M.T. Promises

M.T. Promises (performed by Jim Martin) is a nefarious, bulgy-eyed, top-hat wearing, caped ringmaster who is the primary antagonist of the series. He is always scheming to capture Baxter the Clown and take him back to the circus. More silly than sinister, he sweeps onto and off the set accompanied by evil circus music and his farewell is a sarcastic "have a nice day." M.T. Promises has a full-length mirror that talks back to him. The mirror serves as his conscience and frequently gets him so mad that he tries to smash the "Good For Nothing" mirror with a swift kick, but he hurts his foot and not the mirror. Whenever M.T. Promises is not trying to recapture Baxter, he would often try to swindle the characters by selling them broken items for money, playing dirty pranks on the characters, and trying to break up the Space Coasters by inflating the ego of the members. One episode had M.T. Promises helping out the Space Coasters' telethon to get the money to replace the worn-out instruments. M.T.'s name is a parody of P.T. Barnum.
