Sadly, I've only seen a single episode. I've been trying to watch it more often.
"Everyone creates the thing that they dread. Men of peace create engines of war. Invaders create Avengers. People create... smaller people...? CHILDREN! (chuckles) Lost the word there..."

Definitely a fan...if this plastic statuette of Gypsy I have staring at me right now is any indication. (That and several DVDs of said show.)
Heck, I've even done some MiSTings myself! Sadly...none of them are on the internet anymore since my primary MiSTing site went *RASPBERRY SOUND* some time ago.

I've been watching various episodes uploaded to Youtube.
It's a goofy series with some really funny jokes, but I have one major gripe with it... most of the movies featured on the show are downright awful. I get so distracted by the films' cheapness that I have a difficult time listening to the characters' comments and jokes. It maybe the video quality, but it's also hard to hear some of their jokes against the movie's audio as well.
If I can find better quality episodes, I will probably enjoy the series more. Afterall, it's a unique television series that launched a phenomenon on the internet.
That, and I love it's theme song. So catchy...

I think the problem is that the movie is shitty quality,
In that case, don't watch the episode Hobgoblins. It is bad. BAD.

The worst one of all time was "Manos: The Hands of Fate." It's so bad even the mad scientists feel guilty about this one.
During one of the breaks:
"Look, I know it's our job to send you bad movies but this time I feel we've gone too far. I'm very sorry."

To those who want to give this "new direction" a chance, don't say I didn't warn you.

MSTie right here. Over here in jolly old England we didn't exactly get a lot of access to the show. We got the movie, and a couple of dozen episodes (all of season 8 and a handful of season 9) but that was really it.
Thankfully a former FUSer sent me some DVD-Rs of episodes so I could experience the show and I got hooked. To date, I've got all the DVDs that have been released and all the remaining episodes in some form or another, including all the season 0/KTMA episodes and the movie too. I also have a replica version of the Crystal Ball Tom Servo as seen in episode 812 The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies and an autographed copy of The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Amazing Colossal Episode Guide book. And I also have plenty of Rifftrax commentaries, shorts and movies.

Typical response. Manos is a bad movie, but there are equally shitty ones and ones even worse then it, it's just a question of finding them.
But honestly, how can that be the worst movie ever when even the Best Brains themselves refused to do numerous movies because of how bad they were? It takes a certain kind of bad for a movie to appear of MST3K, they wouldn't just use any old movies they found.I recall reading a while ago that for every 20 movies they screened, 1, maybe 2 of them were show worthy.

"The Devil Inside is the new scam from director William Something Something. The movie stars actors and was edited on a computer. Somewhere. This movie is the latest film in a series of very low budget films designed to look like real movies! And be released in theaters to make a quick buck via a horribly off kilter budget to profit ratio that the general public seem to be stupidly unaware of! These films use to be called 'direct to video' but now they are called 'first run features'. These films then vanish from the theaters, like a rapist leaving the scene of a crime." - Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia

I'm hoping to convince a mom to get me the 25th anniversary set for Christmas.
I hate how expensive the DVDs are.
