I guess they ought retitle On Dangerous Groud to Dances with Puking
Polar Bears, I can't comment on the secret rituals, if I knew about
them they wouldn't be a secret, would they?
But you're forgetting about the many other fine reality movies: Plan
9 from Outer Space, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Muppet Babies
Meet Freddy Kruger.

Don't forget Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama, Slave Girls From
Beyond Infinity, Toxic Avenger, and of course, The Class Of Nuke-Em
High…

And I forgot to add one other thing. Planet of the Apes TV series, and
the Planet of the Apes Action Figures(they're not dolls, da**it!)

"Ape has killed AAAAPE!"

"Human see, Human do"
"I never met an ape I didn't like"
"Take your stinking paws off me you da** dirty ape!"
(from Planet of the Apes)
"The apes have taken over Ape Control"
(from Birth of the Planet of the Apes

So sorry, must differ re: POTApes Teevee show. Uhhhhggh!! (This from a man
who will watch any tripe so long as it's accompanied by multiple homebrews
and too much popcorn well-lubed with Orville Redenbachers butter-flavored
grease.) 😉

I think the best episode was when the humans show the apes how to make a
hang glider using sticks and canvas.

AAARRGHHH! I actually remember that one! Knock it off!

How about when the Humans show the apes how to do irrigation?
John
<grin>
Don't forgat the episode when they make the magnifying lens out of sand.

AAAHHHHHGGGGHHH!
Take That! (throwing a halibut at you)

All of those are great movies, but I don't believe they can be classified
as classics until they are featured on Mystery Science Theatre.

Ahhh
But were they reviewed on MST3k they would, of necessity, be shortened to
about 30 minutes apiece.
Rather, I study the reviews of none other than (drumroll please..) Joe Bob
Briggs. Most "B" flicks ("B" as in garBage) are covered in detail. Then I
go down to the local video rental and pick up the tape with the most
entertaining cover.
Most unlikely that the true B-classics would be done on MST3k, I think
they primarily take movies that even I find lacking in taste (amazing) and
impart some semblance of watchability via their smarta** comments.

Ah – Joe Bob, a man of infinite taste, I like him well, I like your method
of choosing movies it certainly beats relying on Siskel & Ebert.

Siskel and Ebert, Hah! I laugh! Those two dreary, lifeless clods could
have made millions had they only come to fisticuffs on occasion. Yeah,
beat the snot out of each other in a WWF-type affair at the end of each
program:
"Ebert you fat, bloated, wasted mass of quivering jelly *WHAP* 'Jurassic
Park' was only a tawdry series of special effects *PILE DRIVER* strung
together in what is only vaguely recognizable *KNEE TO THE GROIN* as a
plot!"
Ebert comes off the turnbuckle, smashing Siskel beneath him. Crowd goes
wild as blood rivulets seep from beneath Rogers flab and begin to pool.
"Gene, I told you that 'JP' was a comment on the morality of playing God
utilizing modern technology!"
Siskel is carried away in a garbage baggie…

Sam,
<rofl> That would certainly improve their ratings, and bring the wrath
of Congress down on the show <g>.

Brian,

Don't get me started on that pack of weasels. Mebbe we could have ol'
Roger do a swan dive off the capitol building and nail Congress (have to
do two or three to get the whole House side).
