Waylaid on the Road to Riches

sunJoel and the 'Bots sun

One of the greatest of all local cable-spawned television shows, now an obsession of MiSTys everywhere--including at the Writer's Guild.

On the show, a lowly worker is blasted into outer-space by his boss, a fiendish mad scientist. There, he is forced to watch "cheesy movies" while "they monitor his mind," as the show's perky theme song tells us.

Left to languish in the recesses of deep space, Joel (the worker) manufactures little robotic friends out of some of his rocket's components.

The show consists of a screeing of one of these terrible films, viewed against the sillouette of Joel and the 'bots as they mock and taunt the movie. The heighth of post-modern entertainment.
