I love this show! So I've decided to mention it cause I couldn't find anyone else who had already. My proposal is a top 3 for everyone who cares to, this way anyone who's curious about it will know where to start

Here's a link to a site with all the episodes.

These are my fav 3-
3. "Manos" the Hands of Fate
2. The Final Sacrifice
1. PUMAMAN!

For the love of buttons watch Pumaman! Its hilarity at its finest.

JOEL V. MIKE FLAMEWAR THREAD!!!

I love Mike but there's no competition for me.

Joel all the way!!

I own the Manos one on VHS.

Do we really have to debate the merits of Joe v. Mike? Both of them have their respective strengths...

I just happen to be in love with Mike.

I think in most cases it depends on who you saw first. My friend saw Mike first cause I showed her Pumaman and I started watching from the beginning. I love that look Joel gives the camera in the opening. That's what angels look like to me

Not excessive!

But yeah Mike's pretty great too. I love that he came in to the show before Joel left unlike most shows where they just decide to switch the character inbetween episodes and hope no one notices.

Well, I'm shamelessly acquisitive when it comes to MST3K, although I've been focusing on the new stuff lately. Next time CT swings around the LA area again, I will try my damndest to attend.

Lacerda, have you checked out Mike's latest stuff? I've read rave reviews from fans, but by some odd coincidence they were all Mike lovers.

*waits patiently for Demosthenes to tell us more stories about the Before Time*

Oh, and my favourite one is Fugitive Alien 2.

HE TRIED TO KILL HIM WITH A FORKLIFT!

(Yes, I know the forklift scene is in Fugitive Alien 1, but the call-back in FA2 is what slays me.)

Carrot98 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2010, 01:03:12 PM »

Yeah Mike was around a whole lot longer than Joel so it's easy to understand where that went. I haven't watched Fugitive Alien yet...in fact I don't think i've even noticed that episode yet. But that'll be my movie for tonight!

Demosthenes knows about the long long ago?

You people watch too much TV. I was one back in the before MST time. I've seen many of the episodes, but not all, and certainly not many times each. I'm the one who didn't notice there was a switch. White guys all look the same to me.

Anyway, if you want to talk about TV obsessions, we could always do Mr. Ed or My favourite Martian. Hell we could even do Partridge Family.

Carrot98 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 23, 2010, 01:21:21 PM »

I know about Mr.Ed vaguely. But the other two? Sorry I think I wasted most of my childhood with Sailor Moon and Inspector nosehair clipper.

I have! I actually *bought* his riff on the original Night of the Living Dead!

Rifftrax have been pretty amazing, but syncing them is a little annoying, so I've been downloading people's mixes.

Indeed. Yea, verily, I was a member of the original MST3K fan club, back when it was on local independent TV station, KTMA TV-23. I even got a tour of the original studio during a taping of one of the earlier, unsyndicated episodes, during which I got to meet Joel.

One of these days I'm going to have to get around to scanning my beat-up old fan club membership card. Yes, I still have it. It's seen better days, but it's still legible.

Very well then.

Bring me beer. And keep it coming.

Ok, my scanner isn't functional at the moment. But for your viewing pleasure, here is a blurry picture of this beaten up, 21 year old MST3K fan club card that I just took with my phone.

That's right. I'm member # 436. Ph34r.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2010, 10:57:11 PM »

I should also mention that the "season zero" episode that they were taping when I got my studio tour was "Gamera versus Guiron". If you haven't seen that one, watch it, and all of the Gamera episodes. They simply don't make 'em like that anymore. And, if you think about it, they never really did.
