I really don't know how to react to this.
I mean, yeah, it seems like Jim's just trying to desperately cash in on the success of RiffTrax, The Film Crew, and Cartoon Dump. But I'm hoping he would have the good sense to ensure the product is at least semi-decent.
The fact that Paul's also involved makes me ever-so-slightly more optimistic...at least it's not just one lone, disgruntled ex-MST writer going off on his own making a fool out of himself.
At any rate, from what little description we have of the "new adventures", it seems like quite a departure from the original show, with the only real similarity being the characters, or at least their names. Sorta like the difference between "The Muppet Show" and the movies/subsequent spinoffs. Alas, this seems like it'll be too much like the post-Henson-death, post-Oz-departure spinoffs.
But, hey, new merch. That's exciting, at least.
