Welp, they had a KickStarter to bring MST3k back, and then they brought MST3k back. It's now a Netflix show, and it's as droll as ever. The pilot has a lot of energy, and after a little getting used to it, I'm really liking the new actors and tweaks made after the original series wrapped up a couple decades ago.
Absolutely agree. I can see why people might be initially put off; the new voices and rapid-fire pace of riffs take a little getting used to, but I tend to enjoy the wealth of jokes. Occasionally, especially in the Joel era, there'd be a lull, and you'd realize you were just watching a terrible movie.
We just finished watching "The Santa Clarita Diet" on Netflix. Talk about one crazy and seriously funny show. Timmy Olyphant freaking kills it. Some of his lines and the delivery of those lines had both me and the wife in stitches!
Legion
I've stopped watching Marvel movies (I think I haven't seen one in the past 2-3years) because they're purely popcorn flicks. Legion is tremendous. Beautifully shot, great music, wonderful suspense scenes and Jemaine Clement

Finally started Adventure Time. Everyone I know has talked about it for a while. I love it. You don't have to be high to enjoy it, either (despite what some of my friends say). It's wacky, it's surreal, and it's fun. Sometimes I just want something zany to watch.
Finished this in three days, amazing, most recommended.
I just steamed through this in the past three days. Worth watching, it was so hard to watch in places though.
There is a definitely a "cheesy" factor to it, but man some of the lines and the ways those lines are delivered has both me and the wife in stitches!
I've lost count of how many times i've binged on...
...but I just keep going back, and can't seem to get enough!
Love it.
Perfect match with Curb Your Enthusiasm with the former being the 'nice family' version of the untamed beast.
[doublepost=1492760858][/doublepost]Started The Iron Fist on Netflix - boo. Really boring and disappointing stuff. Not sure I want to finish the season after being three episodes in.
Currently watching Feud! Holy smokes if even a tenth of this is true, these people had lost touch with the real world.
Just finished episode 3.1 of the Leftovers. Easily the greatest show I've ever seen. Both sad and happy that they're keeping it to 3 seasons, hate when shows lose quality stretching out material.
There better have been a substantial reboot then, because the humor in that show peaked a lot earlier than Comedy Central gave it time for. And the SciFi years...
I still buy RiffTrax and enjoyed many of the Cinematic Titanics to augment my old MST3K tapes (yes, VHS. I have converted them to DVD though - commercials and all). I'll admit, I rolled my eyes far back enough to hurt when I saw that Udo Oswalt was involved, and with TV's Frank's hairdo, no less, so I haven't been overly anxious to check it out. Having started my addiction back in '90 (post-KTMA), I cut my teeth on the Comedy Channel "garage days" (ok, just out of the garage) and honestly haven't been overly impressed with the "improvements". Part of the fun was the bad movie. "Rapid fire" sounds like a capitulation to the Ritalin generation.But... I suppose there is always hope.
1995. Yeah, I was that kinda nerd.
Sorry - got a bit OT there.
If the show doesn't have to be current, I'm just starting a binge on Sons of Anarchy since learning that local Celtic Punk heroes Flatfoot 56 have had music featured in the series.

Hmm, it might not be your cup of tea. Apparently, Joel scrubbed through the fan favorite episodes from both his and Mike's eras and tried to distill elements from both. The host segments are shorter and more relevant to the films, but I never really liked them all that much to begin with. To me, RiffTrax perfected what MST3k started. I do find it endearing when the occasional meta-joke makes its way in; it's obvious the reboot was created by fans of the original. At one point, the new host yells something about needing to pause the film, and one of the bots says something like, "I don't think you can do that. We're made out of those special parts." But I imagine that can rub people the wrong way.There better have been a substantial reboot then, because the humor in that show peaked a lot earlier than Comedy Central gave it time for.

I didn't actually know MST3k was a TV show until I was a teenager. I grew up with MST3k: The Movie on VHS and thought it was a bizarre one-off thing, missing all the 2001 allusions.
Jeez, that is amazing.
Personally, I prefer the extended-release nature of Concerta over Ritalin.
