One of the best shows ever on television
Completely innovative and new for it's time. It spent just the right amount of time on TV. I'm glad I was able to see most of it when it originally aired.

4. I ran out of letters.
What I had written which didn't make it through was "...and for fuck's sake how did this show get popular?"

16. Well, the poll sure seems to be supporting your stance so far.
Edited on Fri Dec-12-08 05:10 PM by Zavulon
I've watched six episodes and have laughed at the commentary less than six times. I just don't see the appeal.

9. You know about the two new projects, right?
Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy & Bill Corbett did a few "Film Crew" DVDs (MST3K without the bots, just the 3 guys riffing on the film) before switching to RiffTrax:

http://www.rifftrax.com/

Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, J Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl have reunited as "Cinematic Titanic"...

http://www.cinematictitanic.com/

Both groups offer a truckload of new merchandise on their Web Sites. Plenty of freebies and previews.

13. I watched one of the Flim Crew ones and it was really funny.
I forgot the name of the film, but it had Rue McClannahan as a stripper. On DVD they can be a little looser than on TV.

21. It was announced today that Captain David Ryder aka Rip Groundround,
of the space ship Southern Sun, was killed in a freak accident known as a railing death. The commander of the Southern Sun, Alex Jansen, said in tribute, "Maybe now we can get the funding to have those damn things removed. What good are they?" Jansen's daughter, a 'friend' of Ryder's, remarked, "He had it coming. Hanging around with those Bellerians ho's." A colleague, Lt Lemont, said, "If I can come back from the dead, so can he." Elijah Kalgon was heard to giggle maniacally.

19. Well, I'm one of them.
I'll pass on the sit-on, though, thanks. I'd love to know who agreed with me on this, as he or she may be the only person on Earth who does.
