Love the show, always have since I first discovered it when I was a kid, but the problem I found was with the earlier episodes a lot of the jokes would just fly over my head when reference to what were current events in 1988 and so on, however I was born in 1987 so I wouldn't know.

The comedians online get much of their inspiration from this series and it shows when you watch it and the presenters were so successful in making people laugh that they continue to do so today with their own company Rifftrax: http://www.rifftrax.com/ Noah Antwiler from the Spoony Experiment mentioned he wanted to start up something like MST3K, but he never got around to it and went with his own style which is for the better otherwise there would be so many people doing the same thing.

all in all I thing it's a very funny series, however seems very difficult to get on DVD and I can't find any collection that has all the episodes, but I don't know why that is. I will mention, however that I find you have to be in a certain mood to watch it as unlike Nostalgia Critic of The Spoony One these episodes last the length of the movie and over so you have to be in the mood to watch a riff going on for that long, but well worth it on some of the terrible movies they do. Especially the one they chose for the movie.

I just can't understand why there is so much hype about a terrible, boring, lousy, uninspiring and immature piece of trash like this. It is easily the worst show ever made in the story of television, it is even worse than "Family Guy" or "Friends". Basically this show put some morons saying bad things about some obscure B-movies from different ages, and all what they do in all the episodes is keep complaining about how bad those movies were(Wow, I couldn't never figure that for myself!) No, I am not lying: I guess that this pathetic excuse for a show was the inspiration for the internet trolling and a lot of unfunny Internet "comediants"... In other words, this show was responsible for the death of real comedy in the new century. Thanks to "Mystery Science Teather 3000" we had things as the unfunny jokes of Maddox and the Nostalgia Critic, and awful internet sites as Encyclopedia Dramatica. This show is worthless: It should have been canceled after the first episode. It is the worst show ever made.
