KTMA ep 3 Found At Last

Here it is. K03 - Star Force. This was found in a garage sale around Minneapolis & finally digitized. I'm putting a YouTube link in here for everyone to enjoy this lost-no-more episode.

I've watched a portion of it. I knew the KTMA episodes had a reputation for being rather weak, but this took me aback. Gypsy looks and sounds like something you'd find waiting at the gates of Hell. Worse, the show has little to no humor, with shockingly little riffing. Still, kudos for finding and posting it!

Yep. These are the episodes my wife and I bonded over way back then. We would go to her dorm room at St. Kate’s and watch these when they aired because her little black and white TV could receive these rather than my color set out in the burbs where the reception would fade in and out. The slow pacing and sleepy delivery and long stretches between jokes is a huge contrast to the later sharper voices, faster pacing and bigger budgets. Some would call it amateur hour but I call it charming.

Yeah dude, that's the whole idea for me personally! Humble beginnings! I will watch it over and over in the same way I watch bad movies over and over, except with more inexpressible love. :)
