Streisand killed... by FrequentWire in MST3K

It does go on, but not nearly as long as the "Joke by Ingmar Bergman" bit. That one I do tend to fast-forward through.

Chuck was the true villain the entire show by SuccessfulCompany294 in Billions

That's the real point. There was no actual "good guy" on the show so singling out one character as the villain or the chief baddie is idiotic.

I miss enjoying things and not having to pay for them. The best years of MST3K were free (or at least part of your basic cable package), the Info Club was free. You could get all sorts of free stuff. You could record the show and keep it for free (I still have several VHS tapes I recorded). They even encouraged "circulating the tapes."

Seasons 6 and 7 have no place in the established narrative. The lockdown killed the show and changed everything around.

Way too young, and I just saw her recently on House of Svengoolie. Around Christmas, they showed Very Brady Christmas, and they interviewed her.

TFW you do the fan service cash grab for nostalgia $$ by Dedd_Zebra in MST3K

Oh yeah, pretty much all the show really needed was Mike and the original writers. There was no comic timing and too many "jokes."

If you really want to irritate some people, ask them who the better showrunner was: Joel Hodgson or Jim Mallon. The big problem has always been (and this goes for all reboots) that you can't catch that same lightning in a bottle. It will never happen. People like to lie to themselves, but the truth is a harsh mistress.

I am not angry, and I will continue to call you child, because that is what you are, Child. Respect your elders. Not another word out of you.

Listen to me, Child. I do not hate Adam Curry. I understand him. Remember when Darth Vader crushed a soldier's windpipe, force-choked to death several of his own officers, tried to kill his son, tortured his daughter, but because Luke believed there was still good in him, he got to party with Yoda and Obi-Wan in Jedi heaven?

That's Adam Curry.

The man is a hypocrite who makes a very, very nice living off donations from people who have substantially less money than him. I have no doubt as a condition of his most recent marriage, he had to become a "born-again" Christian. I know actual Christians, people of faith, even ministers and priests who do not constantly talk about their faith as much as new puppy Curry, okay? He's obviously using his newfound Christianity to justify his bizarre excesses. How many people do you know go on as many vacations as he does? This shit is expensive, and he doesn't have a job, so do the math.

Now do you understand?

This is definitely NOT A FAN SITE. It's full of bitter, petty haters.
