The Mysti Show // Ministry Of Mayhem

[si]

I was up early enough yesterday to actually see these two shows. I've heard others rave about The Mysti Show (and after seeing it, I hope this was knowing irony) but was totally embarrassed by it. Was it a poorly acted sketch show? Was it a poorly executed magazine show? Why did they choose two boys with no to little acting expertise what-so-ever? Is Mysti's mum a) Jon Pertwee in drag or b) Toadfish's mother slimmed down a bit?

Anyway, it was shockingly bad. So I begrudgingly flicked over to the MoM... which has transformed itself from dire and desperate to a sort of post-SM:TV retro Parallel 9 Ghost Trainy Saturday morning show piece of genius (even if they're still showing Sabrina The Middle Aged Witch -- and the series without Harvey in it, too!).

So, my questions.

• Which do you prefer?
  
• What am I not getting about Mysti?
  
• Is it OK to have a crush on Steve from MoM?

That is all.

Which do you prefer?

neither — although i would settle for ministry of mayhem.

What am I not getting about Mysti?

you are getting it, it's a rubbish, badly acted sketch show for 9 year old girls [if you are a nine year old girl, then i'm afraid i cannot help]

Is it OK to have a crush on Steve from MoM?

of course! he's fucking gorgeous.

Validated! He looks like my boyfriend.

But badly acted sketch shows for nine year old girls do appeal to me.

This doesn't.

The Mysti Show makes completely no sense at all, but I don't mind watching it. Mysti is quite pretty if I remember correctly.

I've never gone for those Live & Kicking/SM:TV/MOM style shows. Not even when I was a nipper.

I've never seen either but I think I saw the two men on BBLB- am I right? They seemed funny and charming.

Could have been Dick & Dom?

Yes, perhaps that's what I mean. I am an Old Person.
