Like Joel better?

[CastletonSnob]

Is there anyone who likes Joel better than Mike? Most people seem to prefer Mike.

My experience has been that more people like Joel, but it seems to have a lot to do with who was hosting when you started watching. (Personally, I flip-flop a lot. Depends on my mood.)

Makes sense that I started watching in that sweet spot when Mike was on the new episodes, but most of the reruns and "Mystery Science Theater Hour" episodes were Joel. I got to see and like them both at the same time. I think it even took me a couple months to realize who the new guy was.

Though the first episode I really got into was a Mike episode (it was Santa Claus), after seeing a lot of Joel episodes, he grew on me. And if Netflix renews MST3K for a new season, we'll get to see more of Jonah for Season 13 and we should be in for a treat because I really, really liked Season 12!
