Agreed. The chemistry of the riffmakers is critical to the success of the show. I knew that the actors were libs but they were funny libs. Anyone who catches “Watter’s World” knows that a substantial segment of our society holds a paper-thin understanding of the world around them.

I wish them luck.

Great post. Completely agree the younger generation has lost that optimism for the future. When they choose to stay play video games rather than drive, adventure, explore, it says something about where we are headed.

I find tremendous irony in some of the MST3K spoofs from the 50's. Those PSA-type productions by the Ag Council and Safety Council....they are so goofy to watch now, but they teach core principles for life: how to work safely, how to drive, how to save money, etc. It's great to make fun on them like Mike and bots did, but I find endearing qualities in those lessons. We do not have any grounding of the sort in today's society.

All about the chemistry - I have watched some of the Rifftrax live shows and Nelson, Corbett, & Murphy are fantastic together. Not sure if the new crowd can recreate this. Maybe they will do fine in their own way.

Couldn’t agree more. Twice the jokes of the originals

AND they didn’t give in to working in blue material. I can watch it with my kids. Five stars for this reboot

Deep Hurting was my name on Netrek. Whether it was the pain I gave or the pain I suffered depended on the game situation.

For me the key to success with shows like this is modest expectations. I don’t approach them demanding to be dazzled - just make me laugh a bit and please try to limit gratuitous offense. Other than that I’ll be fine.

I must admit that reading that anyone involved in any way with a bottom-feeder like john stewart raises my hackles. We’ll see how it goes.

18 years after season 10 ended in 1999.

Wow, has it been that long? Maybe they should rename it Mystery Science Theater 3018..........

There may be a free month of Netflix available.

And of course the www.Rifftrax.com guys are on fire. Go see Samurai Cop at a theater near you Tuesday.

If you don’t subscribe to Netflix but have a Roku box, Comet TV carries MST 3000 on Sunday evenings. And their streaming channel can be added for free.

Comet TV is also available in many areas over the air through an antenna. It recently replaced GET TV in my area.
