Hahahahahaaa!I just want more now!, 27 December 2000
Author: Poona Kan Ng from Versandi Gate

I just love MST3K.I have recorded tapes of it at home here as well and seem like the only ones that are getting weared out,due to watching it so much.And yes,I'm into B-films,but some are either un-acceptable w/o the MST3k gang,or the fact that I've learned that Western distributors screw them up for everyone.Yes,I live in the Far East(Hong Kong),but I have some Westerner buds living near me as well.I never knew if they aired it over in HK,but who cares,I'm enjoying myself with this show already!

Must watch more MST3K,HA HA HA HAAA!

One of the most original (and funny) TV shows ever., 29 July 2000
Author: (jribakove@worldnet.att.net) from Staten Island, NY

MST3K has maybe one of the most orignal TV comedy show formats ever. It's very structured (there's a certain amount of sketches and movie time occuring at specific times during the show). However, it has a brilliant mix of sketches with movie time. I think that if you really watch and listen to the movie riffing, you'll catch the broadest range of references as well as obvious jokes than in any 2 hours on TV. I know I sound like an obsessed fan, but MST3K is certainly a more entertaining (and intelligent & enlightening) obsession than some others.

The best thing since paper!, 18 July 2000
Author: TVGM3000-2 from I dunno, USA

I bet the Chinese in China always brag about being the first to make paper. Who cares?

We as a country should brag about MST3k, one of the best things man has ever invented.

So watch it every Saturday @ 9:00 A.M (7/00) on the SCI-FI channel and see for your self.

Excellent., 15 July 2000
Author: Jerry from Iowa

Probably the 2nd best TV show ever, after The Simpsons of course. So far I have only seen the Sci-Fi channel ones because I just started to watch this show right after they canceled it last year. I say they should work on getting the Comedy Central ones on Saturday morning Sci-Fi. From what I've read, they sound better than the Sci-Fi channel ones.

My favorite episode, Space Mutiny. Just can't beat the lame cart fight and the dead lady on the bridge. I also liked, well the rest of the series. Makes a lot of sitcoms look dull, repetitive and cheesey by comparison. Catch this and you'll catch a great piece of 90's television and the worst movies EVER.

It made me a B-movie fan, 29 June 2000
Author: Snow Dog-2 from Los Angeles, California

It seems there are two kinds of people: those who love MST3K, and those who haven't seen it, I don't know of anyone who actively dislikes this show. As for myself, I began watching at around 13 or 14, and while it didn't change my life, it did significantly alter my viewing habits. MST3K taught me that watching bad movies can be a fun, even educational experience. It's a great show that brought some of the most obscure pieces of pop-culture detritus to the public attention (I even liked one of the movies), and though it may be gone, there will always be bad movies to snipe at...

A much missed favorite, 28 May 2000
Author: sngbrd39 from US

At one time, MST3K was my favorite show on TV. By the time the last episode rolled around, it was not my favorite, but it was still high on my list. Its original premise and laugh-out-loud humor are as priceless now as they ever were. I still love to watch the reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel, but I regret that I have never seen the majority of the Comedy Central episodes, which came on in the days before I had discovered it. I am encouraged that they are putting out more videos, but it would be great if those older episodes were on TV again so I could see them for myself. It's only too bad that such a great show spawned such a so-so movie.

The perfect comedy drug, 16 May 2000
Author: QKnown from CALIfornia

We all know how funny it is to make joking remarks about films, even if they happen to be your favorite good ones.

But when you watch this guy and a couple robots make jokes about the worst movies ever made, You cant help but to die laughing.

MST3K is truly one of the greatest and memorable shows of all time!

My favorite "projects"(or episodes): HERCULES UNCHAINED, HORROR AT PARTY BEACH, CAVE DWELLERS, ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE, THE FINAL SACRIFICE, and of course, MANOS!!

It's the wind, baby!, 30 March 2000
Author: UCB Agent1 from Chicago, IL

I first came across MST3K when I was but a Freshman in High School, back in the good old days of 1992. The series was still pretty young then, but easily at it's creative height. The first episode I ever saw was "City Limits", though I do remember seeing ads for the show on Comedy Central and thinking it looked stupid. I was wrong. That episode, in which Crow first realizes his love for Kim Cattral in two memorable host segments(The Song and the "Mannequin" scene), hooked me. I only caught about half of it, but next week I was back in front of the TV for a full two hours of "Teenagers From Outer Space", and I tried not to miss an episode after that. I got my family into it, but couldn't really get my friends into it. They never loved movies and wacky pop culture references as much as I did, though I did find a girlfriend who loved the show as much as I did. When we broke up, she still had my copy of "Pod People". Never saw it again until it came out on tape.

Anyway, I'll always remember the show, and I'll always watch my favorites, as I've amassed a few on tape since '92. It was consistently funny, even though some of the movies were so bad that even the brilliant minds at Best Brains couldn't save them. The shorts were always classic, and I for one always liked the host segements. When the show went to SciFi, I think it lost more than just Clayton Forrester, it lost some of what had made it great, something intangible. While the SciFi years have had their moments("Soultaker", "Parts:The Clonus Horror"), the best work was done on Comedy Central. Even after TV's Frank left. The shortened season 7 has some great ones, like the Incredible Melting Man and Bronx:2000. I miss those days.

That's enough of my rambling. The show will always stand next to the Simpsons as one of the funniest things ever produced on television, or any other medium. I mourn it's loss, but celebrate it's achievements.

No matter how many times I watch this,I never get tired of it!, 12 March 2000
Author: Chibi Riza from Kahn

MST3K is one of the best shows ever to be made on Television.It makes a lot of classic references to many various things,from rock stars to retro 50's Saturday morning cartoons.And not to mention that they do a suberb job on mocking bad movies and just plain twisted movies too!And it never stayed with one thing.Themes kept changing for all those 12 years to 1999.

I just wish if there is ever going to be anymore shows that mock bad and twisted movies,let's hope it will be as excellent as this!

One of the funniest shows around, 18 February 2000
Author: HunterK (hunter_kahn@hotmail.com) from Pennsylvania, USA

I found MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 to be one of the most creative, original, funniest and greatest shows I've ever seen. It's very unique and has never been done before. It also has some very talented and very funny people, like Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy and Trace Beaulieu. I didn't know there were so many bad b-rated movies until these guys found them and made fun of them. Then turn watching a crappy movie into a funny and enjoyable experience. It's a shame that this terrific show is over, because this is one show that never gets old.
