Back in the 70’s a show/series ran on a Baltimore station. Basically they took an old Science Fiction serial (Robot Monster, I think) and gave it the MST3K treatment. Instead of spoken humorous commentary though, they ran the commentary on the bottom of the screen like a dubbed film. They also looped portions of the film to make the characters dance. I believe they used other video effects to make it funnier as well. Does anybody remember this series?
