K21 LEGEND OF THE DINOSAURThis is a featured page


First shown: 5/28/89.
Opening: Taking their cue from the "Paul McCartney is Dead" hoax of the late '60s, the Mads start a "Joel is Dead" rumor. They make a pretty decent case, quite honestly.
Host segment 1: Joel demonstrates the way special effects can be used to make a person look really small. A little boy visits the Satellite of Love and shakes Joel like a rag doll.
Host segment 2:
J&TB put on a wacky sitcom, complete with laugh track, canned applause, and groaningly bad jokes. (This clip appears on the MST3K Scrapbook tape.)
Host segment 3:
To prepare the Bots for the film's upcoming dinosaur action scene, Joel shows off his model lizard, which breathes real fire. The Bots are underwhelmed. (The model would be re-used as an invention exchange in episode 103- MAD MONSTER.)
End: Summer's coming up, and that means MST3K is going on hiatus! J&TB discuss what they plan to do until the show starts up again. Servo: "I'm gonna fill my head with cocoa butter and surf till I drop!"
Special Notes: Host segments 1 and 3 were apparently aired in the wrong order: in host segment 1, Joel refers to their "earlier" segment about the dinosaur... it's pretty obvious he's referring to host segment 3. Oops.
This was the final KTMA episode, though the last host segment makes it clear that the cast and crew expected to return to KTMA after a summer break. Fortunately for them (and us), they had a larger destiny in store for them.
