He just took that Seinfeld scene at face value? Funny.
Can't show 43 episodes in one day...
I was so obsessed with this show in elementary school that my classmates nicknamed me Ralph. I hadn't seen it in for nearly 15 years when it came out on DVD. Revisting it, I came to two conclusions. Robert Culp was really entertaining and Connie Selleca was really hot.
I just saw "Divorce Venusian Style," the third-season premiere where Ralph and Bill get taken up in the alien ship and meet the "green guys" at last. Or rather, one "green guy," who actually was green and had just about the worst alien-makeup job I've ever seen. The alien had a full-head mask that looked totally plastic and had awful mouth articulation. Design-wise, it looked like a Ferengi as rendered by Dr. Seuss. And the footage on the viewscreens as the ship moved through space was stock FX footage from Cosmos. I remember that.
Really, I'm surprised by how much of this show I remember, even some of the songs. ("Operation: Spoilsport" was the first place I ever heard "Eve of Destruction.") I guess I was really into it and watched the episodes multiple times.

Sure you can. Splitscreen, baby!
He thought the George answering machine song was an original? I guess that's not as bad as wondering why John Mellencamp is copying a Jessica Simpson song or why Sting is stealing from Sean Combs, since Joey Scarbury was a one-hit wonder, but still...
Isn't that the one where Ralph shrunk himself and lost the instruction book a second time?
Me too. I was quite surprise when I was older and found out it was an anti-Vietnam War anthem.
^ You know, I think I had the 45 back in the day.
It's long gone now, of course, but there's always mp3's.
And 99¢ later, there it is!

I will forever hate this show as I was expecting a Twilight Zone marathon and saw this instead. I screamed "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" in fury. Robert Culp is always awesome, though.
Good lord, stirring up long dormant memories here, I had that too along with the soundtrack to Grease and a 45 of Hall and Oates Your Kiss is on my List. What can I say I guess my tastes as a kid were on the mellow side.
^ Compared to what I listen to now (95% of the time), very mellow.
Also having memories of thinking how hot Connie Selleca was then (me as a 13-15 year old then), and overlaying my adult "ideas" on top of them now.

That brown 1973 AMC Matador sure got a workout during the show's entire run.
Not to mention the "stock footage alert", which was always a high point of BSG in those days too.
