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.

I've been watching this show for three years now, and I simply love it because of how funny Joe Bob Briggs is. In fact, he's my idol now.
Every Saturday night I tune into TNT to watch the cheesy flicks he hosts, and I like only SOME of the ones he plays. My favorite segments in his show are when he reads some fain mail on the air with Rusty the Mailgirl (because I send some in) and when he does the Drive-In Totals for a film he shows. I hope that "Monstervision" remains to be the longest running television series, as long as everyone's favorite funny man stays as host. It wouldn't be the same without him. You can also catch Mr. Briggs make cameo appearances in films such like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2", "Casino", "The Great Outdoors", and "Face/Off".
Right next to Howard Stern, Joe Bob Briggs may top over the classy radio DJ as the "King of all Media".

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.
did TNT have to pull this show? This was a great show, with great, dumb cheesy B-horror flicks. I liked it when Joe Bob, made fun of the movies, and of the actors, as well as give some " May not have known" tid-bits about the movies. The drive-in totals were great.
7 dead bodies 1 slit throat 1 skull bashing Leg-fu Zombie-fu Chainsaw-fu Mummy-fu
it was great, TNT should at least put this in re-runs, or make new episodes.
