Oh man the best part is where Lee Majors is there.
Joel: Say what you want, but Lee Majors has a nice rump.
*Lee turns back towards the screen*
Crow (as Lee): You guys talking about my butt? Heh, you crack me up, I've seen your show.

Yeah, the whole exercise came off as kind of unnecessary, and the lousy production of a dubbed version of Shakespeare didn't help either.typhonsentra said:

Joel > Mike
I really lost interest in MST3K after Joel left, but then it was easy for me to feel that way since I moved to London a week after the Mitchell episode aired so I really couldn't watch the show anyway. To me, MST3K basically ended right there. I've picked up some tapes and DVDs with Mike on it but it doesn't feel the same and anything without Frank isn't worth remembering.
TV Frank! He's the best!

:lol I had a dream two weeks ago where Mike came over to visit all drifter style. He'd apparently had a bad time of things since the show was cancled and was looking for a place to crash. In the dream I showed him my MST3K Info Club card and then told him I thought Joel was better :lol

Currently rewatching one of my favorite episodes: Prince of Space.
[The chicken-men's spaceship, which looks rather chicken-ey itself, flies about, terrorizing the people in the street.]
Servo [as Citizen]: Oh! A giant roast chicken!
Crow [as Citizen]: It is brown on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside!
Mike [as Citizen]: It is not fermented, pickled, or raw! Run!

Now that there have been so many bad movies since MST last aired, can they bring it back? Please?
I'd have to imagine the show was incredibly cheap to produce for original programming and it was better than nearly anything on Comedy Central (or TV in general, for that matter) today.

What is up with the Mike Joel debate
they both wrote for the show
so Joel was saying Mike lines when he was up there (except for the REALLY early stuff)

MST3K is the one cancelled show most worthy of being brought back. Yes, that includes Fox favorites Family Guy, Futurama, Firefly, and Arrested Development.
The problem is, network executives didn't like not having creative control over the show since it was produced in a geographically remote location, and the hassle of negotiating rights to modify the soundtracks of movies in addition to simply broadcasting them got to be asking too much for a niche show.
Network execs, of course, also hate freedom.

I bought the Road House Rifftrax a few days ago--it was great! I'm kinda shocked how on par these are with the actual show.

It's considered "fly-over country" for LA and NY folk.
Speaking of rebirths, I'd never heard of this until it popped up on my Netflix recommendations:

Is this all those guys do nowadays? I love supporting them and stuff, but I'd hate to think their only form of work is doing self-sponsored net releases of commentaries and the occasional DVD track. They're too good to be relegated only to this--they've gotta be writers for a show or something.

My friends were forcing me to watch Desperate Housewives, and Kevin Murphy was listed in the credits.
Checking wikepedia though, it seems to be a different person.

Rifftrax has been around for over a year, id imagine it's doing pretty good for itself. If these guys like making fun of movie, let them.
As for other things, alot of the actors/writes seem to do alot of wrting for various shows and have occasional acting work. Joel Hogson, Trace Beaulieu (Dr. Forrester), Josh Weinstein (Dr. Erhardt who was on the orginal KTMA season) all worked on Freaks and Geeks at some point.

I love the idea that they're still doing movies--I was more concerned that nobody else in Producer-land had any interest in them, which would be a shame.

It was announced years ago and been sitting with little web presence... I assumed it quietly fell off the face of the Earth, though that Wikipedia entry says it's a possible 2007 release.atomsk said:
This stuff has only come about relatively recently; between the recancellation of the show and Rifftrax starting there was a good... 7 years? The various writers and staff have mostly gone off in different directions for their own writing/production work. They have worked on various shows, though nothing quite MST3K sublime. It's a bit harder to get excited about Frank Conniff working on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Trace Beaulieu working on America's Funniest Home Videos, or Mike being a part of Let's Bowl.JzeroT1437 said:
Mike/Kevin/Bill have worked together a relative lot, though, as seen now in The Film Crew and Rifftrax. For a while they had a comedy website TimmyBigHands, but that didn't go much of anywhere.
