If you’re jonesing for an episode that hasn’t been released by Rhino:
I found this in some papers from when I graduated from elementary school (about 1995):
“…He is miled mannered and sweet but possesses a quirky sense of humor. He continually reminds me that the Social Studies movies we see are definitely of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 variety, and he looks forward to sitting in front like Joel and the Bots, Tom Servo and Crow.”
And now, almost 10 years later, my obsession continues.
Happy Birthday MST3K!
Mild, not miled, of course. And in case it’s not clear, the paragraph is from a description of me, from my fourth-grade teacher.
There’s a fourth DVD set out? Woohoo!
You mean it’s back?
Sure, tell me after I had them switch off the cable.
Damn poverty, depriving me of life’s greatest joys…
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I find that the episodes are even funnier when you watch them the second time!
At first, I think, it’s because sometimes I’m so disturbed by how BAD the movies are. Like the first time I saw Space Mutiny, it was mentally painful to watch.
After that, a laff riot.
What? Not liked Space Mutiny? How can you not love a film with Captain Santa, the world’s oldest teenage girl, and Biff McHugelarge? (Not to mention, of course, the greatest scene ever captured on film – the death-defying floor-waxer chase!)
Yes, Thea, MST3K remains on Sci-Fi (no new episodes, just repeats). Just last weekend (not this one), I caught “Girl with the Gold Boots,” which I hadn’t seen in a while. “Here – come into my dimension.”

I’ve occasionally had the experience of spontaneously producing the same quip as Mike, Joel or one of the 'bots, at the same moment. Example: while watching (I think) Secret Agent Super Dragon, Tom and I both said, “Hey, it’s the Old Spice guy!” Not the wittiest remark in the world, but it made my day.
“The contract extension between Best Brains and Sci-Fi Channel expires at the end of January, 2004. No further extensions are planned. MST3K will leave the television, perhaps forever, at 11 a.m. Eastern and Pacific time, on January 31, 2004, when episode 912- THE SCREAMING SKULL ends.”

Poopie!
Who? Oh, you mean Hack Blowfist. Lump Beefbroth? Bob Johnson?
