ST:TNG in John Ritter's movie Stay Tuned

JamesSmith

Lieutenant Commander
I know that Stay Tuned is the first movie to contain ST:TNG characters in a small skit. Stay Tuned is released two years before Star Trek: Generations.
 
I can still see John Ritter's impersonation of Picard, bending back with the bald cap on...soo funny.
 
Man that was an awful movie.

The only "bright" part of it being, of course, Ritter.

I'm sure there's a video of the STNG sequence on the net somewhere.

Two years before Next Generation?

Stay Tuned came out in 1992.

Next Generation premiered in 1987 - FIVE years before the film came out.

The First MOVIE to contain Star Trek TNG characters. Two years before the MOVIE, Star Trek: Generations. ;)
 
I made some screencaps from my dvd a few years ago.

Yes, I own this movie. :o

Hey, I'm a John Ritter fan. :D
 
I had no idea this existed. What is the name of this so I can rent it?

Or will I be sorry if I do? :lol:

Stay Tuned. It's worth watching once, for the hell-themed spoofs of countless movies and TV shows.

Depending on how many of the spoofed shows the studio owned, I gotta wonder how long it took to get any needed licensing agreements in place before they could shoot the first scene. :)
 
I actually saw this flick when it came out. It was twisted enough that I liked it. My favorite spoof - in addition to the TNG spoof - was "Driving Over Miss Daisy."

I don't think you need permission to do parodies of copyrighted works. Parodies fall under "fair use."
 
I'm going to have to go find this now. I love a good parody and John Ritter was always good.
