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.

Well thanks for the info. I may have to check it out now. There's only so many times one can watch Manos and Mitchell (Although, I haven't hit the limit yet.)

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.

lol, thanks for discussing MST3k at length. Never heard about it before but you made me curious. Watching the episode with The Horrors of Spider Island right now and already loving it. Great concept! Loosely reminds me on those Beavis & Butt-Head scenes were they were watching clips on the couch.

Due South.

Classic 90s sitcom. "Country mouse, city mouse" situation. Great score/soundtrack.

Ended up ordering the box set off the Amazon UK website (better quality DVDs from that region).

Cheers

Well until tonight it was the new Hawaii Five-O, but no longer. I as watching it on Netflix but it ended "To be continued on (some other show)". What a total waste of my time. I absolutely HATE shows that do that. Never again.

There's a new show on Netflix called Bill Nye saves the world. Apparently he's a famous scientist or something but I've never seen him before. Anywho, I love it! It's a really interesting light hearted science show. It's funny, I've learnt from it, and I really enjoy his attitude. As in, if he doesn't know something he doesn't just make up an uninformed opinion and shout it out (Alex Jones etc) instead he researches.

Very good!

Stick with it, goes from good, to great to jaw droppingly fantastic. The 3rd and final season - as you probably know - just started, so you might be able to catch up and finish in real time :)

Good to know, we're half-way done with the first season. It's very addictive.

Watching Fringe again. This is the only show I've ever actually paid for all seasons to own once it left Netflix. Each time I watch it, I catch something new.
