Monstervision

Monstervision is my all time favorite TV show. Joe Bob Briggs and his cheesy movies helped me get through countless tough Saturday nights. Even though I fell asleep during the second movie every week, I especially enjoyed Joe Bob's rants before each show and his tidbits in between commercials as well as Rusty the mail girl and obscure guests such as Linnea Quigly, Zachary Ty Bryan and Eugene Levy. The movies were great also. (the Guyver, Embrace of the Vampire, Voodoo, The Beastmaster, et. al. i recall Joe Bob's Friday the 13th marathon on Halloween being a real treat. I don't understand what happened to this great show. I came home from college for the summer one year and it was just gone. No explanation, no farewell show, just nothing!! Another network should pick up Monstervision or even just give Joe Bob another similar show. It had a cult following and no real competetion at 1:30 AM on saturdays...whats the problem??

Someone please get Joe Bob back on the air. He is THE MAN.

This show has become a tradition with me and my brother.Every saturday i watch and i get upset if i fall asleep in the middle of it.Most of the movies are good or are classics,but every once in a while they show a cheese flick or two.On a scale of * being horrid and ***** being great id give it a ****************

Monstervision was a great show hosted by Joe Bob Briggs. JB would comment on the movies playing, usually 2 every Saturday night. Joe Bobs comments included little known trivia and behind the scene facts about the featured shows. Hopefully another network will pick up Joe Bob Briggs. Email me if anybody has shows on tape and would like to trade from my over 80 shows.

TNT pulled this great Saturday night show off the air and now they have a big hole there. Hosted by Joe Bob Briggs it generally featured films of a creepy nature but also included Sci-Fi and even at times comedies. Joe Bob of course made the show what it was with help from his various Monster vision mail girls. Once there were a number of Monster movie programs that featured colorful hosts like on this show. Now with this one gone it looks like that complete era may be done for good.

Ah, yes, Joe Bob Briggs, host of TNT's Monstervision!

The show was a great movie show and Joe Bob was a great horror movie host. I liked the episodes where he sat outside his trailer instead of inside it. That's a weird quirk for me, but I liked the outside of the trailer rather than inside it.

Joe Bob was and is a great movie host like Commander USA but the show got a bit dull towards the end of its run. They started doing this annoying shot towards the end of the series where they would cut to Joe Bob after a commercial and then pan past some tacky looking scrub brush and up to Joe Bob sitting outside his trailer. What was with that shot? Maybe I'm nitpicking but that annoyed the hell outta me.

And the banter with Reno the mail girl was great. I never liked Rusty the mail girl though. She was just an annoying bimbette. Long live Reno and long live Joe Bob!

And I especially loved the Monstervision music video. With the song lyrics "tearin' the heart out of Saturday Night". I guess it was just more of an extended promo for the show, but I still dug it!
