Mike, although my favorite joke of his was when he wasn't even the host of the show yet: His rendition of the Gamera theme song while impersonating Michael Feinstein. My single favorite moment of the show, which is saying a lot.  :D

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Joel.  All Mike was doing was imitating Joel, who created the show.  As the show was gradually taken over by the suits, it became less fun and unpredictable.  I think the addition of Pearl marked the moment it jumped the shark.

It is true that as the show wore on it became progressively less funnier (with exceptions like Space Mutiny) and Pearl, Observer, and Bobo were poor substitutes for Dr. F and TV's Frank.

They grew on me.  Personally, I think the general craftsmanship of the show was at its highest during those years.  And it's not like it was just Space Mutiny that you can identify as a classic to come from that era.  There was also Devil Fish, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Parts: The Clonus Horror, Danger: Diabolik, Time Chasers, Hobgoblins, Soultaker, The Phantom Planet, Agent for H.A.R.M., Riding With Death, that short with Coily the Spring Fairy, a few others I'm probably forgetting, and, of course, The Final Sacrifice.

I mean, that's a pretty long list.

One of the best things to ever air on television. My god, that was so hilarious.  :lol:

It has been required watching in my house every Christmas.

Man, watching old MST3Ks I'm really surprised at some of the dirty/risque things they'll sneak in.

E.g., in the "Young Man's Fancy" short, Mike as father in regards to his daughter, following a running joke about her apparent promiscuity:
"Double bag it, son."

I mean, maybe this oughtn't surprise me, but you didn't see too many jokes about condom failure in the 1990s, did you?
