Here's a little continuity error I noticed for those of us interested in aviation.

In this movie the General says that "Warshington" has dispatched a B-52 armed with an A Bomb to wipe out the locusts in Chicago (as if an A Bomb would do less damage than a bunch of big grasshoppers). But when he contacts the plane by radio, the stock footage shows a Convair B-36.

I know it's hard to believe that a high quality production like this could make that kind of glaring error, but there it is.

Remember : Aviate, Navigate & Communicate.

Look and listen to the guy in the diner (black hair on the left) at 18:35. It's none other than Jody "Critter Jones" Daniels ! Girl in Gold Boots was made three years later but that voice is unmistakable. Especially the way he exagerates the 'wh' at the beginning of words.

I just noticed the actor who plays Captain Birdman of Homicide in this episode is the same guy who plays Day Drinking Grandpa in 'Teenagers From Outer Space'.

Apparently Servo noticed too because he uses the same riff - singing the theme song from 'New Zoo Review' - in both episodes (01:08:00 in this one and at 00:33:45 in 'Teenagers...')

In at least one dialect of Australian Aboriginal language "Goona" is a swear word referring to fecal matter.

The more you know.

Joel's jumpsuit and Dr. F's green lab coat are iconic enough that if I see someone else wearing them I immediately think of them. It got me pondering about other garb in tv history if you saw someone wear that you would think instantly of a tv character. Being a big fan, I immediately thought of Columbo. Maybe Archies Bunker's white shirt( with or without his fuzzy jacket) and Urkel's suspenders. Oh, and Matt Dillon's pinkish shirt and vest. Oh, 1 more Fred Sanford's outfit. Dang, I'm old.

I chuckle often still when I see Trace raise his eyebrows in the opening. I was curious to hear who are some of the best eyebrow archers of all time. John belushi jumps to my mind first.

Today I find myself in San Francisco International Airport (Where the Big B Actors Roar!) for a connecting flight. I'm somewhat disappointed that they've moved on from the browns-and-tans color scheme.

The new season of MST3K, which seems to be only 6 experiments, appears on Netflix this year's Turkey Day. Joel reckons the chosen movies are even worse than last time.

I think I've got all three that I know of: Laserblast / Warrior of the Lost World / Final Sacrifice. Did I miss any?
