I first came to MST3K when I was 15 and it was playing on the sci-fi channel around 11am here in the UK. I absolutely adored it but sadly it never quite caught on over here. I saw several episodes and then it dropped off the radar and I didn’t really think about it until about 2 years ago when I was talking to a buddy of mine about the original Battlestar Galactica and I remembered “Space Mutiny” which was a movie played during an episode of MST3K that reused footage from BSG. I went on YouTube and found almost every episode the show and this was me rediscovery. I have not looked back since. I do have to say that I preferred the Mike years to Joel although I do enjoy both. It’s just personal preference. That theme song sticks in my head all the time.
