SynopsesEdit

Posture PalsEdit

Four children decide to better themselves through posture, with help from their teacher Ms. Martin. Tommy wants to have good health, Jimmy wants to stand straight and tall, Jane wants to grow tall, and Mary wants to look pretty. All four children have great posture in the end, but did they really win when you think about it?

Appreciating Our ParentsEdit

This is the story of a boy named Tommy, who can't do anything for himself. He rethinks his symbiotic relationship with his parents, and decides to become a "team player". And, he finds out what Mom and Dad do after he goes to bed...

InformationEdit

The MovieEdit

SynopsisEdit

Professor Charles Conway (Carradine) is a mad scientist attempting to develop the proverbial fountain of youth by creating "the 17th gland". Ignoring all aspects of scientific ethics, his research subjects are people who have no family and are under the impression that Conway can cure their depression. However, his research hasn't been successful and his subjects are turned into grotesque zombies. Some of Conway's patients begin to catch on to his scheme and intend to stop him. [1]

InformationEdit

  • Look for Tor Johnson’s son Karl, who has a bit part in this movie as the largest mutant. [2]
  • The bots make fun of "America's Funniest Home Videos", a show that Josh worked for and that Trace would later write for.

The EpisodeEdit

Host SegmentsEdit

Prologue: The Satellite of Love crew decides to make an entry for America's Goofiest Home Videos.

Segment One (Invention Exchange): Crow is identified by his dental records, the Mads demonstrate some hard pills to swallow, and Joel and the Bots create a random assortment of celebrity-inspired products.

Segment Two: Tom and Crow learn how to appreciate Gypsy in the same vein as the short.

Segment Three: The SOL crew does a tribute, "The Many Faces of Tor Johnson".

Segment Four: The Bots make up their own board game out of the leftovers from other board games, and model it after the twisted house from the film.

Segment Five: Joel and the Bots read a letter in the style of the Dead End Kids, and even Dr. F even gets into the act with his Leo Gorcey impression.

Stinger: Tor announces it is "Time for go to bed!"
