Joe Bob Briggs - Broadcasting from the comfort of a dingy trailer park, good old country boy Joe Bob Briggs (played by John Bloom) hosted Monstervision on the TNT cable network from 1993-2000. Although, on the surface, Joe Bob was perceived as beer-drinking trailer trash, he intelligently discussed the actors, movie directors, plotlines and background of the movies he presented. During the airing of Back to the Future (1985) Joe Bob dressed in a white lab coat and discussed the phenomenon of time travel. However, when he asked Reno  the Mail Lady, (and later Rusty the Mail Lady played by Renner St. John) to stick around so he could explain wormholes to her, the craziness of his character came through. Joe Bob's common touch and Reno's voluptuous bust made them very popular with men in prison ("We love a captive audience") who faithfully watched the program and sent in letters to express their opinions. At the beginning of each program, Joe Bob ranked the amount of hostility and violent action in each of the films - his Drive-In Totals. (for example 1 decapitation, 3 fist fights; 5 explosions; and 7 zombie attacks).  Joe Bob's program was also known as Monstervision and Joe Bob's Last Call (1995 third season title) and Joe Bob's Hollywood Saturday Night and Monstervision (1999 sixth season title). The Joe Bob Briggs character debuted in 1987 on Joe Bob's Drive-In Theater which ran until 1994. John Bloom made cameo appearances in the films The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986), Casino (1995), and Face/Off (1997).
