Time
Most of the later ones have riffs that reference many things besides just pop culture. Mike was known for throwing Shakespeare references in all the time. There were countless LOTR references (now I know who the hell Frodo is ), as well as other stuff not everyone would get. You could watch the same episode multiple times and get something new out of it each time.

Time
Every time I talk about the show with my brother, he always asks me if I have a certain episode that we remember seeing on TV way back in the day. I really don't remember the movie that well, but there is one part where an old man and an old lady are sitting in their living room and all of a sudden the house blows up. I think it's servo who says, "Ah! Forgot about those cookies!" When we first saw it on TV, we were laughing for a good 5 minutes. Now that I have every episode on DVD, I can't seem to find that one. Anybody recall which one this is?

I like Mike better I think, but mostly because by then they had the format down pat and Mike was the head writer for a lot of Joel's episodes anyway. Not to take anything away from Joel - the guy created the show and some of my favorite episodes are his. The last three seasons of the show are much better than the rest though I think.

I'll have to look over my list when I get home from work, but ones that immediately come to mind are "Mitchell", "Prince of Space", "Santa Clause Conquers the Martians", "The Incredibly Strange People Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies", and the one with the wannabe James Bond guy (can't remember the title right now). Also, the first 10 minutes of "Teenagers From Outer Space" is gold.

I definitely see the distinct lines on the X0 capture. Note: there are two different wide shots - the first one is right after R2 comes out and the second is a few seconds later after the applause and the 3-shot of Han, Luke, and Leia. The first one, which most of your screens above are from, is a bit clearer and you can see the lines quite distinctly. The second shot, which your PAL GOUT and EditDroid screens are from, is not as clear and the lines are harder to make out. The X0 raw capture does look clearer than your GOUT shots. The final X0 will obviously look even better.

I had to take Vista off my computer. Nero wouldn't install even after I downloaded the Vista-certified update. Besides that, ASPI drivers didn't seem to want to install, and half the freeware video programs I use either wouldn't work or plugins for them wouldn't work. Of course all this came after I posted earlier about not having any problems....
