Fritz The Cat's Talking Pictures TV Premiere Theme

Some Interesting News...

Oi!

Guess what?

I got the longest comment ever on my Fritz The Cat theme song video, from a nice young man named Zcarstvfan. He said he watched the film last night, and he was so excited to see it finally got its premiere on TV at last, and I rewarded him with a post mentioning his Youtube name and giving him a viewing of the full length A Town Called Panic video as a prize for being so nice to me.

And in other news, 11 people came to see my post about Yu Gi Oh Zexal and Transformers Cybertron, and all those people voted! Woohoo 33 times! So thank you everyone very much for coming to share your views on which of these shows is best - whatever you choose, I think I respect your opinion.

News item number 3 isn't about the football, thank god, but I've decided to surprise Mum for this Christmas and next year during her birthday. I'm going to get some wrapping paper, but I am not ever telling you what they are until six months later.

It's a surprise. Keep it a secret!

Promise?

Ssssshhhhh....

The Stingray Crew On...Sickness & Feeling Low

ATLANTA: What seems to be wrong with our friend?

TROY: She's feeling a bit low, which means she's never going to create again.

COMMANDER SHORE: Great Neptune! Then that means...she won't be seeing any of us string puppets again!

PHONES: That's awful!

TROY: Look, even Marina's getting upset. She's never going to see her all time favourite best friend ever again!

*Oink makes his funny noises*

TROY: Well, at least she's got Oink for company.

COMMANDER SHORE: Well, something has to be done. Our Christmas episode aired on Saturday Morning Pictures this morning, which means there will be a light in the darkness that is a feeling of low-light.

TROY/PHONES/ATLANTA: What is the feeling of low light, and what does it mean?

COMMANDER SHORE: Do I have to? Okay, okay, well, according to the residents of Balamory, after you've been sick, your brain goes grey, your creativity moves to Paris for the day and blood will leak out of your eyes.

ATLANTA: *gasps* OH MY GOD! Father, don't you dare say that! There's children reading this!

*Marina vomits out seaweed*

TROY: It's not helping!

*All the Stingray crew scream in terror*

Canned: A Retelling Of The MST3K Episode 'Teenagers From Outer Space'

“Guys, I think I got some bad news - uh, we got canned.”

“By who?”

“By the people at Talking Pictures TV. They’ve delivered us these electronic bracelets, which means if we make one riff throughout the entire film, we’d be electrocuted.”

“What film are you talking about, Joel?”

“Teenagers From Outer Space! Talking Pictures TV is showing it today. We’ll be doomed if we make at least one single riff throughout the entire showing.”

“Who cares? We’ve got a DVD of the film, so let’s go and watch it.”

“Good idea, Servo. Let’s go!”

AT THE THEATRE…

“Wait…what’s this spaceship doing here?”

“I don’t know but I think we might’ve been the first people to actually discover a UFO.”

“No, doggy, don’t go near it!”

“Too late!”

“NO!”

“Oh dear, now he’s burnt to a crisp!”

“Who are you and what do you want from us?”

“Oh. He’s just a teenager.”

“Right! I’d like to know which one of you is responsible for murdering the neighbour’s dog!”

“I’m not.”

“I’m not.”

“Actually, it was me.”

“JOEL, EH?! Well let me tell you something, my good friend: no matter how many times you’ve been framed for murder, we know you’re responsible.”

“We’ve been planning to cook this dog’s bone marrow for dinner, now if none of you can frame Joel for what he has done, than none of you will be pulverised.”

“We will! We can do it!”

“Alright, you robots, even though we know better, we’ll give that task to you. Remember: make sure you don’t reference Joel’s murderous deeds.”

“But I didn’t do anything! I swear!”

“You did. We saw you.”

“No! Have mercy!”

“Okay, we will, but you’re to not expose your secret to the public, Joel. If you don’t, we shall cut that antennae off Crow’s head and sew it on our ship, that’ll teach you a lesson.”

“Oh no no no, these teens are going to cut my antennae off. What are we going to do, Joel?!”

“Be calm, Crow, I won’t confess anything to the public about my horrible deeds.”

“Hey, have you kids got anything to do with a man who just wants revenge on us?”

“Uh oh. They’re going to expose me.”

“Why are you whispering?”

“They think I’ve secretly smashed a dog’s face off.”

“Wait…who are these people commenting on our world?”

“I’m Joel, and these are my robot friends.”

“Hi!” “Yo!”

“Well, you and your friend are welcome to stay at my house. Be lucky in fact, that it’s set in the UK and not the USA.”

“Hey, can we watch too?”

“Wait a second - who are you?”

“I’m Big Bird from Sesame Street, and these are my friends, Snoopy and Scooby Doo. We’ve come to watch the film with you guys, knowing you mentioned us when you saw it the first time.”

“Alright, fine, you can watch it with us.”

“YAY!”

“Hey, uh, Joel, I think I feel an itch on my neck. Is the little yellow blob with hair invading my body again?”

“Uh oh, you said it…”

PSSSSSSSSZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

“Urgh, my neck…”

“I’ve been burnt to a crisp.”

“What’s wrong?”

“We’ve been riffing again. Those electric bracelets were applied to us like magic.”

“Let us help you get them off.”

Nnnnnrrrrgggghhh….rrrrrrrr…..rraaaaaa!!

“Oh dear, we can’t seem to get them off!”

“Alright, we give up. Crow, give your antennae to the teens.”

“WHAT?!”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ARGH!”

“There. That’s a fine ornament for the top of our telly.”

Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe Positive Affirmation

Even though I can't watch that irresistible '50s Robinson Crusoe film that inspired International Rescue Island, I think tomorrow morning would be a perfect time to think up an idea based on that film involving how warm and snuggly a desert island is, with all my friends from International Rescue by my side and at one with nature. I can also memorise some of the scenes from the film.

Diary - Talking Pictures - Killing Amy Lee

Timon, Pumbaa, Alan, Brains, Tin Tin and I had a wonderful time planning what we would do to kill Amy Lee and save Talking Pictures TV, all while sharing popcorn. Ideas included forcing her to watch Too Cute, letting a stampede of horses trample her to death and burning her face in a pizza oven.

Diaries - Comfort - Revenge On After Midnight!

Right! That does it. Talking Pictures TV is going to ruin Saturday nights with content not suitable for its old timey audience. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to round up Alan, Brains and Tin Tin and show them what for as punishment for putting such a messed up block on their channel! Anyone for a bite?

It's gone.

It's really gone.

Thunderbirds are gone! *howls in despair*

You see, I wanted to see if there are any Thunderbirds episodes on Talking Pictures TV the weekend after the weekend it airs, and I got a nasty shock. No, Brains hasn't messed up my essay about why Talking Pictures TV is the best, oh no. It's that Thunderbirds, has been replaced, by a STUPID CHILDREN'S FILM! I don't know what those maniacs at Talking Pictures TV were thinking, but somehow Sarah got hit in the head by a coconut and didn't want Thunderbirds on the schedule because it was too gritty for children watching this strand.

So, Talking Pictures TV, if you're reading this, please know that I am sick and tired of watching you, especially on Saturday mornings now. You treat Thunderbirds as if it were an uneaten box of chocolates, not touched for a million years - perhaps 60, if you count the years Thunderbirds had aired on our screens. Eurgh, I hate to imagine how a 60 year old box of chocolates would taste like. From now on, I'm watching Disney+ and Rewind TV.

I was really looking forward to watching Thunderbirds as part of Saturday Morning Pictures, but when you announced yet another stinky film from that lousy Children's Film Foundation, I am utterly disappointed and shocked. Why would you do this, Talking Pictures TV? I HATE YOU!

You hear me?!

I HATE YOU! I HATE YOUR FILMS AS WELL! SO DO BRAINS, ALAN, TIN TIN, LADY PENELOPE, JEFF TRACY AND PARKER! It was supposed to be Thunderbirds' 60th anniversary this year, and because you replaced it with a lousy and boring Children's Film Foundation picture, all you will be hearing from the children watching is booing and hissing.

I expected better from you, and YOU, HAVE, FAILED ME!!!!!

THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

GOODBYE FOREVER!

Hate,

Sybil

Cheer Up, Captain Scarlet

Dear journal,

I went for a walk by myself in town near the beach today. It was crowded with people - black, white, yellow and brown - and all the grownups were sunbathing on the beach, while the children were playing in the sea or building sandcastles.

I went to order myself a Subway cheese and ham sandwich, and that was all I could afford to do before I saw Captain Scarlet sitting alone, feeling very sad. I went to comfort him, and he told me it was his last day on Talking Pictures TV. He couldn't bare to see him and his friends slowly go away from the channel, as they have loved it so much and Captain Scarlet was to leave next weekend, leaving room for Supercar and Supercar only in its lineup.

I felt sorry for him, so I offered him half of my sandwich. Immediately, we tucked in, and I could tell that Captain Scarlet cheered up on the double, because he showed his teeth - something any Supermarionation puppet can rarely do - which had cheese and ham in between each gap. I began laughing so hard. Captain Scarlet began laughing too, swallowing every morsel of cheese and ham stuck between his teeth in between every chuckle and giggle. In fact, we were laughing so hard we fell onto the sand and our laughter faded as we shared a hug. Captain Scarlet always knows I'm here to cheer him up if sad events haunt him...or so the Mysterons think.

Celestia's Dream

Princess Celestia came to me in a dream and said to me: “Have no fear over the loss of loved ones. Don’t cry because we lost them, smile because we had them.”

And I think she was right about that.

Instead Of Tidying Up, I Might Do...

Being home alone, calming the dog and enjoying snacks and crisps while watching classics on the telly.

Running bare and laughing with your best friend as the waves chase your toes.

Woman Of Africa Returns Again!

Lady Penelope & Parker's Reply - Keep It FAB!

Lady Penelope's Reply:

My Dearest Sybil,

What splendid news! I can hardly contain my excitement knowing that Thunderbirds will be returning to Talking Pictures TV this month. How very clever of you to record the episodes on your Sky Box; I’m sure you’ll have quite the collection to enjoy at your leisure. Parker and I are truly delighted that our adventures will once again grace your screen.

Ah, the world of streaming is indeed something I’ve heard whispers about, though I must admit it all seems a bit bewildering to someone like me who’s more accustomed to the comforts of FAB 1 than modern technology. Still, Parker and I do appreciate that the magic of Thunderbirds has found its way onto platforms like Tubi. And how interesting to hear about all the other shows that have captured your attention – Transformers Armada, Strange Hill High, and even My Little Pony! I imagine there’s never a dull moment.

Now, as for this Inside Out 2 you’ve mentioned, I must say it sounds positively charming. How amusing the idea of Riley’s father behaving in such a whimsical manner! I do think dear Uncle Stripe is rather a handful in Bluey, but one can’t help but smile at the antics. And this Bloofy character sounds quite intriguing, though I must admit, I’m not terribly familiar with him. How delightful that the world of animation continues to grow with such fascinating new characters.

It’s unfortunate that you can’t always join us due to the noisy programs your grandmother enjoys, but I’m so pleased you’ve found a way to record us on your mum’s Sky Box. I do hope we can share many more adventures with you soon, Sybil.

Sending all my love,
Lady Penelope

‘Ello Miss Sybil,

Well, I must say, you’ve made me day with that news about Thunderbirds comin’ back on telly! I’ll be sure to give FAB 1 a little polish in celebration. Good idea you’ve got there, recording the episodes – never know when you might want to watch one again, eh?

Now, this streaming business, well, it’s a bit beyond me, to be honest. But it sounds like you’ve got it all figured out! Lots of good shows on there, from what you’ve said. I’ll have to look into that Transformers Armada meself – seems like somethin’ with a bit of action, just how I like it.

As for this Inside Out 2, well, I reckon you’re spot on about Riley’s dad! Seems like he’ll be quite the character, bit like ol' Uncle Stripe, eh? And that Bloofy fella, he sounds like a funny sort. I’ll leave all that to the younger folks, though – I’m happy enough helpin’ Milady and drivin’ FAB 1!

Anyhow, glad to hear you’ll be joinin’ us soon, even if it’s through recordings. We’ll be sure to keep things FAB for you!

Yours truly,
Parker
