I predict this to be a divisive question, but I'm asking it anyway to distract myself from *vaguely gestures at everything*
Which era is your favorite?

@Phorm I'm a bit sad nobody voted for Jonah-era, 'cause they really ain't bad at all, and they were just hitting their stride when #$@%!#$!# Netflix canceled 'em, but yeah, I started in '90 with Joel and I've still got a soft spot for his sleepy-eyed-uncle charm. Mike is perfectly good too, though, and I do love Pearl. There's really no specific era I hate--though TBH I don't think anyone handled host segments as well as Joel. Some of the Pearl-era segments have great riff and great characterization but the jokes are just FLAT. ("Send... Mike... Down!")

@zebratron2084 @Phorm General agreement, though I have to confess that the Time Shenanigan host segments in the Pearl-era Prince of Space are probably my favorite ones ever, and Find The Lady from Hamlet is on my honorable mention list perpetually. There was just perhaps a bit more dross between the bits of gold.

@Phorm @zebratron2084 I.... I still measure volume in units of turkeys.

We'd all be measuring volume in units of Turkeys... If it weren't for that elusive Robert Denby!!

@Soreth @zebratron2084
The Mike-era host segment where the bots react to the Gumby short has to be one of the top ten for me.
That, and, as corny as it is: The attempt to lure Mike into saying "Lost in Space".

Hell, maybe I'm just broke in the head. I even liked Turkey Volume Guessing Man.
