Thumbs up! I used to love the MST3k Turkey Day marathons: Frank trying to cook dinner while Dr. F plots to take over the world. Good times.

I was watching Time Chasers last night. As awesome as the Comedy Central eps were, I think the show really hit its stride the last few years on the Sci-Fi Channel.

I never got to watch the marathons - we'd always be somewhere else, and we'd watch the parade and football because it's just me and my dad that like MST, and Dad only watches it occasionally. I'm the one that really loves it.

And I'm much more of a Sci-Fi fan than a Comedy Central fan. That's what I watched growing up (Dad would watch on Saturday mornings, and I'd join him), so that's where most of my favorite episodes come from.
