God I miss MST 3000. -sniff sniff-.
Am I alone in this? With the state of "entertainment" today, with so much time wasted on Desperate Apprentice Survivors on Trial, there's a big Robot-shaped hole in our culture. They gave me a reason to get up on a Saturday morning. Now I don't even turn the TV on on the weekends. I Tivo a few things on basic cable, and with rare exceptions, delete them later. At least I get outside more. But I still have a whole library full of MST3Ks I taped during a period of several years, which I occasionally dust off, and after turning the crank on the old VCR, feed into my head like a video Quaalude.
Usually, Mike and the bots would make fun of older turkeys as they sat facing a "movie screen" like they were obnoxious adolescents in front of you in the theater. But occasionally they would do something more topical, like their "Little Gold Statue" special, or an awards show. This is one of those specials. In this one, they get a chance to stick it to the current ( at the time ) crop of losers. Lovingly, of course.
Sigh....
Alas, Mike and the bots never got to take on *Catwoman*
