MAD DOCTOR OF THE WEEK
DR. FORRESTER
DR. FORRESTER
From the Mystery Science Theater 3000 series, Dr. Forrester is the main antagonist. The theme song for the show explains the entire plot with Forrester launching Joel or Mike (depending on the season) into space and forcing him to watch bad movies from the Satellite of Love. He has a henchmen named TV's Frank who always bumbles around, and in very early seasons had a fellow mad doctor help him with his experiments. When the actor of Forrester left the show, Forrester's mother (Pearl) took over as the mad doctor responsible for making Mike or Joel watch terrible movies.
The basic formula for the show was that it would begin with Forrester introducing the bad movie that Mike or Joel had to watch, then would send them into the theater with two robot friends to make fun of the movie (with Crow and Tom Servo). After watching the whole movie, it would wrap up the episode with Forrester observing the effects of either Mike or Joel and the robots.
The entire show was pretty much an excuse to make fun of bad movies, but it still had good characters and a brilliant (if silly) plot. Some facts about this show, this was actually created in Minnesota, a lot of the earlier seasons having Servo telling viewers to send any mail to Hopkins. Also, Trace Beaulieu (who played Dr. Forrester) also did the voice of Crow when he was on the show, with Bill Corbett taking over when he left the show.

WHERE'S WILY?
I'm off again searching for mad doctors! This time I recorded my explorations with my adventuring buddies Rick and Krem. It's broken up into seven parts.
We start off our adventure by going towards downtown Minneapolis.
Then it's to the Target store, then convinced to buy shoes.
We go down what I like to call Scientology Street.
Rick explores a water temple.
Free money from the bank for Krem.
There is a space worm in the sky here.
We conclude our adventures with an interview and a bite to eat.

This blog is hilarious, but I think it is also rich with ideas that can develop into a project later this semester. Keep up the research!
