Episode 0413 - Manhunt In Space


 


This web site requires use of the Macromedia Flash software for this feature.


 



Movie Summary


 Short: General Hospital: 

Another episode of (organ music, please) General Hospital! The perpetually martyr'd Jessie the Nurse is in a love standoff with Roy Thinnes, and Cynthia is diagnosed with a hiatus hernia.


 Movie: Manhunt In Space: 

The first of two Rocky Jones chronicles. Space Ranger Rocky Jones and sidekick Winky foil intergalactic traitors who are hijacking cargo spaceships on their way to Casa 7, the United Worlds space station. Their friend, gal pal Vena, is on a rocket whose power and equipment has been neutralized and set adrift in the great void, so Rocky and Winky come to her rescue with the help of Professor Newton and young smarty-pants Bobby. They use a device invented by the professor that renders things so cold that they become invisible (well, sure, I can see how—what???). So traveling in an invisible rocket, Rocky and Winky are able to sneak up on the bad guys. Don't miss Winky as he sings Bobby to sleep playing a space mandolin.

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Joel realizes Servo's color-blind when he identifies Joel, Crow, and Dr. F. as being red.

 Invention: 

Frank and Forrester have beanbag pants which help them facilitate their weekly discussion salon. Joel and the 'Bots wear recycled paper fashions. Crow's suit is made entirely of used Viva paper towels—he's the quicker-picker-upper.

 Segment 2: 

Servo is Dr. Chad Feelgood and tells Peggy (played by Crow) that everyone could see his hinder through his hospital gown.

 Segment 3: 

Joel, Servo, and Crow discuss the word "space" as a modifier. In this film there's space lunch, space kid, and space pills.

 Segment 4: 

Winky visits the Satellite of Love from his mother's basement in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, but he insists it's his invisible spaceship.

 Segment 5: 

Joel has modified Crow into an electric guitar and Servo an amplifier. In Deep 13, Frank and Forrester continue their discussion salon when they can't get out of their beanbag pants.

 Stinger: 

Watch out for that chair!


Reflections

The General Hospital short brought fond memories flooding back for many of us. Mike and I discussed All My Children, which I saw only because my college roommate had the TV on all the time, and I fondly recalled how I scheduled my college classes around General Hospital. When Luke and Laura got married, my roommates and I invited people over, arranged chairs as if we too were attending the wedding, and had wedding cake. We were positively nutty. Nurse Jessie was a lifer on GH until she died in the early Nineties. Roy wasn't good enough for you, Jessie.
