Movie Summary


 Movie: Stranded In Space: 

This pile of celluloid was originally a pilot for a series called The Stranger. Astronaut Neil Stryker crash-lands on Terra, a mirror image of Earth, where a brave new world called the Perfect Order exists. Stryker's very presence is perceived as dangerous and subversive to the Perfect Order: The inhabitants of Terra fear he will bring other Earthlings to infiltrate their planet. After breaking out of the hospital, a pretty doctor begirlfriends Stryker and tries to help him get back to Earth. And so, the perpetually beleaguered and grimacing Neil Stryker wanders Terra, searching for a way to get back to Earth.

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Joel has fashioned Tom and Crow into an at-home shooting gallery, and while shooting Tom and Crow explains the premise of the show.

 Invention: 

Joel and the Mads take turns with their inventions, a variety of weapons which just have the 'bang" flag, like the "bang" Uzi, harpoon gun, knife, nunchuks, and dynamite.

 Segment 2: 

Crow and Servo trade Toppers TV Trading Cards: Servo wants to trade his entire Love Boat collection ("worth a ton") for Crow's incomplete Columbo Villains & Name of the Game season two cards.

 Segment 3: 

Tom makes cookies, Crow has a bad dream, and they discuss their visions of Ward E. Crow's vision of Ward E is like when you press down on the garbage to get more garbage in there, and some icky, unknown substance squirts all over you.

 Segment 4: 

Joel is an evil overlord who, while cradling his pet turtle, orders Crow and Servo to eliminate some television cops, like Christie Love and Matt Houston.

 Segment 5: 

Crow and Joel try to pitch the movie as a series to television executive Servo. Joel reads a letter and Servo considers Gil Gerard and Lindsay Wagner to star in the letter. In Deep 13, Forrester tries to offer Frank a promotion. Frank just doesn't get it.

 Stinger: 

Stryker gets slapped, deservedly.


Reflections

Frank Conniff is a veritable encyclopedia of film knowledge. From the first Oscar winners to the best cafés in Cannes, Frank is an erudite film scholar ne plus ultra. And yet he has a passion for TV movies. The mere mention of Monte Markham sends him to heaven. Lindsay Wagner sets his heart aflutter. And don't even mention John Saxon around him. On top of all this, he knows every theme song ever on TV from 1960 to present day. Especially the bad ones. I think he knows the theme song for The Montefuscos, which aired for only two episodes. I guess it's the awful price you pay for being an erudite film scholar ne plus ultra.
