So I'm a big nerd for "Mystery Science Theatre 3000". I've been fanatical in my devotion to it since about 1994 (when the shitty Wichita cable company FINALLY got Comedy Central), so when the new collection of "MST" episodes came up on the wish list for review at DVD Talk, I jumped at it. I watched them all back-to-back on Thursday, worked very hard on the review all weekend, and published it Sunday afternoon. Here it is.

But the bigger thrill, for me anyway, was that as soon as it went up, it was immediately the top news item on Satellite News, the official fan news site for the show. They gave it a big push, and I even got some nice commentsfrom the hard-to-please "Misties":

I wish every reviewer would devote this much effort in giving a proper review that the show deserves.

^ Yeah, you can tell that the man’s got a deep understanding of the show. Which is good.

“the weakest MST is still funnier than just about anything on television” Amen.

So I know it's super-nerdy, but this was kind of cool for me.

I'll tell you something else-- us "MST" fans don't fuck around. That review has been up for about 36 hours and it's gotten over 3,000 hits. To put that in perspective, my review of "The Pink Panther Ultimate Collection", which has gotten above average traffic, has about 2700 hits-- and it's been up for over a month.

So yeah. I'm a geek, is what I'm getting at.

The End.
