I was wondering if and when they were going to release Shorts Volume 3. When I had seen the above listing of the sixth MST3K box set included Mr. B’s Lost Shorts, I was wondering if some snafu had gotten in the way.
The info on the sixth box set:
Gunslinger, starring the fabulous Beverly Garland, was the only MST3K VHS tape aside from the Amazing Colossal Man that hadn’t been rereleased on DVD.
I already ordered my copy of the essentials to get the Shorts 3 disc.
I’m glad they were able to secure the rights to some new Comedy Central episodes. I didn’t buy the last two DVD collections because I already have good recent VHS copies of those episodes.
Cool; thanks for the heads-up. It’d be worth it to have to own a copy of “Manos” (which just makes me sad), if only to have a copy of those shorts. “Design for Dreaming” and “Aquatic Wizards” (“Victory at Sea, Bob!”) are awesome.
I’m disappointed. I have most of the Comedy Central episodes on tape already, but none of the Sci-Fi channel ones, so I was hoping for some more of the latter.
Argh! Enough of the damn Shorts collections already! Make the collections four full episodes!
Yes, I realize that the number of films BBI/Rhino has the rights to is dwindling. I realize that it is much easier to secure the rights to these shorts. And I realize that the shorts are fricking funny as hell. But c’mon, they’re meant to be part of a full episode!
At least they’re digging into the vault for some of the episodes. I was beginning to think it would be all Sci-Fi episode releases from here on out.
Hey, I love the Shorts collections! In fact, I was severely disappointed when I saw an ad for the MST3K DVDs that said that one of them wasn’t sold in stores, and was (apparently) only available through the TV offer.
