|  | Over the weekend I saw some kind of MST3K "experiment" on the Sci-Fi channel.
They were playing an old "bad" B+W movie, with the familiar shadows of chairs
at the bottom of the screen, but no Tom, Crow or Mike sitting in the chairs.
Instead, they were showing text on the screen that looked like it was being
typed by viewers, possibly dialed up by modem.
It was a similar idea to MTV's Yak, only the text wasn't scrolling, they
just flashed a line or two at a time, along with a "username".
Does anyone know what the deal with this is?  I hope this isn't the direction
that MST3K is going to go!  It wasn't funny at all.  I can come up with better
one-liners than these people were!

| 78.6 | real show starts next week | BAGUA::BRENCH |  | Tue Jan 28 1997 12:45 | 10 | 
|  |     I just caught the first part of the show.  The real MST3k starts next
    week.  The show on last Saturday gave an address for viewers to send 
    in comments live - not a new mode of operation.
    
    	Saturdays at 4:00pm I believe.
    
    		enjoy

|  | I saw the first episode last saturday.  Their comments during the movie were
just as funny as always, but I didn't think the skits they did were quite
as funny.
Also, I didn't like Crow's new voice.  He sounds angry.

Was there any explanation for his new voice?  Just curious.

Yes.  I think the explanation was that he got amnesia.  He didn't remember
who he was or Mike + Tom Servo either.  I didn't catch *why* he got amnesia
though.
Also, obviously the tall skinny doctor (Trace Bellieau?) is gone, but did
the chubby doctor leave too?  I didn't see him at all.

|  |     Frank's been gone since Season 7, taken to Sidekick Heaven by Torgo the
    White.  
    
    You may not have noticed, but in the Robot Roll Call during the intro
    theme, when Crow's introduced, he says "I'm different".  He is indeed
    different, but I didn't think the voice was that different.  I think
    I'll get used to it.
    
    I do like Dr. Bobo and Peanut.

gory details.

| 78.14 | Still 'SOL' on getting Sci-Fi Channel | CONSLT::HOLLAND |  | Tue Feb 11 1997 10:59 | 12 | 
|  |     Alas - I am still Sci-Fi Channel impaired!  I have had no luck
    w/Greater Media cable (Worcester County) in picking up the Sci-Fi
    Channel.  SOL is taking on a different meaning when I speak to them!
    'They just don't care!....'  Has anyone else tried and gotten any 
    encouragement?
    
    I have missed a few episodes and am wondering if anyone is willing to
    set up a tape pool of sorts?  MIssing new episodes is killing me!
    
    Cheers,
    
    Tim
