That's the one with the whacky robots "watching" the show and making comments on it isn't it?

I only discovered MST3K less than a decade ago. Not since 'Foul Play' (Kojak! Bang Bang!) have I been unable to see through tears and unable to breathe through hiccups of laughter.

Even better than MST3k was Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Oh my the episode with Michael Stipe from REM was the funniest thing to air...EVER. The sun bloated orange roughy pizza, Zorak eating his nephew Raymond... (he was a praying mantis)

MST3K was a classic. I wonder what movie they would choose first?
