Going purely off the pilot Josh Weinstein stole the show. Frank had some amazing riffs as well, but Josh really had some home runs including the best host segment of the bunch.
I haven't seen it yet although my copy will be shipping shortly but I have to vote for Frank. He's always been my favorite from the old episodes. I have been delving into the season 1 episodes to get a look at Josh in preparation and to my surprise, he did make a decent Servo.
I think Josh was funniest in Oozing Skull. Trace was close, but he sounded too rusty. I'm sure Trace will get back in the swing of things soon.
Its funny that Josh was so good in this one, because I never really like him in Season 1.
I am such a Trace girl! I hav loved his characters since I was too young to get the show!!
I like Frank.. I can relate to him the most :D
I could have gone with either Trace or Mary Jo but I picked MJ 'cause sisters gotta stick together!
I voted for Trace, but damn Frank was close on this one. His "Shave and a haircut" joke along with the bow and explanation afterward floored me.
Trace kills me! I don't think I've ever been so red as when he said to that I don't look super geeky! I was red for hours after that!!
Well, my DVD is now several days overdue so I still go with Frank.
Wow! I expected Joel to storm to the front, but he's tied with MJP and being clobbered by Trace.
Tis cause Trace is the shit!! I have always loved him so mine was pre-chosen! They all rock though!!!
How is Frank in last place?? Is there no love for the lovable TV's Frank?
He got my vote.
Buy=t can't we vote for RAD?!?!? ;D there is my suck up moment!! :P
Wow it's totally split the same way cept for Trace who has double the votes of everyone else. I really didn't think he'd be so popular.
I almost voted for Josh, because he had some of the best lines this go round, but it was too cool to hear Joel's voice again. Nostalga trumps a single great performance for me. I loved hearing Frank riffing too. Last of the Wild Horses was one of my favorite MST3K moments.

Sorry, no love for Frank here......Cartoon Dump blows. It is only his vehichle to trash President Bush....as is his blog on Myspace. It not that I care, but the shit gets old after a while. He stopped being a comedian and became a zealot.
Frank's easily the best and most entertaining thing on CT's blog, so I dunno what you expect from a comedian.
This title's thread makes me think of the premise I hadn't realized till now. That the riffers are trapped in a boat this time, by evil overlords we don't see ? That's pretty cool and ironic, but it's weird seeing Frank, Trace, and Josh who were supposed to be Joel's evil overlords, riffing together with him.

I can take political humor, but that is all Frank thinks about. Remember, if you do political humor, you will piss off 50% of the audience.
