First shown: 12/18/88.
Opening: Crow is still frozen (see previous show). A caller complains about the Gamera movies; Joel apologises but says there's nothing he can do. He shows a picture of the Mads, and explains that they choose the movies.
Host segment 1: Servo hits puberty and develops a new "DYNAMIC MIGHTY VOICE!" (Portions of this skit appear on the MST3K Scrapbook tape).
Host segment 2: Gypsy wants a new voice too, but Joel thinks she sounds like Kim Carnes and is therefore sexy. A caller asks Joel to unfreeze Crow, and Gypsy eats the shiny spagetti (tinsel) that Joel decorated with.
Host segment 3: A young viewer invitesJ&TB to his birthday party. They can't make it, so Servo sends special birthday wishes. He goes off on a tangent. And keeps going. And going.
End: With his new MIGHTY VOICE, Servo talks about the upcoming New Year's edition of MST3K. Crow's still frozen as the episode ends.
Special Notes: With the exception of the theme song, this show contains the first mention of the Mads. Joel informs the world that the Mads send him the movies, although this contradicts what he said in the opening segment of episode K05- GAMERA. (In that episode, Joel said that he "raided the movie library" and found "the original Gamera," giving the impression that he, Joel, decided what movies they watch.) Servo is back in the theater for this episode; his absence in episode K05- GAMERA is never explained. Interestingly, Servo sits in Crow's seat rather than his own.
