On a Mission to Watch Them ALL!

[RVR II]

Well amazingly, I got through the Movie and all 6 episodes of Season 7 in 1 day

Movie: This Island Earth

701 Night of the Blood Beast
702 The Brute Man
703 Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell
704 The Incredible Melting Man
705 Escape 2000
706 Laserblast

None that really stood out to me

So, what exactly happened behind the scenes at Comedy Central for them to cancel MST3K after only 6 episodes into Season 7 (and really not all that long after their movie was released in theaters) anyway

I'll probably take a day off or so and then delve into Season 8

Basically, a combination of South Park being the super popular channel golden child, and the new head of the studio who didn't care for MST3K. And probably the fact that the studio didn't own the rights to MST3K (not to mention the costs of the rights of the movies just to rerun the episodes).

Maybe some of this past flack could be why RiffTrax VODs aren't on a cable channel

I'd really like to know why Season 7 was as it was.  I've heard rumors, but never heard "the truth."

[RVR II]

Finished Season 8

Let's see what episodes really threw me through a loop

802 The Leech Woman
804 The Deadly Mantis
807 Terror from the Year 5000
811 Parts: The Clonus Horror
812 The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?
813 Jack Frost (probably the most bizarre film in this season, if not of all seasons )
815 Agent for H.A.R.M.
816 Prince of Space and...
819 Invasion of the Neptune Men.. were both just really weird

I shall continue with Season 9 tomorrow (Monday)

[RVR II]

Finished Season 9

Lets see..
901 The Projected Man
903 Puma Man (Pewma man )
905 Deadly Bees - NOT THE BEEEEES!!!
906 The Space Children - Protecting a glowing blob
908 Touch of Satan - Reminded me of that episode of Star Trek TNG where Deanna Troi was aging into an angry old woman
909 Gorgo (Britan's version of Godzilla er something )
911 Devil Fish - It's just what a Gruper does

I'll start season 10 tomorrow and will try to finish it by the weekend

[Darth Geek]

Wow, you are really blazing through them.

[RVR II]

And done

1001 Soul Taker right off the bat was just bizarre 
1003 Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders wasn't too mystical with a possessed monkey
1004 Futur War was really ancient with the T-Rex thing
1005 Blood Waters of Dr Z ... Well, that was one Helluva catfish
1006 Boggy Creek 2 The Legend Continues .. What Legend The legend of stank?!
1008 Final Justice Yeah sure a Texas sheriff shooting up Italy
1009 Hamlet Had to have been one difficult movie to riff
1011 Horrors of Spider Island seemed pretty sweet stuck with all those women
1012 Squirm was fun to watch while eating chicken noodle soup

And now I shall rest my mind a bit

[Sideswipe]

Your not done yet, what about Diabolik? 

[RVR II]

Your not done yet, what about Diabolik?

Yeah I watched it but there was nothing worth mentioning about it..

[Sideswipe]

Its the series finale, how is that not worth mentioning?

[RVR II]

Its the series finale, how is that not worth mentioning?

It was just another James Bond type movie only with the villain having a cool hideout and a hot chick that got caught/molded into gold at the end.. Nothing big other than yes it was the MST3k finale
