Beanie and Cecil was the first cartoon I remember watching and I think there are analogies.

A lot of the shows that really become hit shows are often demonstrated, like Mystery Science Theater.

The first twenty shows at TV 23 were really a workshop.

Sometimes I go into my own little world. It's okay, they know me there.

Mystery Science Theater is really a postmodern show, it's really derived of many influences.

So the actual riffing came out of us just sitting there and doing it the way I think some people think we really did it, which is all spontaneously, and it really was.

If you notice any of the press from when I was with the show, I would always deny it being the year 3000.
