First aired: Comedy Central on 7 November 1993
Availability: Amazon (Volume 10/out of print)
"So is it a teenager who strangles, or someone who strangles teenagers?" |
Mike also gets his first short film, Is This Love?, and it's loads of fun. It has the Romulan-looking roommate who looks more like the parents of a college student than a college student -- one source puts the actress as being 37 -- and lots of hilarious riffing.
Romulans need love, too. |
The
Someone is strangling teenagers when they're not dancing on the counters in the local diner, and a witness points to a gang that Jimmy belongs to, and the police suspect Jimmy, who keeps not having alibis because he's always off with his girlfriend, but won't tell anyone because he doesn't want to get his girlfriend in trouble, because her parents don't like her hanging around with Jimmy, but it turns out that the school janitor is killing all the teenagers because he used to be a teacher or something, but gets caught so it all ends well, except for the dead people. The end.
The show does make a change beginning with this episode. The bumpers contain scenes from Dr. Forrester's notes on the experiment in Deep 13. There are calendar entries, notes on test tubes, all kinds of things.
One of the new bumpers. | "This must be the start of the counter culture." |
The show hasn't missed a beat following Joel's departure. Not to say I don't miss him, but Mike was a good choice to replace him.
