Mystery Science Theatre


Does anyone remember good ol' Mystery Science Theatre back on the Sci-Fi channel (before DSTV made a really bad call removing that gem)? Mike and his bots Gypsy, Tom Servo and Crow, trapped on the spaceship with nemesis Pearl and her whacky cohorts sending really bad movies through that they're forced to watch, and then there was the mad professor and his sidekick. Humour that was just soooooo way outta the box it had to be on the Sci-Fi channel. Someday when I can afford to splash out around R500, I'm gonna buy me the box set of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Those voice-overs that Mike and the bots used to do on old black and white movies and ninja films used to have me laughing so much I'd be wiping the tears off my cheeks. It's made my week having discovered them on You Tube. I confess, I confess...I've capped my gigs already, what with downloading clips of MST3K every night. Must build up collection, yerrrrrs, must build itmmmbwahahahahaha! And put on DVD, yeeeeerrrrs.

Pardon my momentary questionable rationale there...all that spaceship humour has triggered off my own cabin fever. Tick, tick, shiver.
