Rifftrax has redone the short Last Clear Chance and it is worth picking up as it is a different edit than the one they used on the show with some longer scenes and you actually get to see the other high school student's accident.

Oh sure, they've redone the short just a little bit. But that extra footage can lead to distraction and then...

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! :gonk:

Dr. Laurence Erhardt. Left before the show made it big because he and Jim Mallon did *not* get along at all. In an amusing twist, when he started working with Joel again on Cinematic Titanic (and the most recent incarnations of Mallon-free MST3K), it turned out he was actually one of the funniest writers.

While I’d agree that Erhardt was probably the weakest character in the first seasons, it’s worth pointing out that he also was the original Servo, and I think he was pretty good in that role! He was also only 17 when he started working on the show, and I think he was remarkably good when you take that into consideration.

I've heard Josh say he left because he was the only one of the main cast/founders who wasn't a partner in Best Brains and was making peanuts. For a long time it was spun as 'Josh was a kid and too big for his britches' but if that's the case I can't blame him.

I hadn't heard about the conflict with Mallon. I've always heard it said that he moved to LA to further his career.

E: f,b

Erhardt was pretty grating IMO but I thought his Servo was pretty good.

It's by design. Josh has said he intentionally did a grating voice for Dr. Ehrhart to differentiate it from his Servo voice and keep the illusion for the viewers that the robots weren't just puppets.

He also didn't like the riffs being scripted.

Have The Wild Wild World of Batwoman on in the background, which I'm watching for probably the second time, and my ears prick up at a certain voice. I look and see THIS guy:



In particular, his vocal delivery reminded me of someone in something I had seen recently, so I looked it up and sure enough:

That was a strong secondary motivation. And good on him for following through on it, because not only did he land a lot of solid writing gigs, he also managed to give Frank a hand-up once he left the show.
