: And this week's selection is...
:
: "Gorgo" (Show 909)
:
: Yes, it's the near-lost episode of MST3K,
: guest-starring Leonard "Two-and-a-half
: Stars" Maltin.
:
: "Near Lost" may be a little bit
: dramatic. Certain it was the least repeated
: episode. Just once, on the weekend following
: its first run. That was a peculiar time in
: MST3k history. They'd show an episode on
: Sunday, and repeat it six days later on
: Saturday. Rather than showing it twice in
: the same weekend, as they use to. Go figure.
:
: In any case, "Gorgo!" has never
: been repeated after that one week (as you
: probably know). And hasn't been offered on
: DVD sets. Other than it being a Warner
: Brothers movie, and a distant kin to
: Godzilla, one wonders why the snub? Is it
: too expensive to lease, or sacred cow stuff
: (to some like Sandy Frank)? -Dex-
...it's the usual bugaboo over rights issues. I don't know the details, though. I'll check on it.
