Farewell Mr Phelps. And Captain Oveur.

Captain Oveur: Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?

Roger Murdock: We have clearance Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector Victor?
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Captain Oveur: Huh?

"Joey, have you ever....., you know...., seen a grown man...,. Oh, never mind, I'll leave that one alone. Your parents might get the wrong idea.

But has Scrapps ever grabbed hold of your leg and started rubbing up and down?"

I put on some tangerine lip gloss, and answered the door.

Yeah, he was funny with those perverted questions that he was asking the little boy who visited the cockpit in Airplane 1.

I'll never forget the theme song for the show, performed by Lalo Schifferin, who, several years later, did the music score for the martial arts film Enter the Dragon.

"She knew the unspeakable terror the Red Planet could unleash!"

Yeah, and she had big boobies too.

(Also notice how the male, Peter, is holding her up by telekenetics and not actually physically touching her!!!! AMAZING!!!!)

It is also important to dress 1950's casual when going to Mars to fight an evil genius.

That Vest is actually Laser proof, and you don't know what she could hide under that skirt!!!!!!

Radioactive grasshoppers. In the 50s, nuclear energy made more money as a plot device for movies than it did as an energy source.

AT 7:40, see grasshoppers walk across a photo of a Chicago landmark.
