The Doylist reason why is given on the main character page, but Mike was a temp and would therefore be an employee of the temping agency, not Gizmonic Institute. All one need presume is that Gizmonics itself see that as a distinction worth making.

* During ''Time Chasers'' Crow goes back in time to warn Mike away from continuing his temping career. He succeeds, and in the present Mike is replaced by his brother Eddie. Servo is a snivelling toady instead of the intellectual snarker he should be. But this is the same Tom Servo that Joel built and lived with for years before escaping at the end of ''Mitchell''. ''What did Eddie do to Servo?''

* At one point of ''Angels' Revenge'', Tom and Crow get upset with Mike when he starts singing the theme song from ''Series/HardcastleAndMcCormick''. Why are they so upset? Because they were singing it while bouncing around on pogo sticks in one host segment from ''Mitchell''. That was the host segment where Gypsy was trying to find a way to get Joel off of the Satellite and they brushed her off. She was trying to get Joel off the Satellite because she overheard Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank plotting to kill him. Since they dismissed a situation that was more serious, the song probably left a bad taste in their mouths.

In fact, this may be why he refused to bring Mike back to Earth when he visited the SoL- he could have sensed that Mike, having previously lived an aimless existence bouncing from one temp job to the next, needed the kind of support and [[FireForgedFriends fire-forged friendship]] that Joel himself had gained with his robot companions.

* The song doesn't say Joel took apart the controls that let him start and stop the movies, it just says he "used those special parts to make his robot friends." It wouldn't make sense for the Mads to ''give'' him controls to start and stop the movies, that would ruin the experiments! No, clearly Joel, when inventorying the ship, discovered some special parts which he could ''either'' use to ''make'' his own controls for the movies that would override the Mads, ''or'' he could use them to make himself some companions to keep from going stir-crazy trapped alone on the satellite. He was probably smart enough to realize that the movie controls wouldn't get him off the satellite, and the Mads were more likely to, say, cut off his oxygen or stop shipping up food and water, if he stopped them sending him movies, than they would be if he did a little more of the inventing they were already letting him do.

* Throughout Season 4, there's a strange RunningGag where Joel, or one of the 'Bots declare the film they're currently watching as the worst film they've ever seen. I always found that odd since no other season had a running joke like that, and towards the end of Season 4 we'd get ''Monster A-Go Go'', and ''Manos: The Hands Of Fate'', which really are considered two of the worst films ever shown in the series. It just occurred to me, that it might have been deliberate {{Foreshadowing}} from the writing staff that something really bad was coming, as well as depicting Joel and the 'Bots as TemptingFate.

The Mads have control over the oxygen on the satellite, as well as some device thatthat can deliver a "shock to the shammies". What would they have done to Joel if he had used these special parts for their intended purpose? This is probably also some fridge brilliance on Joel's part, because he has buddies to watch the movies with.
