Jupiter Moon
JUPITER MOON
What if you made a sci fi soap opera, spanning 150 episodes, and nothing EVER happens? What if you made a series on such a low budget that when you introduce a "space bar," the only songs you could sing are public domain (like "O Danny Boy")? What if the series was so strapped for cash, introduced merely to fill a time slot, and devoid of any real production standards that the sets were comprised of lighting grids painted white? What if your only space effects were stock NASA footage and a model shot? If you had all of those things, you'd have JUPITER MOON! Is it insipid? Is it really all that bad? Yes! Marvel as Timmy seeks ways to get chocolate, even though he is warned of allergies! Pine with love-sick college-age women who repeatedly swoon at the name of Jean-François! Listen as random music cues with no bearing on the action are recycled and inserted at inappropriate times!

Those familiar with the original run of MST3K will remember that episodes of old serials were used as time-fillers for shorter movies. I would love to see an episode of Jupiter Moon tagged as a preview episode for shorter movies (plus, it gives the added benefit of a serial to promote the purchase of an entire run of movie riffs). So, "Bob and the Incredibly Bad Space Monkeys" could be listed as "Also Includes the XX episode of Jupiter Moon"!

They can't riff the entire 150 episode run. Do you have a several episode story arc (about 3 or 4 episodes) that you would recommend for them to riff in one fellow swoop?
