I though it was bloody awful!  Someone should have shot the
fat guy.  There were exactly 9 seconds (by actual count!) of
footage on the making of the show; I had to use slo-mo and
freeze frame to see how they acutally work the 'bots.  What
a disappointment... after the first few commercials, we were
Misting the documentary!!!!

[Fat guy Misting Fat guy on screen]
"It's our Mist-O-Matic Inflatable Dummy... what do you think, Sirs?"

[Fat guy chugging Milk Duds]
"Thar she bloooooooows!"

[Doogie Howser whimpering about MST3K]
"Dr. Howser, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howser!" (Hint: we like The 3 Stooges)

Ok, so it wasn't up to MST3K standards for Bon Mots, but
then again, we didn't have two days to work it up!

from Comedy Central.  The postage seal has Minneapolis on it, so it's probably
mailed from Best Brains.

Best Brains ain't talking. I've tried. They do the bit with the voice change
a couple of times. They did it originally on KTMA, in the bad old days.
Josh left, and they really aren't saying why.

but they were definately avoiding any mention of him on "This Is MST3K",
which is yet another of the thousands of reasons that the documentary
bites it hard.

I was glad to see it, too, but disappointed that it was more of a 
30-minute infomercial for the show instead of showing us all the 
neat things that go on in Best Brains. Oh well, perhaps it will 
have a sequel - This is MST3K II?

I love MST3K!!!  Ok now that that's out of my system...

I live a scant few miles from Best Brains Studios, and I was lucky enough
to be in the local area when MST first started.  Unfortunately, I was not
forseeing enough to tape any of the first episodes.  I do remember
watching a great many of them.  Awwww shucks, if I only knew then that it
would become a national show......beat me if you wish...

   I agree, sounds fun.  How about picking a different episode each week so
that those who have'em on tape can rewatch them so they're fresh in the mind?
If the episode on tv is a new one, we can let that supersede the rerun.  Is
once a week too often?  Is this too much like disection?  Or just too formal?

I must be one of the "right people" who get MST 3K, according to Joel.  
Hmmm.  Neat.  I can count myself among Doogie Howser, Emilio Estevez (or was
it Charlie Sheen?), and a whole bunch of fat middle-aged TV critics!

I thought the "This is MST3K" special was pretty neat, although I doubt it
said anything that anybody who reads alt.mst.3k didn't already know.  And
did we need to be reminded just how annoying Penn Jilette really is?

It looked like they taped the interviews with the fans at one of the Live
showings.  Were any of you readers of alt.tv.mst3k in the special? 

I wish they had shown more clips from the first season -- it looked pretty
neat!  (Especially the going-through-the-tunnel-to-the-Mystery-Science-
Theater part.)  It looked lower-budget, maybe, but also a little bit more,
oh, I don't know, call me a mad romantic but it looked a little more "homey,"
dammit!  And the chance to see them do "Thunderbirds Are Go!" would be too
good to pass up.  I want to see them!!  I WILL see them!  KHAAAAN!!!

Okay.  I feel much better now.

Does anybody know about the upcoming Turkey Day Marathon on Comedy Central?
Which ones are they showing?  What time does it start (I'm thinking it might be
6:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday?).

I know this is a FAQ, but where is the FAQ for this group?  My favorite MST of
all time is "Side Hackers", if anyone cares.
