   	It's not a running gag: it's one host segment, the Hex Field   
   View Screen appearance.  The other segments are, in introduction,   
   Mike and Tom greasing up Crow and sending him down the Umbilicus,   
   Mike giving the Bots bionic sounds (`For the first time in my life I   
   feel like Lee Majors ... is that a good thing?'), the Kitten with a   
   Whip, Mike's hazing on crossing the equator, and a Doctor Forrester   
   Pinata.   
      
      
   	For the most-watchable movies un-MiSTed, though, I think that   
   I'd nominate first the 'Ruso-Finnish Coproductions' even though not   
   all of them were Ruso, or Finnish, or Sinbad.  But they stand on their   
   own mighty well for being, for those of us who don't know the actual   
   mythological elements being put on display before translation, well-   
   made yet gleefully goofy productions.   
      
   	Also rather good: The Amazing Colossal Man; This Island Earth;   
   Time Chasers; Santa Claus and Santa Claus Conquers The Martians; and   
   (for my money) the Rocky Jones adventures, Manhunt In Space and Crash   
   Of The Moons.  They've got enough stuff going on to draw interest and   
   avoid being depressing slogs.  (It does seem like the average MiSTed   
   movie is a half-dozen depressed clods in black-and-white moping about   
   until they're eaten by the space alien or whatever.)
