Objectively, this episode was a solid 4. Some listeners may like it, some may not. From a personal stand point, I loved it--5 stars. It was brilliantly hoaky. I truly enjoyed all three characters. It may not meet up to every fan of Mystery Theater's taste, but I liked it.

Thanks for flagging this unusual episode. I share your assessment. Kind of loopy, but in a good way. One personal note: having grown up in the south, I thought the southern accents from two of the characters were pretty good. There was another episode based on the same legend, but I don’t have the episode number handy. Thanks again for flagging this episode.

While I found the episode somewhat entertaining - I found the last 20 minutes of the recording fascinating. There is an excerpt from a new talk show host - "Larry King" and he is interviewing "General Lawrence Snowden" (Chief of Staff United States Marine Corps and talking bluntly about whether or not the Viet Nam war was a mistake. In light of our current exit from Afghanistan - it's almost unbelievable to hear people talking so bluntly.
