    Back when they did the Mystery Science Theater Hour, I didn’t realize that “Jack Perkins” was actually Mike. I thought he was just some old Jack Perkins lookalike. So I always ignored him or muted him until the episode was on. Sigh.

      With broadcast quality and the tiny screens we had back then, that’s completely understandable.

      I was completely glued to the MSTH episodes. We didn’t have Comendy Central in my home town, so before it came out I only got to watch the show when I’d spend the summer with my dad in SoCal.
