visionary Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Of course. I think I prefered Joel and a lot of those classic episodes, although Mike had some great ones too, like Hobgoblins, Puma Man, Touch Of Satan, Space Mutiny....

Jumbo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Big fan since its first airing. Me and some pals used to get severely altered back in the day and just laugh for hours watching several taped episodes in a row. Then we started actually getting a hold of the movies they were lampooning and just watching them (and doing our own MST3K shtick at times, of course) and that became somewhat of a ritual. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Great show. Im glad Netflix has so many episodes now. I still can't believe it ran for eleven seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakinaiken Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 You aren't alone. The real question is: Mike or Joel?:saber: Personally, Mike fan, but then again i grew up in ther Mike era of the late 90's... i respect Joel, but Mike's style seems slightly more witty and at the same time more accessible... in fact most of my top episodes include Mike as the host... to be honest, while this may inflame some fans, i tend to prefer Sci-Fi riffing episodes compared to the comedy central days. After they were picked up by Sci-Fi channel, their riffing style and rythym was far superior to the early days: unfortunately however, the show wasnt popular anymore, so it ended up being a quick stint... Also, most fans know this, but rifftrax is an extension of the premise... and cinematic titanic I of course prefer Rifftrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl05 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Great show. Was a major feature of my college days. My friend and I probably watched the "Manos - The Hands of Fate" episode 20 times, and just about memorized it. Brilliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a great, underrated show. ---------- Post added April-27th-2012 at 06:10 AM ---------- Big fan since its first airing.

USS Redskins Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Count me in. Miss that show... The Turkey Day Marathons were great. I think I still have a dozen or so VHS tapes with a bunch of episodes. Guess they will get thrown out since I dont even have a working VHS player anymore.... I do have the MST3K movie on DVD -which was really good too. Both Hosts were great. If you pressed me, I would go with Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU-ALUM Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Absolutely love it! Have about 90 hours on VHS! Still one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. ---------- Post added April-27th-2012 at 01:15 PM ---------- Great show. Was a major feature of my college days.

greenspandan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 i used to trade VHS tapes of these. one of the greatest shows in television history. Mike vs Joel is so tired. they were both great in their own way. I usually say "Mike" only because it seems like the majority say "Joel" fans of MST3k should definitely check out "Manos in HD" ( http://www.manosinhd.com/ ). a dude stumbled across the original work print of "Manos: the Hands of Fate" and he's restoring it for an HD release. he says this print looks 100 times better than the version that made it to theatres (and what you see on MST3k) because the original transfer was botched so badly. original: work print: it's amazing how much fidelity was lost. you can see all sorts of previously-invisible details in the background and costumes, especially darker, more poorly lit scenes like during the ritual, or in torgo's room, or well the whole movie really. can't wait till this is released. anyway, here's my list of favorite and/or underrated episodes: Space Mutiny Attack of The The Eye Creatures Time Chasers Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders The Wild Wild World of Bat Woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailGreen28 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I enjoyed the Joel episodes best. But I thought the movie (riffing "This Island Earth") was the best MST3K performance, and Rifftrax is great. So guess I like them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
