I'm still not thrilled with the cast, it's like MST3k has been appropriated by the mainstream nerd establishment.
May not be for you. Try a Mike era episode.I've never really spent any time with MST3K but I tried to watch a few episodes on Netflix and but it's just so dry.
Even the lauded Manos episode fell flat for me.
Not giving up quite yet but here's hoping some fresh blood helps.

I love Ken he is my sweet friend and I love him
I dunno, the sets seem pretty lifeless... something looks off. Still excited though!
The fancy digital HD quality of this is gonna be jarring for people after being used to the quality of the old episodes.

Now I will wait for nerds to identify the movies from the trailer. Or maybe it would be better to go in with as little knowledge about them as possible.
I hope the ending credits music, Mighty Science Theater, makes a return. :}
(and here's a version that's been stretched out by 800%!!!)
I had obviously heard of MST3K but had never watched it until literally today and oh man am I enjoying it I can't wait to watch these new episodes once I'm all caught up
See you 297 hours!
Looks great! Totally pleased with how this is turning out.
Crow at the end even sounded like Crow!
I HATE TOM SERVO'S NEW VOICE!

.This has nothing to do with anything except I can't freaking wait for more MST3K
It's going to take some getting used to, for sure. Kevin is a REALLY hard act to follow.
Will Tom even sing in this new show?

That's a joke to when Kevin took over as Servo. Someone sent him a big dot matrix banner with that on it.
Servo needs to sing for sure.

Cross posting my answer from the Netflix thread:
Try Pod People, Space Mutiny and Werewolf. Those are a few of the more accessible episodes, in my opinion. If you don't like any of those, then yeah, it might not be your cup of tea.
Manos is a fucking AWFUL movie to watch for a MST newcomer.
The only other episode I would say would be a better first episode is Godzilla vs. Megalon, simply because people know Godzilla and the host segments are 100% on point in that episode. But it's not available on Netflix.Seconded. Especially Pod People. That's the best episode to watch first, IMO.
Weird seeing everyone recommend Pod People and Cave Dwellers as easy watches. After discovering MST3K on Sci-Fi I went to Blockbuster and grabbed exactly those two on VHS and absolutely hated them. I've grown to love all of MST3K, but I honestly don't think it really gets going full steam until the back half of Season 3, probably around Teenage Caveman. I personally wouldn't recommend anything before that to a newbie.
Elliot Kalan of The Flop House is writing this, so I'm on board.
