MST3K Boggy Creek II part two

Synopsis
For nearly ten years, the swamps of Texarkana, Arkansas, have been quiet. But now, residents are once again having sightings of the Boggy Creek Creature, only this time, the creature is very aggressive. After numerous townfolk are attacked, anthropologist Brian C. Lockhart (Charles B. Pierce) is called in to investigate the reports. Lockhart and three of his students head down to the muddy banks of the Sulfur River to look for answers. * Even though this movie is entitled Boggy Creek II, it is actually the third movie of the Boggy Creek series. The producer of the original Boggy Creek didn't have anything to do with the first Boggy Creek II, so he decided to ignore that one and make this as the sequel. * Victor Williams played the "Little Creature". Most recently he starred as Deacon on "The King of Queens."

That is what happens when you walk in on Sara Palin fan club meeting at the bait/tackle store, they all belong to the Tea Party dental plan also.

This is probably my favorite MST3K episode. I used to have it on VHS from when I recorded it off T.V. But I wore it out, now I have it on DVD now. The entire football game scene is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at an MST3K episode, or anything for that matter.
