AH! Awesome. Thanks, Nonsuch and Ms Boods. It’s been so danged long since I’ve seen so many of these; I’m with you, The_Llama, on being wowed by those who remember so much so well. It’s part of why I wish they were still in syndication.
…and I was going to write something about how the DVD sets are nice but there need to be more of them, but while Googling I have discovered that there are MST3K DVD traders! Who knew…gotta get me some of that.

I’d like to add a vote for Werewolf and Final Sacrifice, and I don’t think anyone has mentioned The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed up Zombies yet.
Or how about Time Chasers? “She’s gonna drop shorts on the runway!”
Then Crow goes back in time to convince a younger Mike NOT to take another temp job, but to stay with his band. Only Mike gets killed when a fan throws her room key at the stage and it hits him between the eyes.
And in Mike’s place is his abusive brother Eddie, who swears and uses Tom as an ashtray. So Crow has to go BACK back in time, to convince himself not to convince Mike. And the other Crow ends up staying in the past or something like that.
I also jumped on during the SciFi Years, so my favorites tend that way: Prince of Space, Space Mutiny, Wuhrwilf, Touch of Satan, Final Sacrifice. I’m slowly acquiring CC-Era episodes, and wish Rhino would get movin’ already. But my faves of the CC’s: Starfighters (with the Poopy Suit Song) and Teenagers from Outer Space.
You know, I don’t think there was a better skit than the “I’m a danger to myself and others” song that Joel and the bots sang during intermission on Attack of the Giant Leeches.
Unless it was the Gamera playset commercial they did in that one Gamera movie. (“some parts may not exist”)
For favorite skits – I’m partial to the Invasion of the Body Snatchers parody (Giant Spider Invasion?), with Gypsy trying to get Mike & the bots to sleep.
And Tom & Crow playing “Dog & Bear” at the beginning of Prince of Space. It’s a brilliant parody of something, but I’m not sure what.
The skit in I Accuse My Parents where they explain all the main character’s mental problems, including his pathological need to lie, was the only thing that made that movie bearable. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the whole experiment because it was just too painful. One day, I’m going to try again. With lots of alcohol on hand.
