KingPK 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 *Does happy dance* 'Bout time they got a new season going, I was getting sick of watching the Superstars and Paul Garvey's celebrity fishing episodes every damn week. Plus, since they have a season under their belt already, the show should be even better. Maybe they should get Mike on board as a writer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest OSIcon Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Is it just going to be Mike, Tom Servo, and Crow or are the two guys that normally host Cheap Seats going to be with them? Those guys might be two of the most unfunny people I've ever seen. If it is just Mike and the Bots, then great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Man, ESPN just doesn't even TRY to be about sports anymore. I'm actually going to pass on this, since it's the MUCH inferior "Mike and the Bots", rather than you god and mine, Joel. If it ain't Joel, it ain't worth my time.

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Oh, how this makes me long for a new MST series. ...either new movies...or they could make it animated, and have them riff old cartoons. *Pictures them with Transformers: The Movie* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Wood Caulfield 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 I have heard that they are thinking of releasing DVDs of terrible B to Z grade movies, where the commentary track is Mike, Bill, and Kevin riffing on the films. It won't be exactly like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but this maybe the closest we get. This is just AWESOME news. I love Cheap Seats. I LOVE MST3K. This will be something I just have to tape so I can save it and watch it again and again. I am so happy that Mike and the Bots are coming back, even if it's just for one night only. MST3K is my all-time favorite T.V. show, so I can't miss this. This is going to be one hilarious episode, I'm certain of it. This might be the best Cheap Seats episode ever! I hope that this will be a hour long, or maybe they can stretch it to two hours. I'd be very disappointed if this is just a half-hour episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Oh man, this is like an early birthday gift. If there is a just God, this will get huge ratings and the guys'll become a frequent thing on the show.

It won't be exactly like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but this maybe the closest we get. I've got the Mike Nelson autographed Carnival of Souls DVD and Mike is hilarious doing the commentary. If you add on Kevin and Bill then life would be perfect. They should just be the alternate commentary track on every DVD the company releases. And if they have a special autographed edition for sale, I'd buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 This might be the best Cheap Seats episode ever! Pretty much assured to be since those two dipshits that host Cheap Seats may be the least funniest people on tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Randy and Jason aren't that bad, but the little skits they do sometimes are just not funny (the erotic cake maker that wants to break the gender barrier of a mini golf course, for one). It also depends on what they riff. Celebrity hosted events, Wide World of Sports and spelling bees are always comedy gold (because of the cheese factor), but doing a single game for the whole show (Stanford-Cal, Gretzky's first game in Edmonton) never really works.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted March 3, 2005 On the subject of commentary on DVDs that haven't gotten the MST treatment, does anyone else own the Anniversary Edition of Reefer Madness with Mike Nelson on commentary? It's pretty good stuff, not to mention it's Reefer Madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
