Just found this at Amazon.com.

Got me excited.

I think the 3-D pic here looks better, personally. That's why I went with that shot.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Fatman: FINGAL...YOU ARE MINE..
Crow: with bernaise sauce!

Mike: I didn't want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple.

Servo: Hey! Someone turn off the fat rotating guy!

 

[StephanieC]

Wow, I really like that cover. Can't wait for this to come out, even though the SciFi Channel years are my least favorite. Thanks for posting it!

 

[David Illingworth II]

Hey hey, MST3K! Now that's a sight for sore eyes.

 

[MarkHastings]

"Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" LOL

Isn't that the one where the girl gets killed and in the next scene you see her sitting at a desk working?

Mike: HEY! Isn't she dead?


"Girl in Gold Boots"

I loved the part when they were in the diner and (because of the old tape and movie splicing) they obviously cut out the scene where the guy came over to the table and sat down, so it looked like he just appeared in the booth

The comment was something like: "Here I am! - Hey isn't anyone impressed that I just TELEPORTED into the scene???"

That's the equally bad Space Mutiny.

 

[PeterKelly]

So much to buy when this comes out! But I must get it!

"Mom, my nuts?"

"FANG!"

I love Overdrawn at the Memory Bank!

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

I looked online to see if it was availble to pre-order and only Amazon seems to have it up now (for $41.99). Digital Eyes seems to have the lowest price on the earlier sets ($34.99) which is how much I think I picked up Season 3 for when it was first released.

Even DVDPriceSearch doesn't have it up yet.

 

[MarkHastings]

That's the equally bad Space Mutiny.

Ah yes! The one with Santa Claus as the ships Captain

 

[Chris Brunner]

Does anyone know if/when we are ever going to get some episodes that AREN'T currently being re-run on Sci-Fi over and over?

There are SO may I haven't seen.

[David Illingworth II]

what are you talking about? These are the first sci-fi episodes to be released.

 

[Paul_Stachniak]

Nothing beats that "chase" sequence at the end of Space Mutiny.

 

[MarkHastings]

what are you talking about? These are the first sci-fi episodes to be released.

Forgive my ignorance because I've only recently gotten into MST3K (and by the way am a BIG fan), but I have a question about some of these "first episodes".

The MST3K volume all contain the episodes with the two guys (I forget their names) and not Pearl, but I've seen these same episodes (from the DVD's) on TV with Pearl. Am I correct in assuming they just reshot the 'inbetween' stuff and the comments during the movie are the same?

Not that I fully understand your question. But if you're asking whether they reshot stuff for the DVDs with Dr. Forrester and Frank, then that's wrong.

Pearl was brought into the show around season 7 or 8, not sure which. Essentially what had happened, is that Trace Beaulieu, who played Joel and Mike's original nemesis (or perhaps just Master) Dr. Clayton Forrester, decided to leave the show. They replaced him with series writer Mary Jo Pehl, who had already established herself as Forrester's mother in earlier seasons. So essentially that character just took over the reigns of Dr. F's original operation. She also her own side kicks played by none other then Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett (who also took on the duties of voicing Crow, which was Trace's old job also).

There are several excellent fan sites online which track the history of MST3K. For example this FAQ which comes courtesy of the official MST3K fan club.

Hope this helps flesh things out.

No, I realize Dr. Forrester and Frank were the originals...Maybe I'm confusing epsidoes (like the Space Mutiny and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank), but I could have sworn I saw an epsiode that had Pearl and Mike, and then I saw the same episode with Dr. Forrester, Frank, and Joel...????

Actually, I think I may be confusing episodes now and never really saw the same one with both sets of characters.

A lot of those old movies are so similar, I do get them mixed up a lot.

One example was the old Black & White Japanese Space movie. There are 2 of them that I keep thinking are the same movie :b

 

[AndrewDu]

So if you had limited funds, especially after this months release schedule.. oy!!, and wanted to start picking up the MST3K sets which order should they purchased in. Is there any set that stands out as a must have.

 

[JeremySt]

Joel left halfway through season 5 and was replaced by Mike.

Frank Started at the beginning of season 2.
Frank left at the end of season 6.
Dr F. Left at the end of season 7.

Pearl Started at the beginning of Season 7.
Frank and Joel returned for 1 episode in Season 10.

Bobo started at the beginning of season 8.
Brain Guy started in the early episodes of Season 8.

 

[Matthew Watson]

Mark, perhaps the episode you're thinking of is
Soultaker, which was the premier episode from the tenth and last season. Joel and Frank did a special anniversary guest shot on that one. I was happy to see them one more time on MST3K. Dr. Forrester did not appear, however.

One of my favorite MST quotes:
"This is Arthurian, in the sense that Arthur with Dudley Moore is Arthurian."

Tom Servo in episode 617 - The Sword and the Dragon
