Professor T.
Season 1, episode 10
I really love this show.
I hope to find the British version with Ben Miller someday, but the Belgium version is wonderful. At least is suits me.

When one has eight tabs open doing research, sometimes a buffoon can click the X for the wrong tab and lose everything they spent twenty minute typing. Sigh. One more try. I'll make it shorter. I'll leave out the vowels. Th kds wll ndrstnd t! (DON'T DIS THE KIDS!)
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Season 8 - November 22, 1997 (season 9 if one counts the KTMA-TV season as 1)
Episode 21 - Time Chasers (1994)
Nick has a plane. What kind? I don't remember. The plane is interfaced with a Commodore 64 that enables it to time travel. Tom Servo (Kevin Murphy) quips about it being an Apple II. He is a robot. He should know about such things.
Later, Nick destroys the program enabling the Commodore 64's to control time travel by erasing the disks. Did I say "erase?" He deletes the files using an IBM MS DOS computer.
But never mind that. These MS DOS disks would never have worked in a Commodore 64 and vice versa.
What's more, computer savvy Tom Servo refers to them as 8-inch disks. Just click the link to Wikipedia to learn about 8" diskettes. In a nutshell, IBM Compatibles and the Commodore 64 used 5-inch diskettes. So did the Apple II.
I suppose he could have written the code on the IBM in C and then transferred it to the Commodore using the serial port (???) and then used a C compiler on the Commodore to generate the actual computer code (???) That sounds like a challenge to me.
The whole Crow going back in time to help Mike realize his dreams was very funny. He succeeds, only to have Mike replaced by his older brother, who is a bit rougher around the edges than Mike. When Joel handed over the reigns to Mike Nelson, I use to refer to Mike as "white bread." I did not adjust to change as well as I would later would. I was 38.
Finally, I would like to say I believe Tom Servo was adding to the joke. Much like with the bots show hormonal fevered feelings toward women in beach movies or women wrestling. So I just wasted a time explaining why it is technically wrong when it was a joke.
