There is nothing enjoyable about RollerGator, even with Rifftrax trying its hardest to make it funny. It's my only truly regrettable Rifftrax purchase.

I managed to watch it in one sitting, somehow, which is more than I can say about Monster-A-Go-Go.

Diabolik is such a good finale. The new show better have one Hell of an opener.

I grew up on the Sci-Fi episodes, so I tend to prefer Mike's episodes. Joel has Pod People and Mitchell, though, and the riffs in those two are loving amazing. I like season one a lot, too, because I like seeing the show figure itself out.

I watched it the other day purely for Gregory Peck. He wasn't worth it.

I ended up ordering the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide out of nostalgia and hype. I really wish they'd release an update for that. They basically wrote entries for it with the Sci-Fi Channel's website and all that's left is entries for season seven.

Are the Sci-Fi Channel episode write-ups still available online anywhere?

I like the intro, I just wish they mixed the audio so music didn't drown out the lyrics. Does anyone else have that issue?

When Kinga first starts singing, yeah, but otherwise it's fine.

I think Mike is pretty focused on his own stuff with Rifftrax, but I bet that if Joel talks to him the right way about it, and is willing to pay him the right amount, they could get him to come back to write for and act in an episode for old time's sake, which is really all that I want. I know Joel is kind of resistant to playing Joel Robinson these days, but maybe just for one, short host segment and the shadowrama riffing that follows it. A 30th anniversary special.

Yeah, I kind of hope for the 30th, we can get Joel, J. Elvis, and Trace as Joel and the bots, and Mike, Kevin and Bill as Mike and the bots. Then a filled Shadowrama for at least one segment. It'd be a mess, but fun.

My wife's dad died this weekend, and she had fond memories of watching MST3K with him as a kid, so I'm showing her the new show now. She really liked Reptilicus. We're winding down a bad weekend with cheesy movies and robot pals.

It's not just Fox. Viacom pulled just about all of its programming from all streaming services back in February / March, and CBS is moving things over to its All Access service as contracts expire.

I'm gonna die when Cheers and Frasier aren't streaming anywhere but All Access. I hate All Access, but Cheers and Frasier play on a loop in my household.

Personally I think Chicken of Tomorrow is the best short, as cliche as that is to say, it just has so many good gags, plus the underlying short is actually kinda interesting in it's own right

I ran across MST3K when I was like 8 years old, and it was "Chicken of Tomorrow" that I first saw. So, yeah, it sold me on the show instantly.

Just bought the Shout Factory edition of The Movie the other day. Man, I wish the deleted scenes existed in better quality. I'd love a proper director's cut.
