Yesterday I listened to 710 on the radio for the first time, and I heard this old guy

say that the Angels are bound to lose – it’s the Mariners’ turn. And Salk asks “okay, why do you think that?” And the caller says: “because I’ve been around a long time, and these things go in cycles. It’s cyclical. And the Angels have been good for a while. They’ve had a good run. So now the time that it’ll cycle back and the Mariners will come on strong.”

And Salk was hacked off, but still surprisingly civil in telling him why that was insane.

I switched it to NPR pretty quickly after that.

I generally find most of the sci-fi era episodes to be very watchable.

Hobgoblins just captivates you with it’s sleaziness and the riffing is some of the best.

by levnclf on Jul 24, 2009 9:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

As a Joel guy I used to hate the Sci-Fi era.

But now I’m convinced that it’s better than the CC-Mike era. I think it’s mostly because Trace Beaulieu just seemed to lose control of his characterizations of Dr. Forrester and Crow after Joel left.

But I’m a Joel guy first and foremost. Give me seasons 1-5.5 any day. Any given episode from Season Three alone (especially the Japanese and ’50s sci-fi ones) is guaranteed to brighten my day.

I don't know how to stop.

by esoteric on Jul 24, 2009 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ah the old classic debate.

I’m more of a Mike guy. I’m all about delivery and I never felt Joel’s was close to being as good as Mike’s. Plus, during the Mike era they tended to riff on more modern movies which I’ve always felt had less of an excuse for being bad thus making them funnier.

by levnclf on Jul 24, 2009 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I've learned to appreciate the tone Mike brings to it a lot, but I'll always prefer the more folksy approach of the Joel years.

That meant that when they got flat-out pissed at the film onscreen (e.g. Lost Continent, Castle Of Fu-Manchu, Fugitive Alien II, Manos, Monster A-Go-Go) it meant something. I dunno, it just seems more welcoming to me. Also it probably doesn’t hurt that it’s era I came in on…I started watching as a 10 year old just as Season One was wrapping up.

I don't know how to stop.

by esoteric on Jul 24, 2009 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ahaa, Fugitive Alien has to be one of my favorite Joel episodes.

“Puppet ships to the rescue!” But you’re more fortunate than me. My dad was the one who turned me on to it in it’s last year of re-runs on sci-fi. Youtube has been the tonic for my addiction.

So wearing hats makes me look like a 12-year-old boy. :/

I think hats are better in theory, but I REALLY like them. It’s a dilemma.

An entire section full of hats would be swell.

I suppose it would take some MIT students to also plan a card stunt that would spell out “Sims” or “Rally fries” ….

I couldn't read it

But I am thinking of Gutierrez naked anyway

Explanation.

I was trying to gear the humor around three things, two of which were universal.

1). .Batista’s pitching is a joke.
2). Everybody is gay for Gutierrez.
3). Matt is looking at something out of the corner of his eye.

  1. was what I was basing all this off. My first gag was just a thought balloon of him desperately trying to get Branyan to make eye contact with him (again, going with an obvious gay for Branyan theme). This was my second idea… a tuned out Matt starts to think about happier things… like … well you get the joke, I hope.

Too much? Not enough? Scrap it?
