I know there must be people on here watching the new season, Trashy; lookin' at you.

So far I have some complaints, but man is it great to have it back for the most part. What do you think, sirs?
 
I watched the first episode and didn't laugh once, I remember watching the old ones and cracking up a few times. Maybe I'm just not the right age anymore for MST3k?

I'll watch a few more before I give up though.
 
Well I've been busy with a lot of things, so I've only got to see the first two at the moment. I've liked what I seen so far. The riffing is pretty solid, while I did enjoy the first episode, but thought the second episode was much stronger.

Maybe I'm just not the right age anymore for MST3k?
Well I'm prob on the older side of the average demographic here on the forum. So I don't think age is the issue. For some there is a certain amount of intoxication needed too.
 
it takes a bit to get back into the humor. i thought the time travelers actually had an interesting plot and take on how time travel to the past works (though of course the movie was ruined by almost everything else, thus the riffs).

the voices of the robots, being new, aren't as nostalgic either, but it all comes together eventually.
 
I haven't looked into the new season yet. Where can it be seen?

Last week I was watching the episode where they watched Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. I actually enjoyed the film itself, and one scene/shot was already funny itself, and made way better by a stupid comment.

Actually, I watched it twice...
 
@rygD netflix, it's a different show than the old one (at least, it pops up as a different square in the list of movie/show squares).
 
The good thing about netflix is if it is an original show to them it can be watched in any country where you can get netflix, none of this licensing BS.
 
Me personally I loved it.

I thought it was a pretty strong showing for a restart.

  • The cast is new and their style seems forced in some places, they need to hone their skills but I think the foundation is great.
  • Everyone is complaining about Servo's new voice; I don't care. It's fine. Yeah I would have preferred it was Kevin Murphy again but its not gonna be so suck it up and move on. You have to let the actors define their character.
  • I LOVE the art style and the practical effects they've done with the models and sets, great vibe.
  • Not sure I'm digging the new Gypsy, but I'll give it time.
  • The new movies were GREAT, hope they have another great lineup.
Hope they get another season. I gave it the big ol' thumbs up and have re-watched it a bunch so hope that helps.
