Two characters I wish they'd use more often are Kodos and Kang. I love
Kodos' voice, especially. The "President Clint-ton" episode was
particularly good.

Is there a list of K & K episodes, and what was the other alien called,
in the episode in which the whole family gets abducted?

To pronounce it correctly, you would need to pull out your tongue!

Actually, to correct your subject line, it should be "Kang and her sister,
_Kodos_."

The only times you'll see Kang and Kodos are in Halloween specials,
although one of the two had a brief cameo in "The Springfield Files"
(3G01). (It's hard to tell which is Kang and which is Kodos without
dialogue; the Simpsons Cartoon Studio CD-ROM puts a crown on Kodos.)

The cook was Serak the Preparer (who was voiced by James Earl Jones, I
believe); to pronounce the fourth alien's name correctly, you have to pull
out your tongue.

And to correct my sentence that I posted a few minutes ago, it should be
"Kang and _his_ sister Kodos." I doubt that Kang is a woman -- but I also
have my doubts that Kodos is also a woman.

(Of course the subject line could also have been, "Kodos and her _brother_
Kang.")

Kodos and Kang are male. I think.

I don't know. Kodos always introduces them as "I'm Kodos, and this is my
sister, Kang."

If I remeber corectly, Kang was Pang in the early episode. I think they
changed it to better suit the title of the Halloween VII segment (IMNSHO,
the best of this year's three).

BTW, the third alien was Cerok the Preparor.

Not having seen any of the names in print other than here
in the NG, my guess is that the Preparer's name is
Surak.

Kang and Kodos are both names that came from the
original "Star Trek" series. Kang was a Klingon, Kodos
a tyrant from Captain Kirk's childhood who executed
thousands of people, ostensibly to save thousands
more.

Surak is the father of "modern" Vulcan precepts.

Just a guess, is all. (-;

Actually, I think it's more likely that the third alien's name is Sarek
(Spock's father), since he was mentioned more often in the old series, and it
says Sarek in the list of star trek references in OFF.
again, just another guess...

Nope, Kang has always been Kang, and the cook was Serak the Preparer.

Niether Kodos nor Kang are women, but at least one of them are female.
