Alright, all you Big McLargeHuges, Fridge LargeMeats, Slab BulkHeads and Thick McRunFasts...mark April 14 on your calendars as Netflix relaunches the Satellite of Love with 14 new episodes.
(Joel) Hodgson is back on board overseeing all facts of the revival, with comedian Jonah Ray and actress Felicia Day also cast in the series. Community's Dan Harmon and Joel McHale have joined as writers for the revival alongside former Daily Show head writer Elliott Kalan. The show's original cast – including Mary Jo Pehl (Pearl Forrester), Bill Corbett (Crow T. Robot) and Kevin Murphy – will also reprise their roles. |
Interestingly, another article on AV Club has the following listed as cast, so whether Corbett & Murphy reprise Crow/Servo or are in fact Brain Guy and Bobo, great to see they're still involved.
Casting-wise, Bill Corbett will also be returning to the show to reprise his character of Brain Guy in a guest-starring role. Likewise, Corbett’s RiffTrax compatriot Kevin Murphy will appear as Professor Bobo, and, completing the late-season Mads trio, Mary Jo Pehl is set to guest star as Pearl Forrester. Hampton Yount and Baron Vaughn will take over in Corbett and Murphy’s roles as Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, and Felicia Day will co-star as a new branch of the Forrester family tree, Kinga Forrester. Jonah Ray will take over as Jonah, the newest jumpsuit-clad schmuck to be held prisoner and forced to watch bad movies aboard the Satellite of Love. |

In any case, the new cast has some big shoes to fill. Hope they're up to it.
one they do have is Manos, Hands of Fate, possibly the worst movie ever made...

I'm the "Mike"camp, but my favorite person on the show overall was the 2nd Crow, Bill Corbett.
Jim Mallon, on the other hand, is a whole different story.
It's a chore to get through the entire thing so far lol
Also rewatched Mitchell last weekend. Good ol Joe Don Baker, that fat slob...
