Behind the Scenes[]
- The Mole People are named after TV producers Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, whose work was used three times on the show; in episodes K01 - Invaders from the Deep, K02 - Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars and K10 - Cosmic Princess. Clips from Thunderbirds were also used in promotional material for the show and the original pitch tape to The Comedy Channel.
- The MST3K FAQ states that the Mole People were discontinued because "The Mole People costumes were horribly hot under the studio lights, and the people (usually unpaid interns) who were inside of them rebelled and refused to continue the characters, for fear of asphyxiation."[3]
