   ************MINOR SPOILER'ISH************   
      
   For the overall feel of of CT:   
      
   Joel was basically Joel H, and no so much Joel R, so that was   
   different..... Know what I mean?   
      
   What I mean is, I just can't hear Trace or Frank without instantly   
   feeling that I'm, in fact, watching MST3k. It was a good feeling :) and   
   both were just as I expected them to be - Joel didn't sound like Joel R,   
   so he didn't invoke as much of a deja vu in me. I don't think I was   
   expecting him to be the dopy guy from the old MST3k, but Frank and Trace   
   were oozing familiarity, and Joel sounded like he was using his big boy   
   voice.   
      
   Josh was great, but, of course, he used a very different set of voices as   
   Larry or Tom, so here on CT, he (a shadow with a voice) was, in memory-   
   association, almost like there was a New Guy feel to him....   
      
   Mary Jo was Mary Jo, but in a very good way; The way I like her best. Not   
   overacting as Mrs Forrester, but just funny and familiar.   
      
   In conclusion, I can say that they all did a good job on their first   
   outing.   
      
   For the riffs, there were many I liked, and a few I did LOL over, but   
   then there's this..... Trace jokes about a "'58 Impala in pursuit of a   
   '62 Biscayne wagon". It's actually a 1960 Cadillac hardtop coupe in   
   pursuit of a 1961 Ford Falcon wagon.   
      
   Car errors, I guess you could call them, always bug me, and I actually   
   see it quite often on television, especially on forensic or crime   
   recreations on CourtTV. But yeah, to get entire makes and models wrong,   
   as on CT, was a bit much, mainly because if you're going to mention exact   
   makes and models, you may as well be accurate. Really, mistaking a Ford   
   for a Chevy, or a Caddy for that matter, shows that the entire gang must   
   not be, or know, a 'Car guy'. But hey, they made a similar error on this   
   season of the show "Chuck"... '86 Crown Vic.. PAH!   
      
   Oh, and no mention of when the '60 Caddy blew up, it became a '52? It was   
   pretty obvious.. At least say, "Different Car!"   
      
   But I suppose this is just my car-level-star-trek-nerd issue... :P   
      
   It would have been nice to hear a "You'll blow-up in style, in the 1952   
   Cadillac!"   
      
   During a driving scene, Joel's "I want to put it on Howard 100, but do I   
   dare?", for me, this was the surprise riff of the evening. Basically   
   because it does very odd, trying to picture Joel listening to Howard   
   Stern. Don't know why.
