	You should really just relax. Dubbing new dialog onto lame movies 
has been around as long as there've been lame movies. The most recent "major"
TV version, circa 1983, was "Mad Movies", a syndicated show that was around
for a couple of years, usually runing late at night so no-one would have 
to watch it. 
	Live improvisation of lines makes it a bit more enjoyable, and you
can see this very thing done by professionals periodically on Comedy
Central's own "Who's line is it anyway?"
	In any case, it's a very different beast from what the MST3K crew does.
MST3K is not improvised, but more importantly, it consists of commentary,
rather than replacement. Original lines are augmented, not obliterated. An 
entirely distinct phenomenon.
	
	<raises posterboard bearing drawing>
	This over here is the original dialog. This side is the finished
product. You can see that up here, where it's dubbed, the dialog (and thus
the humor) is stunted and kinda weak-looking, Like it smoked too much when
it was a kid or something. Down here, where MST3K is, you've got not only 
the original dialog but the added commentary. Look how strong and robust the
humor is there. Why, it makes me want to laugh right now. 
	So, you can see, the whole product is much stronger when you use
MST3K.

I just wanted to emphasize that, since it  seems many people haven't
noticed it. It's about ten minutes after the second host segment
that Comic Relief Boy (in the middle of his spiel about karate
lessons) shouts "Hai Kiba!" (not to be confused with "Hi, Kibo!")
and flips onto his back.

	I can't see the length of the show being a problem in syndication -
remember, it doesn't have to go like sitcom sydnication, where a weekly show
is around for five years, then gets shown every day. 
	I'm not sure how they sell the packages, but I could see most 
independent stations showing it about like CC does, fri and sat nights. Or
staurday and sunday at noon, or something like that. From looking at the 
episode guides, I figure they have enough for a solid year of twice-a-week 
showing, but certainly not enough for five-days-a-week. Depends whether 
the originals get in there, but I'd be surprised.

Tom Servo had a haircut in #205, Rocket Attack U.S.A., which was
probably not shown because it was broadcast on May 1 (May Day).

At the beginning of that, Joel is using an electric pad sander
on Tom's head.  Cool stuff.

Email me if you need the episode, but I have a tape of a tape

This may be a case of MST mis-quoting, but it makes the out of context

I believe the quote was actually "It's the cave of Dr. CALIGARI".  Although I've
never seen the film which this quote references, I understand it's a fairly
surreal film, which fits the scene in which it was spoken much better.  They
used the same line in the "Jungle Goddess" episode as the co-pilot steps out
of the rather oddly positioned door between the cockpit and the pasenger area.
(It's the airplane of Dr. Caligari).

Hey, that's at least twice it's been used.  How many more till it qualifies for
the frequently used quotes list?

As far as BB access to the net goes, it is my understanding that NET services
exist in their area, but so far the only way they get to read USENET is when
printouts are mailed to them.

is an episode guide (not quite complete).  I also have my own episode guide.
It is basically the same as the ftp one, with a few extras thrown in.  

The ftp site is     SYRINX.UMD.EDU.   If you do not have ftp

They may or may not have actually misplaced Servo's head (they have a bunch
of spares, actually), but I do recall Joel making some comment about Servo's
cool new haircut or something.  I think it was just a one-episode joke.

I wondered that myself-CC showing the opening slate before the show starts.
My friends and I do a cheezy amatuer video show for local public access
on cable, and their technicians will sometimes show the slate on our tapes
(the slate is a cuing marker, with such info as show title, taping date, airing
date, running time, and executive producer).  Now our problem is that those
idiots screw it up and the slate goes out over the air, when it shouldn't.
Pretty bad when we're trying to sneak a re-run passed the viewers, only to
have the original airdate show up, letting viewers know that that episode
was several months old!.
