One of my favorite MST3k moments is when Jack Perkins (played by Mike) starts hitting on Mr B Natural (played by Bridget). Just watching him clumsily trying to pick up his wife with that Jack Perkins voice, cadence, wig, etc is a delight.
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.
