To round out our Turkey-day collection of bad movie riff'rs, we bring you Mary Jo Pehl!

Mary Jo wrote for Mystery Science Theater for most of it's 10 year run and appeared numerous times in one role or another. She was most often as heard rather than seen as the all knowing "Magic Voice", but took the lead as prime torturer, Mrs. Pearl Forrester, in final years of MST3k.

She can now be heard and seen, at least her silhouette anyway, on Cinematic Titanic.

I agree with Mary Jo, Trace was certainly a tough act to follow.

The other thing that changed was that when SCI FI picked up MST3K, the movies were all sci-fi flicks (I suppose to keep with the theme of the network). However, some of my all-time favorite episodes were with movies and shorts that were not in the sci-fi genre (in both the Joel and Mike host eras). Go figure.
