"Mystery Science Theater is really a postmodern show, it’s really derived of many influences." ― Joel Hodgson Topic(s): Science More From Joel Hodgson "Well, really the way worked was that I had probably built fifty robots before Mystery Science Theater, and I had sold them in a store in Minneapolis in a store called Props, which was kind of a high end gift shop." "But if you think you aren’t creative that’s cool, too. I think being around people who aren’t creative is kind of refreshing and nice." "The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it." More In Science "I’m not so interested any more in how a great deal of science fiction goes. It goes into things like Star Wars and Star Trek which all go excellent in their own way."― Robert Sheckley "The man of science is nothing if not a poet gone wrong."― George Meredith "I believe that science fiction is as profound as you want it to be or it can be very simple entertainment, and I’m all for very simple entertainment. Every now and then we all need to come home, veg-out, watch something and not think too deeply about it. It’s what you want it to be. We tend to steer clear of being pedantic; it’s entertainment first, otherwise we’d be on a lecture circuit."― Joe Flanigan
