You know, as in tune as Bert I. Gordon was with The Fifties, he just didn't get The Sixties!

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:[]
- Actor Allusion: Plenty of references to Lloyd Bridges here. There are also plenty of Opie and Willow jokes at Ron Howard's expense.
|
Crow: I liked Willow! |
|
- Call Back: While the giant teenagers are dancing.
|
Crow: "Why wasn't Glenn Manning this much fun?" |
|
- BSOD: Frank experiences one of these, after being Put on a Bus.
- In Memoriam: In place of The Stinger, there is a dedication to Frank Zappa, who was also a fan of MST3K and had apparently expressed interest in collaborating with Best Brains shortly before his death.
- Mickey Mousing: The "Haunting Torgo Theme" gets sped up when Dr. F helps Torgo get to his seat to interview for Frank's job.
|
Dr. F.: First rule: No theme music. |
|
- Notable Original Music: "The Greatest Frank of All"
- Put on a Bus: We'll miss you, TV's Frank.
- The Bus Came Back: At least in this same episode.
