Movie Pain: Medium - Silly, stupid camp
Riffing: Chuckle-Fest
Skits: Induced mostly smiles
The director of "Final Justice" (Greydon Clark, who also has a cameo here playing a director) offers up this ultra cheesy, gawd awful Charlies Angels rip off, starring guys like Alan Hale, Jim Backus (who absolutely humiliates himself), and Academy Award winner, Jack Palance.
The opening skits are wildly funny, with Crow's amnesia and Mike as Renegade, and solid theater riffing is evident early on. But the quality of the jokes and host segments -Fonzie; Aaron Spelling's house- take a nosedive as the episode rolls along.
Though I enjoyed Crow's twist on the "Seahunt" line; "By this time my lungs were aching for booze!" and Mike's pun, "It's a wet teacher contest!" - for the most part, our Angels couldn't finish what they started.
Host Segments
Intro: Crow thinks he has amnesia. Segment 1: The Mads are dressed as relief pitchers and turn the SOL crew into the cast of Renegade. Segment 2: Crow has a new 70's style screenplay. Segment 3: Mike is the Fonz. Segment 4: Aaron Spelling's house flies by. End: The Shame-O-Meter and the Mads are dressed for tennis. Stinger: Shine your love. Uggg.

Riff Explained
"My Roscoe barked, 'chow, chow' and it jock drilled his knickers" - Servo
This is a variation on a line written by Robert Leslie Bellem, author of the 'Dan Turner' hard-boiled detective stories. Published in magazines in the '30s & '40s, one actual line reads... "I pulled my roscoe from the hip. It said: 'Chow chow!' and belched two slugs through Mason's right leg."
"I'm going to put the suit on the aliens gave me" - Crow
This is in reference to the 70's William Katt series, "Greatest American Hero". Which is about a guy who gains superpowers when he dons a costume created by aliens.
Stuff & Nonsense
* The sisters Greer; Robin (the policewoman) and Liza (Trish) -Pictured right, as she looked in the 1990's- later wrote a scathing Hollywood tell-all titled, "You'll Never Make Love In This Town Again" - Though the truth of the stories told in the book have been called into question and lawsuits were filed. While Robin continued acting and worked on soap operas; it seems Liza worked as a call girl and had affairs with many famous personalities.
* Jack Palance's -musician- son Cody, plays the mustache-wearing fisherman. In 1998 Cody died from skin cancer at age 42
* Arthur Godfrey was a noted radio and television personality in the '40s and '50s, whose career hit the downward spiral when he fired popular singer Julius LaRosa, ON THE AIR! Explaining that the "Kid had lost his humility".
