Anyone who thinks you can swap out "Joel" with "Jonah" without changing anything else is the sort of hack who is not welcome at my slam poetry jams.

So first episodes out and seen, When do the rest of us who paid get to watch it?

Only problem is how exactly are they going to format it so that the silhouettes and riffs don't cover the majority of the page.

I like Tom Servo's new voice. (And Crow's)

Junkie Disease posted:I know the rumor but man, people are watching it now. Today, the internet was down from when I got home, over 6 hours ago, until just now. I was grumpy about not being able to continue into season 5 of MST3K, or play Bloodborne. Then the internet started working and I got watch a video on facebook of my one-year-old niece laughing hysterically at my parents feeding some of her food to a toy. Sometimes, waiting for a good thing and being surprised by it makes it that much better. It's like you wake up on a normal day and Joel says "Hey, guess what, it's Christmas 2, the sequel to Christmas!" and you have a whole new shiny red car to run over Crow with.

I've waited the better part of near on two decades for this. I can wait a while yet.

I sort of want Netflix to just be like "Oh, hey, by the way, April is the cruelest month, Bicyclops, so your show is back on," and then it's there, although I understand why this is an extremely bad marketing strategy and it will not happen.

We have a saying in Chicago "Its my money and I want it now!" In this political hellscape, this wait, I need MST3K to survive.

My co-worker just got back from a vacation they took specifically to see the premier. He said it was great and let slip a detail I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere Tom Servo sings.

Going through all of the Joel episodes makes me sad that there's really just no way to do the letter reading segment anymore. ![]() Even if they conclude the last season by including an email you can write to, it just won't be the same. Ah, well. The world has moved on, and so should I.

People can still mail letters. If the MST3k guys made a point to ask they'd get tons of letters.

Half the letters on the old show were from adults anyway.

Just write new letters, gawd!

Too bad the probably don't still have the old letters. Jonah could happen upon a bag of letters that Joel and Mike didn't get to read.

Can we at least know if Jonah sings the theme tune?

Mister Kingdom posted:When did they stop doing letters in the Mike era? Good question. I never thought about it? SyFy era? Before? I'll check to see if Laserblast has any letters. I doubt it. E: Escape 2000 has a letter segment. It's the last episode before Laserblast which is the last Episode on Comedy Central. I think. RoyKeen fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Feb 18, 2017 |

I think they said it was because of their attempt to tell somewhat of an ongoing story once they got to Sci Fi that it was hard to shoehorn letters into the end of the episode.

I was looking for a funny letter from the Xerox testing department that they read on an ep I watched last week and I found a great thread from 1992 alt.tv.mst3k about sending a letter in from the newsgroup. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/alt.tv.mst3k/i51jhnuHFTw/0X2n4LyJO5QJ

You said "funny" and "Xerox" so I'm using it as an excuse to post this video. https://youtu.be/PZbqAMEwtOE
