The Adventures of Sinbad

"Still Life" [S] *** An artist turns women into stone statues with a pair of magic gloves.

Almost Live! -

Sketch Show on Comedy Central. "Guy and Gizmo" was a parody of Mann and Machine where the robot girl ran on an extension cord, and it kept pulling out, and she'd shut off. Cute.

Andromeda

[A] * Rommie, the android version of the ship's AI is a regular character and sometimes acts robotic. "The Mathematics of Tears" [A] **1/2 An entire ship is crewed with androids, which are shut down at one point, including a very good female freeze. "Pieces of Eight" [A] - Contains two deactivations by Rommie. Not among her best, but well worth it.

Angel

"Happy Anniversary" [F] * A physicist invents a machine to freeze time, which is then subverted by demons who try to use it to freeze the world forever. Very disappointing, only one woman is visible and she's very hard to see in the dark. "Tomorrow" [F] * Time stops along a highway in one scene. One woman is clearly visible behind the wheel of a car, frozen while applying makeup and chatting on a cellphone.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

"Doll Maker" [M] * A young girl turns partway into a doll. A friend is looking for her and steps through a magic door in the attic. In the dining room of this hallway, she sees her aunt through the window, and realizes she's in the dollhouse. Also in the dining room is her missing friend, who looks like a porcelain doll. Her eyes are big and blue and staring, and half of her mouth is frozen. The girl goes back to get help, but the magic door is missing. She pounds on the blank wall and sees that her hands are starting to pale and look doll-like. She goes to find the dollhouse's attic, but finds it blocked by a heavy bookcase. She goes to ask her friend for help, but her friend silently pulls her left hand out of its socket -- as it is completely porcelain. The girl goes back to the bookcase and shoves it over, then checks upstairs. She helps her friend up to the attic, but by now, her friend is staring blankly and moving stiffly. Her hand even falls out of its socket again. She sets her in a corner (the friend stares blankly and doesn't move even), and the girl opens the magic door in the dollhouse's attic. She sees the yard below, as she would see it from the real attic, and, lacking any other recourse, she falls through it with her friend. They reunite with the girl's aunt and uncle, and show no ill effects of the dollhouse.

Are you being Served? - British comedy

[M] * In one episode, an employee hides out as a mannequin in the store.

The Avengers

"Return of the Cybernauts" [A] - Aside from the title characters themselves(who have appeared several other times), the beautiful and independent Emma Peel is turned into an obedient blank-faced automaton by a remote control watch that she is tricked into wearing by a revenge-seeking mad scientist. "You'll Catch Your Death" [A] - Christopher Lee plays a scientist who manufactures robot doubles of people, including (we learn at the end) Steed and Tara King. "Super Secret Cypher Snatch" [H][F] {***} Tara King goes undercover in an office to find out why things are being stolen. Turns out that the crooks have a gas which hypnotizes people like statues. At the end of the show, the entire office and all of the babes are frozen. Great shot of Tara frozen.

Babylon 5

"The Long Dark" [F] * #205 A girl is found frozen in a cryo-chamber. "Points of Departure" [F] * #201 A pilot pauses a holo-letter from his girlfriend (brief, but I like it.) "Into the Fire" [H][I] - #406 Sheridan and Delenn are put into a trance state by the First Ones. Furthermore,in Sheridan's trance he talks to a representative of the Vorlons who takes the form of a woman frozen solid in a block of ice. "Deconstruction of Falling Stars" [F] *1/2 #422 Delenn and the others are recreated holographically and paused.

Batman

"Instant Freeze" [I] - Mr. Freeze uses his unique weapon on the duo. No female freezes as far as I know. "Green Ice" [I] - A few more male freezes, including Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara. "The Impractical Joker" [M] 1/2 The Joker has Robin coated with wax to turn him into a giant candle. By the time Batman gets out of his death-trap to rescue Robin, the Boy Wonder is a solid statue (though the wax is translucent and you can see him underneath the coating). "Ice Spy" [I] - Mr. Freeze is back and again makes ice statues of the duo. "The Foggiest Notion" [F] *** Batgirl is paralyzed into a mannequin by a gas. Several great poses, including one where she's chained to a wall. "Catwoman's Dressed to Kill" [M] ** During a fashion awards presentation, living mannequins are used as decorations. Also one of the better bat-bondage scenes, if you're into that. "The Joker's Flying Saucer(?)" [F] * The Joker has a time-stop device. Alfred gets it and uses it on one of Joker's female henchmen. "(?)" [F] - The Mad Hatter manages to encase Batman in plaster (however, the coating is pretty crude and you can make out little of the shape of the Caped Crusader under the plaster). "The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra" [F] ** Batgirl (and the duo) are turned into 2-D posters of themselves. They freeze just before and just after the transformations. "Deep Freeze" [I] - Miss Iceland is kidnapped and frozen by Mr. Freeze (companion episode to "Green Ice" above). "The Zodiac Crimes" [S] - Some of Joker's henchmen are disguised as statues. Joker's henchwoman Venus is disguised as a statue, and stays perfectly still during a fight scene.

Beastmaster

"The Burning Forest" [F] ** This episode contains a scene in which the Sorceress runs into a cave to find her bird, and is frozen motionless by the Black Apparition. Fairly short. "Turned to Stone" [S] ** Dar is trying to find his family who have all been turned into various animals. He finds his brother, now a goat, in a village ruled by the demoness Yamira. Among Yamira's powers is the ability to turn people to stone by gazing at them, which she promptly does to a villager who angers her. About fifteen minutes in or so, Dar's arm is petrified just after finding a tree with golden pears. Later, Dar's female companion, Arina, is petrified, and in the final act, the witch is turned to stone. Immediately after the witch is turned to stone, we get to see both Arina and the villagers return to flesh. The petrification and release sequences are very quick, under a second, and the statues are not the best, although the writer and director weren't shy about having the characters walk thru the statue garden.

Beauty Show, The $1.98

[M][A] - The premise of the show is to have ordinary house wives come on and compete in a mock beauty pageant. One lady sticks out in my mind first of all because she was very beautiful, but secondly she did a fabulous robot mime routine to Donna Summers song "Last Dance". Needless to say she won and collected her $1.98 from Rip Taylor at the end of the show. Her routine started with a very nice freeze that lasts about 10 seconds and ends with her frozen as well.

Benny Hill Show

[F] ** In one episode, Benny comes across a TV remote control that can freeze time when you push the stop button. He uses it on a tropical island with 3 babes, but after they are frozen, he don't seem to be interested anymore. I suppose that with the huge number of Benny Hill shows that were made, it will be tough to find this one. [H][F] - Another sketch had Benny as Dracula, trying to snack on several hypnotised women and being thwarted in various slapstick ways. One woman was frozen in a glass box labeled "Emergency Use Only".

Between the Lions

"Hug, Hug, Hug" [S] - One episode includes a variant of the Galatea myth. The lions (puppets, I believe, this is a kid's show) are trying to help out a lovelorn Pygmalion by encouraging him to "h! ug!" the statue, and when he hugs it, it comes to life. Like I said, it's a kids show, and the statue isn't incredibly good... but it's not bad either, and you see a lot of it while they're all carefully pronouncing three-letter words, and the transform at the end was pretty well done.

Bewitched

-Samantha often freezes people. The best examples of this are listed below: "Love is Blind" [F] - During a wedding ceremony Sam freezes the entire room. Great close-up of the bride frozen stiff. "Samantha the Dressmaker" [F] - In Paris, Sam and Endora freeze four models and look at the fashions they are wearing as if they were mannequins. "Baby's first Paragraph" [F] - Baby Tabitha is given the gift of gab by Endora. In order for Darrin to get past waiting reporters on the front lawn, Sam briefly freezes them, including some attractive females. "Charlie Harper, Winner" [F] - Joanna Moore is frozen mid-sentence while admiring Sam's new mink coat. Unusually long freeze scene, with various close-ups and full body shots. "How Not to Lose Your Head to Henry VIII" [F] *** Samantha is frozen by another witch. Good view of her frozen in a gesturing pose before being zapped back to 16th Century London. "Serena's Richcraft" [F] -This episode has an unusally long Serena freeze. Sam freezes her and takes her place to sabotage a date with a rich mortal. "Bewitched, Bothered, and Baldoni" [S] - Sam's mom animates a HOT statue of Venus, and then she repetrifies. The actress is painted redto portray the statue. "Samantha Goes South for a Spell" [F] {***1/2) Samantha is simply an innocent victim of mistaken identity (Serina is the real troublemaker here), and is only trying to explain: (Sam)"Well, if you'd just quiet down..." (enraged old bat) "OH NO! YOU quiet down!!"... then one solid Sam. She's caught in mid-word with her index finger out trying to make a point. The subsequent time-teleport spell lasts almost a minute.

Beyond Westworld

"Westworld Destroyed" [A] - The introduction and only appearance of Jan. "My Brother's Keeper" [A] - Quaid attempts to replace Pamela with a robot duplicate.

Big Wolf on Campus

"She Will, She Will Rock You"? [S] - Another Fox Family series. One has a Medusa storyline, may have some good scenes. Medusa gets stoned at the end. "Stalk Like an Egyptian" [F] - A revived Mummy freezes the Senior class as they are prepearing to take a picture.

Bionic Woman/Six Million Dollar Man

"Fembots in Las Vegas" [A][F] *** Nice scene at the end where the control panel is damaged and all the fembots freeze in position. "Kill Oscar" [A] - Apparently involves fembots similar to Las Vegas episode.

Birds of Prey

"Feat of Clay" [S] - #12 Citizens of New Gotham are being turned into clay. " Devil's Eyes" [H] - #13 Harley Quinn acquires the power to hypnotize others with her eyes.

Bizarre

[A] ** Obscure cable comedy show starring John Byner. One brief sketch features Byner and a sweet young thing as a robot magician and his assistant. [A] - Another skit involves John as an inventor of a blender who is no longer upset at losing an invention contest to the inventor of a sexy female robot when he finds out that his blender also controls the robot! [S] - One sketch was based on that old 'park statues come to life and all they want to do is poop on the pigeons' joke with some nice bronze painted statue actors. [M] - They also did a skit where bikini-clad models portrayed 'furniture', posed as a lamp, chair, bed, etc in an apartment for rent.

Black Scorpion

"No Stone Unturned" [S] *1/2 Black Scorpion is coated with plaster and turned into a statue. "Crime Time" [F] ** A villian has a timestop device. Uses it to stop the heroine during a fight scene.

Blake's 7

"Project Avalon" [A] * Fembot duplicate is made of one of the crew members. Not all that convincing. "Redemption" [A] - Various fembots with silver dots on their heads.

Brimstone

"Mourning After" [H] {**} Ash, an escaped soul from Hell, seduces the hero's ex-wife and then uses her hypnotically frozen body as a human shield when Zeke (the hero) comes calling.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

"Dead Things" [A][M] **1/2 Buffy's nerd nemeses invent a "cerebral dampener" for the sole purpose of making women into love slaves. They successfully test it out by mind-controlling the main nerd's hot ex-girlfriend. The girlfriend, in a french maids uniform, stands at attention, holding a wine bottle, and, at times, talks monotone to the guys. "I Was Made to Love You" [A] - Android April can't find her creator-boyfriend. Good wind-down scene at the end. "Intervention" [A] - Spike gets April's creator to build him an android Buffy. "Bargaining I" [A] ** This season premier episode features a reprise of the Buffy-bot, including a scene where she is in pieces (head played by the real actress). "Villain" [F] - Willow's girlfriend is killed and she wants revenge. She goes to the magic shop, freezes Anya, and absorbs magic from books. Anya's eyes are still moving and she is shaking a bit. Later in the episode Willow freezes Zander and Buffy. They stop in their tracks, but it isn't very well done.

Candid Camera

[M] * Figure skater Tara Lipinski poses as a mannequin in a sporting goods store and CC films people's reaction. The angle and bulky clothing keep this from being a desirable scene, but it was a nice idea.

Carol Burnett Show

[A] - John Byner and Harvey Korman play scientists who have built robot women, Carol and Vicki Lawrence respectively. Vicki is a KNOCKOUT in this sketch.

Charlies Angels

"Mother Goose is Running for His Life" [M] *** Season 2 Episode 42. Kris poses as a life size doll. Many close-up scenes as she freezes in place to avoid being noticed.

Charmed

"Wedding From Hell" [F] * This show has been very disapointing, considering there is at least one freeze scene in every episode. Some Bridesmaid/Demon girls finally get frozen in this episode, but it's very brief. "That 70's Episode" [F] ** Piper and Prue are frozen by Little Piper after the sisters travel back in time to 1975 to escape a warlock. "Deja Vu All Over Again" [F] - The devil's sorcerer traps the witches in a deadly time-loop in order to defeat the Charmed Ones. "Ms. Hellfire" [F] **1/2 A wanna-be witch under the sisters protection is frozen several times for being annoying. At one point they hide the frozen witch by putting a blanket over her. "Size Matters" [S] *** The three sisters (and a fourth girl) are shrunken and encased in clay. Lots of stiffness and talking out of the corners of their mouths. "Bride and Gloom" [F][I] {**} An ASFR trifecta: Prue gets magically immobilized, an innocent woman and Prue's evil twin are frozen in ice, and Piper freezes in time an evil sorceress - all in the same episode. "Oh My Goddess" [S] - Paige is turned into a very lifelike statue. Two part season 5 finale. "Ordinary Witches" [F] ** Episode 711. Phoebe and Piper's powers are transferred to ordinary people. The girl with Piper's power freezes the two a couple of times. Looked like a special effect freeze, though.

Charmings, The

[F] **1/2 Series about Snow White and Prince Charming being transported to modern days. In this episode the evil step-mother freezes Snow on the couch in order to speek privately with the Prince. She sits there throughout the entire scene, and you can see her for most of the time (and she did a great job).

Cheers

"Executive Sweet"? [F] ** Rebecca frozen with shock. (It's better than you'd think.)

Dave Allen at large

In the pilot episode, Johnny pauses a vision from war-era Vietnam to find a missing person. Most of the episodes since have had a similar freeze scene as well.

Deadly Games

"Evil Shirly" [S][F] ** Loren is frozen by the game character Shirly Freeze. Looks like they used a pretty decent frost-covered mannequin for the job.

Diagnosis Murder

"Murder by the Hour" [S] ** A girl comes into the hospital in gold paint. Aparently, some "James Bond" roleplay got a little out of hand. "Delusions of Murder" [H] * A psychiatrist hypnotizes one of his female patients in order to frame her for his wife's murder. At one point, he gives her a command that makes her freeze while he gives her instructions.

Dick Tracy

"Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome" [F] ** The old TV series from around 1950. Someone invents a gas that freezes people. Of course, crooks use it to rob a bank. Unfortunately, back then bank tellers were all men. One lady gets frozen, its worth seeing.

Different World, A

"Tales from the Exam Zone" [F] *** Sinbad acts like Rod Serling in this Twilight Zone parody episode, with the power to freeze the action at will. He uses this power rather frequently and to good effect, particularly around the show's female characters.

Discovery Kids Story Studio

"The Masquerade" [M] ***1/2 When she buys an "image" that slowly turns her into a mannequin, Fanasia must confront her own shallow feelings about glamour. Excellent story line and acting. She becomes more and more stiff and shiny as she changes into a mannequin.

Doctor Who

"Space Museum" [F] ** Early bw episode where The Doctor and crew find themselves on display in a museum. Two of them are nice looking girls. "Androids of Tara" [A] ** Medieval-like society with androids. One is made to look like the Doctor's assistant Romana. Good robotic acting. "The Android Invasion" [A] * A town is populated by androids to practice for an invasion. "Arc in Space" [F] * Humans are stored on a space station. The Doctor's assistant Sarah is processed by mistake. "The Armageddon Factor" [H] ** Astra (who later plays Romana) is controled by a device on the neck. "Enlightenment" [F] *** Tegan is frozen in time by an alien "Eternal". She is frozen with eyes open in mid-sentence, but subsequent shots show her eyes closed. Still a good scene, though. "Face of Evil" [F] ** Janis thorns freeze and kill. Leela is frozen (but doesn't die). "Four to Doomsday" [A][H][F] * A race of androids is on their way to Earth. Nyssa is hypnotized for her robotic conversion. Later, a female android is deactivated in a fight. "The Horns of Nimon" [F] * "Sacrifices" are frozen and stored. "Logopolis" [H] * Nyssa is controlled by a bracelet. "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" [H][F] ** Chinese guy hypnotizes girls so his master can use their life essence. Fair amount of blank staring. "Time-Flight" [F] * Nyssa is frozen by a foamy cloud. "Time and the Rani" [F] **** Mel is frozen by a bat creature and stored in a cave. (Very well done).

Electric Company

[A] - Skip Hinnant and Judy Graubert did several sketches about Roy the Toy Boy and Joy the Toy Girl.

Entertainment Tonight

[M] * ET once did a feature on mannequins, just before the release of Mannequin 2. Showed a girl posing as a sculptor made a clay version of her.

Fame - The Series

"Expose" [M] *** The song "mannequin" is performed by Gene Anthony Ray, with Lori Singer as the mannequin. She is posed in a display area, and then begins to walk/dance in a mechanical fashion. Very nice "frozen between each movement" look. Song lyrics are quite apropriate for the mannequin lovers in the group, and can be found here. See also the Fame Holliday Special.

Fantasy Island

[M] **1/2 Barbi Benton and others are mannequins who come to life, refreeze. [M] ** In another episode, a ventriloquist dummy (female) comes to life.

Fantasy Island (New Series)

As they confront her, she uses magic to encase them in a substance that is either ice or crystal. It's hard to see the victims, though. "Look At The Princess PT 2: I Do, I Think" [S] **1/2 A princess must spend 80 cycles as a metalic statue. Good transformation effects.

First Wave

"Twice Bess'd" [F] - Aliens store human husks in racks, naked except for the harnesses holding them in place. Later, Traci Lords (the ex-teen porn star) is seen frozen in a tube with a suspiciously large breathing hose in her mouth.

Flash, The

"Captain Cold" [I] - Involved Captain Cold and his freezing gun. Several very detailed victims frozen in mid motion and one excellent scene where the Flash gets hit by the ray gun and freezes solid.

Friday the 13th, the series

"A Friend to the End" [S] ** A sculptor lady possesses the 'Shard of Medusa'. She has models pose for her and turns them into stone statues. One excellent transformation scene at the beginning. Note that this episode has another plot about a boy who meets a ghost and it starts off with that plot, so don't be fooled. "13 o'clock" [F] * A bad guy has a watch that stops time. No good statue scenes though. That watch seems to show up in lots of shows! "The Long Road Home" [M] ** A guy kills people and stuffs them. One is a girl posing. "Wax Magic" [M] * Takes place in a carnival House of Wax. Some of the figures appear to be real people posing.

[A] - Michael Shannon plays an android cop.

Get Smart

"It Takes One to Know One" [A][F] ** This episode features a female robot that Hymie falls in love with. She gets frozen at the end. "Our Man in Leotards" [F] ** KAOS invents a drug called immobilo that paralyzes people, including 99. "Shipment to Beirut" [M] * KAOS invents a spray that turns people into mannequins, killing them.

The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.

"The Mother Muffin Affair" [M] - Mother intends to make wax figures of Solo and April. Pretty much is a waste of time. There's one shot of a bunch of people standing still and that's it.

Good Heavens

[F] - Single season series from 1976. Mr. Angel grants wishes to those who have performed a good deed. He always proves that he's and angel by snapping his fingers and stopping time. According to an email from someone who worked on the show, "the freeze was largely accomplished by hiring extra talent players who were capable of standing still for 30 seconds". If only someone would rerun this series.

Goosebumps

"Be Careful What you Wish For" [S] {**} Season2, Episode5. A teenage female (about 16) gets turned to stone at the end of the show. The scene was extremely brief and not overly revealing, but good nevertheless.

Happy Days

"My Favorite Orkin" [F] {****} The episode where Mork (yes, Robin Williams), pays a visit to Ritchie and Fonzie. He freezes every character in this classic episode, and many of them make great statues. "Mork Returns" [F] {****} This is the TV sequel to the above episode and is even better than the first. Mork gives Ritchie and the Fonz "The Power" and they move Ritchie's mom Mrs.C., Lori Beth, Joanie, Potsies girlfriend Jennifer, and the rest like robots until MorkF freezes them in mid-move. "RC Loves LB" [F] {***} In this episode, Howard opens a door to get the icons/newspaper and finds Lori Beth frozen with her mouth agape and her hand out stretched with a letter. Howard tries to get the letter from her hand but she's so stiff it wont budge...Then she let's out a big, "I'M GETTING MARRIED"!!! This was a long freeze scene and well worth a view. "The Howdy Doody Show" [F] {***} Joannie is given an award for some good deed she did live on the air but when she walks up to accept it she freezes before the camara. "Mrs.C" comes to get her and when she walks up she tilts her head towards the camara she freezes also. "Chachi Sells His Soul" [F] {**} the Devil appears to Chachi saying if he sells his soul everyone will worship and fawn over him. The Fonz helps him get his soul back by not kissing a female for 24 hours. At the last minute the Devil sends three Harem Babes to entice the Fonz and when he's about to give in an angel freezes the three girls to save him.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

"Full Circle" [S] - The titan Atlas gets stoned by Hera. (Note, this is a male petrification.) "The Wrong Path" [S] - In the first episode of the series, there is a she-demon (female human top on snake bottom) that petrifies a male extra, then Iolaus. Petrifications are done via computer morphing; unfortunately, the final statues don't look terribly much like petrified people. "The End of the Beginning" [F] {*} Autolycus, the king of thieves, accidentally uses the magic Chronos Stone to freeze time. Mostly special effects, and the frozen figures are very hard to see in the background.

Holmes and Yoyo

- Rumored to have ASFR content.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

"Honey, Situation Normal: All Szalinski'd Up" [F] *** The mother on the show frozen for a couple minutes and being moved and carried. Very nice acting on her part.

Human Sexes, The

[S] - Learning channel program. The opening credits feature a man and woman painted as statues.

I Dream of Jeannie

"Jeannie Ties The Knott" [A][M] *** Jeannie replaces herself with a mechanical dummy. One of the finest examples of robotic motion on episodic television. [M] * Jeannie turns herself into a mannequin to get in to see Tony. "" [I] - Jeannie's sister impersonates her. At the end, she is trying to convince Major Nelson that she is Jeannie and that she has driven her sister away. Suddenly, she is frozen in a block of ice, and the real Jeannie shows up.

I've Got a Secret

[M] - Old black and white game show. In one episode, a woman poses as a mannequin along with some real mannequins.

The Invaders

"Valley of the Shadow"? [F] {*} In one episode the aliens freeze everyone in a town, but I don't think it was very well done.

The Invisible Man

"Frozen in Time" [I] - The Invisible Man's scientist girl friend is kidnapped (along with a bunch of other high-tech types) and are frozen in cryogenic chambers.

Jason of Star Command

"Return" [F] {*} The time travellers from "A Place Called Earth" left their time machine behind, and it freezes time as well as travels through it. In an egregious misuse of the idea, there's an eight-minute time stop sequence in the middle of a town with not a single woman to be seen! However, if you like the idea of playing pranks on frozen people you might want to catch this one. There is one shot of a frozen woman at the very end of the episode though. "Wild Journey" A different pair of time travellers show up, and the humans figure out a way to go back in time to prevent themselves from crashing on the Giants' planet. There was one timestop scene in the lobby of the spaceport. "The Secret City of Limbo" [F] * Two people are frozen by a ray gun. The woman in the image is frozen twice and fakes it a third time.

Land of the Lost

"Split Personality" [I] - This episode concerns Holly's and Will's search for their alternate universe selves, which they find embedded in a cave wall in the Lost City of the Sleestaks. Nice if primitive effect of the frozen teens, arms outstretched, stuck in the rock wall.

At the end of the episode she is tricked into looking into a mirror and turns to stone.

Las Vegas FONT>

"The Lie Is Cast" [S] - Not strictly statuary, but this episode had a bodypanting lover's dream, a room full of gorgeous buxom waitresses, all topless exept for a coat of white, black and gold bodypaint, making a decorative tuxedo look.

Laverne and Shirley

"The Beatnik Show" [M] - There is a long freeze at the end with Shirley and a couple of other women as well. Great blank stares and poses on their part. Shirley is at a nightclub were all are commanded to stare at their right hand and “observe” it and they freeze then Laverne walks in on them. The one girl in the middle is excellent at her pose and blank stare.

Logan's Run

"Pilot" [A] * Logan and Jessica find a group of androids whos masters are all dead. One is damaged and goes into a speach loop. Later, she is seen disasembled as Rem works on her. [A] * Rem (Donald Moffat) regular character. Not very sexy, though. "Futurepast" [A] - Mariette Hartley appears as an android guardian, and potential love interest for Rem. "The Crypt" [I] {**1/2} Logan finds a crypt of six people, 3 men, 3 women, frozen for a couple hundred years to avoid a plague. The gals are real lookers and the best one of the three winds up getting frozen again at the end. Very nice.

Lois and Clark - The New Adventures of Superman

"The Return of the Prankster" [F] **** Bronson Pinchot has a camera that immobilizes people. Lois is frozen in several very good scenes and posed in negligees. "Twas the Night Before Mxymas" [F] *** Mister Mxyzptlk, the mischievous imp from the fifth dimension, pops into Metropolis on Christmas Eve with plans to conquer the world.

"The Android Machine" [A] - Verda is a silver painted android girl that Dr. Smith orders from a "celestial catalog".

- Main characters Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi are androids. Suits are too bulky, though.

Love Boat

"Ship of Ghouls" [H][F] - Vincent Price plays a hypnotist. In one scene, late in the show, he hypnotically freezes everyone. The scene is brief and don't show much but it's still an unexpected surprise.

Mad TV

"" [A] - The new blonde character portrays an adult “Vikki” from the 80’s sitcom “Small Wonder” - (if your familier with this show you’ll be surprised at of exactly accurate she had the monotone voice, clothes, and acting down pat! Not to mention very funny.)

Man from U.N.C.L.E.

"The Deadly Smorgasbord Affair" [F] *** A scientist invents a gizmo that suspends animation. Thrush steals it and attacks Uncle Euro HQ, turning them all into statues. The entire episode is loaded with people getting zapped. This show is one of the best freeze 'em ups around. "The His Master's Voice Affair" [H] - THRUSH brainwashes women to turn into hypnotized robots when they hear a lullaby. "The Sort of Do-it Yourself Dreadful Affair" [A] ** THRUSH makes super strong robot women. Written by Harlan Ellison.

The Man Show

"" [F] - Museum of Annoying Women (or Guys)? Women freeze in displays that are deactivated. Glimpses only.

de Mananita

[F] *** to **** Telemundo (Spanish) network morning show. It runs three hours (like the today show) but one of the bits has that when the guy host yells "pausa" into a megaphone the female hostesses freeze until he yells the release phrase ("play"). One of the women is really good at it, blinking very few times. The freeze scene lasts about a minute each time, often involving moving/reposing the frozen girls.

Mann and Machine

[A] -Good recent SF cop show. Eve (The robot) never really got very mechanical (in any of the episodes I saw, anyway)

Mantis

[F] ** Main character has two freeze devices, a dart and a gas. Various episodes contain freeze scenes. "Fast Forward" [F] - The villain in this episode uses a device to accelerate himself to hyperspeed, making everyone around him effectively frozen.

"An Oyster Stew" [F][S] - The Black Ranger gives his girlfriend earrings, which turn out to be the Pearls of Stillness. WHen she puts them on, everyone in the area gets affected by one of the weirdest freezes I've ever seen. The epsiode guide I read says the people were frozen, but other sites claim they were turned to stone. Anyhow, the freeze/stoning (not really petrification, as it was instant), everyone's skin was digitally edited over with a grey tint, so it was a kind of early FX freeze, really. "Two for One" [F] - A Purse monster attacks with a special mirror that freezes people. He uses it on the White, Pink and Black Rangers. "The Ninja Encounter - Part 3" [F] - The Red, Black and Yellow Rangers are all frozen by a bizzare flower monster's pollen.

Monsters

"Rain Dance" [S] - A swindler is ripping off Indian artifacts in the desert. An old Indian woman sells the man a statue of a Rain God. That night, the god comes to life and turns first his wife, and then the husband, to stone. The scene were the wife is petrified is not too bad, though the resulting statue doesn't really look that much like her.

Mork and Mindy

"Gotta Run, part1" [A] - Tracey is a robotic space alien. "Putting the Ork Back in Mork" [F] {****} The two part episode where a kid comes from ORK to visit Mork. Near the end, he points his orkan finger at Mindy and freezes her. She is frozen in mid speech, mouth wide open, with her left arm stretched out, and bent slightly at the waist. "Mork Vs. The Necrotons" [F] {***} In this two parter, Mork is being hunted for sport by Captain Nirvana played by sultry actress Racquel Welch. He zaps Captain Nirvana frozen, but it only freezes her a few seconds and she takes Mork captive and imprisons Mindy in an invisible force field. "Limited Engagement" [F] {***} Mork decides to propose marriage to his beloved Mindy...And when he he does, Mindy freezes. Mork frantically say's "Mindy, Mindy? Awe hun, don't check out with the baggage just yet, your eyes are open but the lights are out...Mindy?"...while waving his hands in front of her face.

Right... Right... Right..." Mork calmly walks up to Mindy like nothing is wrong and gives her a slight push and she continues to talk normally. "Morks Greatest Hit's" [F] {***} Mork puts the patrons of a cafe into a slow motion time warp. Excellent super slow motion acting, practically a freeze scene. "Invasion of the Mork Snatchers" [F] {***} Mork has a dream where the people in the commercials come out of the TV to take Mork away forever to TV land. They have antennas on their heads, and at the end everyone is slow-mo'ed by an oversized TV remote.

[A] -Julie Newmar plays Rhoda, an android posing as human. Great moves.

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog

"Aideen and the Stone Princess" [S] *** Maeve uses Aideen's jealously of Deirdre to help her turn the Princess to stone. "" [F] - Ivar, Deirdre and Garret are guarding a baby dragon when Gorn comes in and freezes them with Freezing Salt. They are seen in the background for most of the last 5 minutes or so.

The New Avengers

[M] ** Purdy hides posed as a mannequin in a window.

Out of This World

[F] ** to *** Circa 1992. A girl in this show is an alien who can freeze time. She does it in most episodes. A few various scenes are worth looking for.

Outer Limits (Old)

"I, Robot" [A] - A robot is put on trial for the murder of his creator. "The Premonition" [F] - A time stop episode, where an Air Force test pilot and his wife accidentally freeze time. Only one woman is seen frozen, but she's seen repeatedly during the episode. "Controlled Experiment" [F] ** Two Martians, in an attempt to understand why humans commit murder, use a device that manipulates the flow of time to repeatedly watch a jealous woman kill her cheating boyfriend forwards, backwards, and in slow-motion. There's a really good freeze scene (well, super slow-motion) in the middle of the episode as one of the aliens rummages through the purse of the oblivious woman. "The Premonition" [F] - This is a time stop episode. Unfortunately, being set on an Air Force base in the 1960's, there were very few women to be seen frozen - one, to be exact. However, she's seen repeatedly through the episode. At first glance these freeze scenes look like a freeze-frame effect (which is used a lot in this episode), but when you look closely there are subtle clues that indicate it's a good live action freeze.

Outer Limits (New)

"Bits of Love" [A][F]*** Artist freezes a female hologram (Natasha Hensridge) so that he can paint her portrait. "Valerie 23" [A] - A female android becomes jealous and dangerous. "Mary 25" [A][F] *** Simlar to Valerie, but this time she's a nany. Several good deactivated scenes with sexy androids. "The Heist" [I] - A group of terrorists unwittingly unleash an extra-terrestrial composed of liquid helium, who freezes up a couple of people, including one woman (it actually turns her into a sort-of ice sculpture) who subsequently shatters. Not great. "I Robot" [A] * A robot is put on trial for the murder of his creator. Remake of 1960's original. "In Our Own Image" [A] - An advanced android escapes its creator and takes a woman hostage. "Think Like a Dinosaur" [S] - People are being teleported; the process necessitates their being encased in this stasis solution that looks like liquid silver and covers their nude bodies. One woman is covered with the stuff. "Resurrection" [A] - Life on planet Earth has been wiped out by biological warfare, leaving behind only androids. Two androids grow a human from DNA, who must shut down the androids before they can stamp out the human race completely. Pretty good scene when he turns off the master control. "Mona Lisa" [A] - Stunningly beautiful, Mona Lisa (LAURA HARRIS) is the Mata Hari of the twenty first century. She's a spy, an assassin and... an android. Mona is a billion dollar experiment equipped with a body of astonishing strength and a brain the equivalent of sixty four Cray computers. Capable of self learning but haunted by her programmed capacity to kill, Mona escapes the confines of the laboratory and disappears into the night. "Abduction" [F] {*} A high school hallway full of teens is frozen briefly at the beginning. "Rule of Law" [A] - A judge sent to a distant planet to enforce frontier law has a female android assistant.

Passions

[I] * In this soap opera, a Fall 2001 thread deals with a girl being frozen in a block of ice. Little detail can be seen in the clip I have seen. This is an excerpt from a summary of the Dec. 13 episode: ...The kids all head to the pond to skate, and Kay can't stand seeing Charity and Miguel so happy. They decide to play a game of hide and seek, and Kay uses this opportunity to her advantage... Meanwhile, Kay thinks she might be able to make up her own spell, and does so. She asks for help, and the book begins to glow! It tells Kay that if she casts the spell it is about to give her, there is no turning back. Kay says she is ready, so it gives her a spell. Kay casts the spell, and begins to glow red. Elsewhere, Charity turns to a block of ice! ... This is an excerpt from a January 2002 spoiler: ...As a result of Kay's evil spell it looks like poor Charity will stay a frozen ice maiden out in the dark woods forever - or at least 'till the spring thaw.

Police Squad

[M] * At the end of each episode, the actors would freeze as if the shot were paused, but it was really just the actors pretending. This would usually result in something humorous, like someone trying not to spill their coffee etc. Not sure if there were any females in any of these freezes, but they were interesting none the less.

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue

"In the Freeze Zone" [I] *** The "Freeza" zaps Miss Fairweather (mid-20's, vaugely Asian, wears a short mauve skirt constantly). The actress held perfectly still for quite a long time, covered partially with what was meant to look like a thin layer of frost (but didn't obstruct the view of the good stuff). She was sprawled on the ground in a very leggy pose. Although she was staying perfectly still on her own, she flopped around when other characters picked her up and moved her, so she wasn't "frozen solid".

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

"Mean Wheels Mantis" [S] * The pink and yellow rangers are turned into small gold trophies. Not much detail as trophies, and brief induction/release scenes.

Power Rangers in Space

[I] - Cassie and Ashley (the female Pink and Yellow Rangers) are frozen in gigantic ice blocks while in full ranger costume.

Power Rangers Turbo

[S] - Cassie is sprinkled with powder and turned to stone.

The Powers of Matthew Star

"The Jackel" [A] - Cindy is a gynoid sent to kill Matthew Star.

The Price is Right

[A] ** Recurring showcase concept where model appears as a robot fortune teller. [M] *** In another recurring theme, the girls pose like mannequins in store windows.

The Prisoner

"Arrival" [F] - The pilot episode had a scene where the whole town stopped moving for a couple of minutes while the weather-balloon-guardian appeared. "The Girl Who Was Death" [M] - The title character played by Justine Lord hides out in a store window as a mannequin to spy on the prisoner. It's a brief scene, but she's effectively still and her mod 60's appearance (especially her flashy eye makeup) heighten the effect. "Checkmate" [F] - Again, everyone freezes while Rover bounces down the street. There are a few women clearly visible in this crowd freeze.

Psi Factor

"Frozen in Time" [F] - The crew investigates a Native American reservation where everyone is frozen into living statues. They spend the episode trying to figure out how to return them to normal.

Quark

"All the Emperor's Quasi-Norms" [F] - 1978 Sci-Fi parody series. This episode makes use of paralyzing rayguns. Now, the antagonist 'Zorgon the Malevolent' happens to have a daughter (played by cutie Joan Van Ark in her pre-soap days) named Libido, who has a thing for one of Quark's male crewmates. When Zorgon catches Libido and the guy 'pollinating', he tries to freeze this molestor of his daughter with the raygun... but the love-stricken Libido leaps into the path of the beam to save him! Joan's resulting awkward, leaning, arms-akimbo pose (complete with a look of shocked desperation and mouth agape) is a classic. The episode ends with the major characters speculating how/if she'll ever be reanimated... seems the stiffening effect is permanent! "Goodbye Polumbus" [S] - This episode was a spoof on the old Star Trek episode where the crew landed on a planet where their dreams were made real. Quark created his dream-girl there, and was so happy with her that he never wanted to leave. Well, of course, the rest of the crew eventually convinced him that none of it was real, and as he realized this, his dream-girl turned into a clay figure. You could tell the clay/mud girl was female and fairly well-endowed; the affect was achieved by slathering the actress from head to toe with the mud.

The Questor Tapes

[A] - Pilot by Gene Roddenberry about an android seeking its creator so he can evolve into a new lifeform. Opening sequence where the featureless nude droid activates and molds his features is crude but quite effective.

Reading Rainbow

"Visit to a wax museum" [M] ** There is a livng mannequin outside who for a brief moment acts robotic, and after that sequence the mannequins in the window act robotic in a smooth slow fashion.

Really Weird Tales - A Twilight Zone parody from HBO.

"All's well that ends strange" [A][F] *** Dave Thomas plays a Hugh Hefner type who has populated his mansion with sexy androids. Great scene as one is put through a series of test poses.

Red Dwarf

"Pete 1" [F] ** In this two-part season 8 episode, the heroes find a device called a Time Wand that gives the user complete control over time, including the ability to freeze it. Here we see several crew members frozen in the recreation room in the only really decent freeze scene. The episode had a lot of potential, but sadly blew it.

Red Handed

"The Red Handed Mannequin" [M] *** "Red Handed" is a show much like candid camera where they put people into amusing and embarassing situations and then film them. The segment above follows the trick on a woman who always fingers clothes etc. So they rigged a mannequin to fall apart at a touch (on cue) and the sure enough this girl gets caught. Then the fun begins, because the actor playing the clerk talks the girl into posing as a mannequin for a minute 'to fool my boss'. Of course the posing lasts longger than expected and includes some stagehands picking the 'mannequin' up and moving her. What makes this especially interesting (and somewhat suspicious) is that the girl is *really* good as a mannequin. Not only does she hold a frozen pose well, but she has that clear light-toned complexion that almost looks painted.

Relic Hunter

"Warlock of Nu Theta Phi" [H] - A real-life warlock walks in on Karen the secretary and hypnotizes her so he could recover his amulet. It was decent enough.

Remote Control

[A] ** TV game show where dancer does robot dance.

Roswell

"Harvest"[M] **1/2 The gang investigates a report of Rep. Whitaker's death. They discover human "husks" in tubes, a couple of which are attractive females. A few good shots of a girl standing "frozen" in the tube nearest the door. Could have been a real flop scene, but it was saved by the fact that she had her arms out from her body in a very mannequinlike pose. (Ep # 2ADA06)

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

"Sabrina goes to Rome" [S] * Sabrina goes to Rome and briefly turns herself into a bust statue. "You Can't Twin" [F] *** Episode #102. Sabrina's evil twin from another realm steals her passport and takes over her life. Sabrina freezes her dorm supervisor while switching back from her twin. Fairly long duration, special effects only during (un)freezing. "Double Time" [F][A] - Soliel Moon Frye is zapped in a slow motion time warp. At one point to speed her back up, a wind - up key is inserted into her back (it doesn’t work) then a Lawn mower-like cord is used(that too doesn’t work) then she is zapped to complete halt at the end. "What's News" [F] - Episode #123. Josh lands a photojournalist job at the paper leaving little time for him to spend with Sabrina. Elisa Donovan (Morgan) gets zapped frozen again. [F] - She has been known to freeze people in other episodes, so watch for them.

Saved by the Bell

[M] - The kids are at the mall buying concert tickets, then they realize they are being followed, so they are hiding out, and at one point they pose as mannequins in a weeding store for a few moments. It is really great for a couple reasons, first, there are 3 girls involved, and it's a whole scene, with them frozen, then them talking in the window, then a spontaneous freeze! It's great! [F] - Zack would occasionally say "Time out" and everybody but him would freeze. I only saw him use it twice. Once was in an episode where he used the video yearbook as a dating service and once when the school choir was putting on a show but having some problems.

Seven Days

"Time Gremlin" [F] - This episode has to do with the shattering of time. There are lots of frozen and time stopped (and sped up) people. It was great.

Only 2 brief scenes involving female crew members frozen. "Charlie X" [F] ** An alien boy has "magic" powers. He freezes a few female crewmates. Too brief, though. "I, Mudd" [A][F] *** Robo-folks a-plenty. Great voices, great turn-on/off scenes. "Requiem for Methuselah" [A] - An immortal builds a robot companion. Nice scene with earlier version shut off.

Tales from the Darkside

"Everybody needs a Little Love" [M] {**} This episode features a man who lives with a mannequin. The mannequin comes to life at the end and kills him.

"Elegy" [F] *** Three astronauts land on an asteroid and find it very Earth-like, except everyone appears frozen in time. Several good freeze scenes, with the actresses posing motionless. The highlight is a frozen beauty contest. "The Fugitive" [F] - Aliens freeze the occupants of an apartment at the end of the episode.

Twilight Zone (new series)

"The After Hours" [M] * Remake of original series show of the same name and stars Terry Farrel. Not as good from an ASFR perspective. "A little Peace and Quiet" [F] *** Housewife finds a necklace that can stop time. "The Call" [S]** A telephone relationship turns odd when Norman tracks the other phone number to a museum phone next to a bronze statue. In the end, he joins her in imortal bronze. Not a bad statue story.

UFO
"Timelash" [F] - Straker and Col. Lake find that night has turned into day, and that everything at the studio and SHADO HQ is frozen in time. They then discover a traitorous SHADO operative, Turner, who is working with the Aliens and caused the time freeze using a device hidden in SHADO HQ.

Voyage to the bottom of the Sea

"No Way Out" [A] - May contain a fembot. "The Indestructible Man" [A] - As the name implies, this is about a male robot. "The Cyborg" [A] - At least one cyborg, Gundi, is female.

Weird Sceince

"Copper Top Girl" [A][F] *** Lisa makes robot girlfriend for Wyatt. After she breaks down, Gary operates her as a remote control puppet. "Wicked Wish" [F] *** Wyatt's mother is turned into a wicked witch ala Snow White, complete with magic mirror. The mirror would show a beautiful young woman, and if the witch drew a circle with a slash through it over the image the woman would disappear. Finally, Gary and Wyatt, after noting an absence of pretty girls at school that day, witnessed the disappearance of the entire cheerleading squad. Figuring Lisa was responsible somehow, the rushed to Wyatt's house, where they found the living room full of frozen women. The women appeared to be played by live actress standing very still. They did a good job, as Gary and Wyatt walked among them for a few minutes. They were posed in various poses around the room. A nurse was wearing a stethoscope and holding it up as if to listen to someone's chest. The cheerleaders were circled in a group as if in conversation. It was a pretty good scene. "What Genie?" [F] - Lisa the genie freezes time in a cafeteria early in the episode. There's a mix of freeze-frame and live action freezes in this scene.

Wheel of Fortune

[M] * Vanna White poses as a mannequin on a turntable with a normal male and female mannequin.

Wild Wild West

"The Night of the Sudden Plague" [F] {*} One of the villains invents a drug that paralyzes people, He freezes a whole town by putting it in the water. One brief scene at the beginning is all we get. "The Night of the Burning Diamond" [F] {**} Another villain invents a time machine that accelerates him in time. Good scenes of statue women, but don't expect any bikinis. "The Night of the Feathered Fury" [S] - The female lead is turned into gold by the philosophers stone at the end of the story.

Wishbone

"The Entrepawneur" [S] ** Wishbone the dog gets the Midas touch in his fantasy and guilds his wife and daughter. One decent scene right before they're restored.

"Mind Stealers From Outer Space - Part 2"? [F] * Green-clad aliens freeze a young couple before taking over their bodies.

A black rececptionist and several other people get frozen.

Xena - Warrior Princess

"Paradise Found" [S] {*1/2} Gabriele almost gets turned into a bluish stone statue. Other statues can be seen in the hall. The statues are all featureless, and looked like they were carved out of foam-rubber. "Livia"? [I] - Xena and Gabrielle have been frozen into ice coffins by Ares and finally break out 25 years later. They hibernate in them. Ares thinks they're dead and buries them in HOLLOW coffins made of ice. I didn't see the second half. While they are entombed behind rock and ice, they are not frozen, nor are they even alive (well, sort of).

Young Hercules

"Cyrano de Hercules" [A][S]** Longing for companionship, Hephaestus forges himself a gold-plated girlfriend named Galatea. When Hephaestus realizes that his creation has fallen in love with Hercules, he uses Olympian ice to turn Galatea's heart cold. In an instant, Galatea becomes a single-minded metal monster determined to destroy Hercules.

Zack Files

"Video Deja Vu" [F] {**1/2} Fox Family version of "The X-Files". In this episode, they had a camcorder that could "pause" real life. A few teenage girls get frozen with one hilarious scene where he picks a frozen girl up and moves her into the lap of a guy sitting on the couch! Unfortunately, during the freeze all of the actors kept their eyes CLOSED. So it didn't look as good as I would have hoped.
