Has anyone ever seen it? I used to watch it on Saturday mornings when it was still on Scifi, that show was hilarious. xd

Crow forever! I love that show. We are sadly deprived of it in the UK - I don't think even Sci-Fi has shown it for years. I remember catching part of a late-night Channel 4 episode many, many years ago and basically thinking "the hell?!" Then I caught another half-episode on cable in Florida when I was on holiday.

It took the wonders of "The Eye of Argon" which a friend of mine was reading in a computer lab one day and sniggering over for me to rediscover the show. Since that fateful day, I have collected many MSTs from the internet and I've been collecting the DVD boxsets too.

I also went to Sci-Fi London last year which did an MST3K all-nighter - I won a Rhino boxset! biggrin

May I recommend to MSTies that they seek out the MSTs of Stephen Ratliff's Marrissa Picard series? Oh, the happy hours...

DW

PS Where's Joel in that poll? And what about Doctor Forrester and TV's Frank?

Jendang would be highly distrubed that TV's Frank is not there. 3nodding

I didn't include those characters in the poll because I couldn't remember everyone. It's actually been years since I've seen the show, they took it off of Scifi. I'll redo the poll and include them, though. 3nodding

I'd love to get the boxsets, I'd have too much fun watching them. They cost so much here, though. Perhaps I can see if I can get them for either Christmas or my birthday.

It's worth checking out the online stores, they offer a healthy discount to Rhino's recommended retail price. Living in the UK, I get all mine from playusa.com. I've not got volume 8 or 9 onwards, I really ought to get round to increasing my collection - especially since every so often, Rhino's rights to the underlying movie expire...

We have a store in our mall here that sells some of the volumes, they're a bit expensive, though. I can't remember exactly what volumes of it they have, I think I saw 7 and 9; those are the only two that I can recall.

A quick check on deepdiscountdvd.com shows boxsets available from around $36 to $40. Not bad for 4 discs smile

MSTies may also be interested in rifftrax.com. Mike (and occasionally Kevin Murphy, aka Bobo / Tom Servo) basically gives the MST3K treatment to more modern movies. You download the mp3 and run it with your own DVD copy of the movie in question. Latest I think was The Fellowship of the Ring; they've done X-Men in the past and something with Tom Cruise (potentially Top Gun?).

They offer tips on how to synch the mp3 with the DVD format, whether you're US region 1 or UK region 2.

Nice to see he's keeping busy smile

I'll have to look up that website, I bet them making fun of LOTR was hilarious! I love the movie/book, but the spoofs are always great.

???? I've never heard of it before. Is it old?
PostPosted: Wed Apr 04, 2007 9:19 am


I think it's 15-20 years old now. I haven't seen much of it though.

It ran from 1989 to 1999, starting off on KTMA (Minnesota), moving to The Comedy Channel (later Comedy Central) and then to the Sci-Fi channel, where it finished.

Sci-Fi used to air reruns regularly up until about a year or so ago, when their rights to the underlying movies all expired.

In the UK, we got MST3K: The Movie on ITV1 a couple of times last year (or was it the year before?). I think I caught one episode on Channel 4 many, many moons ago. Other than that, we were sadly deprived.

DW

EDIT: For those of us in the UK, Sci-Fi London is holding an MST3K all-nighter for the second year running. It starts at midnight Saturday May 5th and features four episodes, with free coffee / tea / red bull & muffins & ice cream in the intervals.

Last year I won a boxset biggrin Thank you, Rhino!

For more details and booking, see http://www.sci-fi-london.com/2007web/moviepages/mst3k.html

Well worth checking it out if you're in London or likely to be - entrance is £24 a head, but that's equivalent to £6 per movie, which isn't bad (especially for the capital!).

I'm booking tickets & rail tickets as we speak...

My dad and I used to watch it togather...that show rocked! it allowed you to see crappy movies, and make fun of them DURING the movie without getting in trouble...

usually the person who talks all the way through movies is annoying, but not this!!! HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

It's been so long since I've seen it I can barely remember the names of any of the characters.
