Well at this point I think we should talk about MST3K.

first of all, why the hell in an age where Pamela Anderson's "Stacked" is released on dvd is a show like MST3K available only in single episode discs and tapes are seemingly random collections?

Secondly, Mike or Joel?

Thirdly, Mike does a commentary track on the dvd release of the colourized version of 1968's Night of the Living Dead, which I found last night; more on that as it develops.

Lastly, someone find someone who can release every episode on DVD. I want it.

    I've never seen MST3K. Unfortunately, I have seen an erotic drawing of that robot. D:

    Mike fo' lyfe. Joel was not my favorite actor. I always felt as if he were reading off a cue card scribed by someone with a palsy.

    I think it has something to do with getting the rights to the movies which they watched. I'm pretty sure they have to negotiate them individually. Hence the random collections.

    I liked Mike better. Probably because ive seen him in more episodes than Joel. I hate that this show is no longer on TV.

    I absolutely find Joel funnier than Mike. He just had this boyish carefree attitude that I thought worked better with the show. He was just goofier and this show was all about goofy. Mike often seemed to be trying too hard to say or do something funny.

    See, I liked Mike because he seemed to be more beaten down and destroyed by his situation. More defeated. To me, that just screams comedy. I never cared for Joel because he always seemed too chipper.

    I guess we'll have to disagree on this one.

    Yeah Mike's defeated outlook on life is pure comedy, especially when his only friends, the bots, take advantage of that and be complete dicks to him. That was my favorite thing about the Mike episodes. The bots looked up to Joel as a father, which wasn't very funny, but they completely disrespect Mike and make it a point to let him know of his faults. Pure gold.

    I would lime this but I'm hung over and it's just easier to type for some reason. Thumbs up.

    And am I the only one that loved the Movie? Everyone I know bashes it unmercifully. And I can't find the fucking thing on DVD because it's out of print.

    I believe it was the "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" episode.

    I cannot fall asleep during movies. Never have been able to. Sometimes I'll try, and I just cannot do it.

    But Daredevil put me to sleep twice. It is such a steaming pile of shit.
