I thought the last season matched the original run in terms of quality. 3-4 great episodes, 5-6 good/normal episodes, 3-5 mostly snoozers. Anyway, it’s coming back and I hope they can produce at least 14 more episodes. I personally would like 20+ episodes, but whatever they can produce is fine by me. I also am hoping for a 2018 release, but who knows? ---

I’m pleased to hear a new season will be coming. I thought the movie selection for the last season was excellent and am looking forward to more and seeing what happened to Jonah. ---

I know there is other topics about MST3k on Netflix in here somewhere but I figure this is as good of a place as any.

I enjoyed the movie/riffing parts of it, as always. The other stuff, while never all that great, was much better in the “classic” episodes. I couldn’t possibly care less about Felicia Day and the rest; I find most of those scenes to be _painfully_ unfunny. ---

I couldn’t possibly care less about Felicia Day and the rest; I find most of those scenes to be _painfully_ unfunny. They were filmed like a police lineup. A boring one. Rather than use fish-eye lens or anything. Also Frank sometimes was very much done with Dr. Forresters shit instead of always being subservient. ---

**Cry Wilderness** was amazing. **Starcrash** was great. Both **Wizards of the Lost Kingdom** were great, too. Everything else ranged from OK to not funny. I honestly felt this percentage was equal or only slightly worse than the original show. ---

I’m very excited about the new season! I thought the reboot was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Not every episode was a gem, of course, but overall I felt it was very funny with many standout movies. _Cry Wilderness_ and \*StarCrash \*had me rolling on the floor. I had to pause them repeatedly from laughing too much. Just perfect. I also enjoyed _Avalanche!_ and _Yongary_ and the first _Wizards_ (second one, not so much). Lots of great material there. The bar is high for Season 12, IMO. ---

I’m looking forward to the new season. I liked the host segments, mostly because of Patton Oswalt. > [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > I know there is other topics about MST3k on Netflix in here somewhere but I figure this is as good of a place as any.

Highly recommended.
