Anyone see the new MST3K produced by Netflix?
What do you think? I had my doubts, but I think they may even better than the original series.

(15,265 posts)definitely not better though. I like it but the original will never be beat. Too honest and innocent as a concept to be bested. The new one is a little "hipster" to me, like it's trying too hard to be "cool". Still hoping for another season either way. Joel deserves it.

(6,839 posts)I think they walked the careful line of retaining the best elements from the original series while giving the show a fresh, contemporary update.
To me, the comments during the movie are even more hilarious than the original series. I also really like the new people (Jonah, Kanga, TV's Son of TV's Frank) and love the cameos by Pearl and Joel, among others.
Am glad that Joel is still on board and co-writing for this updated version.
So, yes, I love it!
