THE PLOT:
In the not too distant future, call it someday AD. Joel Robinson was a good employee for Gizmotics Institute, which made his
evil bosses not like him. So the sick and twisted Dr. Clayton Forrester knocks Joel out and shoots him into orbit in a satellite
in order to study his mind as they send a gaggle of bad movies at him.
But no man should be totally alone in space, so Joel used his ingenuity and intelligence to build sentient robots to keep
him company during his years in space. There's Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, Cambot and Magic Voice.
Later in the series, Mike Nelson was a temp while TV's Frank was doing inventory, Gypsy overhears them planning Mike's
murder and thinks that they want Joel dead. So Gypsy and Mike help Joel escape.
For punishment for helping Joel escape the Satellite of Love, Mike was forced to take Joel's place and the movies seem
to get worse and worse.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
This has got to be the perfect and most original concept in Television history. I love this series. I love everything about
it. I love the jokes and I love the puppet work. I think everyone should watch this series at least once before they die.
I only wish I could give it more then 10 stars.
I GIVE IT (10 STARS)
VOLTRON'S OPNION:
I got to agree with Zedd, it is a good show. But it is far from perfect. My major complaint is when they take good low budget
movies, some that don't deserve what they give it. Like "THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN" or "GAMERA" movies.
So my grade is a little lower.
I GIVE IT (5 STARS)
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS)
+ORIGINAL (This has got to be the most original show in the history of television)
+FUNNY (I love listening to the quips that they say while watching the movie)
+CHARACTERS (I love the characters in this show)
+WRITING (One of the best written show on Television)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES)
-GOOD B-MOVIES (Some of their choices to put on the show was not that bad)
And finally:
-FAN BASED (If you do not like people talking through the movie, then this is not for you)
