1. Croooooooooooooooooow!

Actually I just wanted to type that.

2. Tom Servo!

I love Crow too, but since Tom didn't have a vote yet, I gave him mine.

I miss MST3K so much. :cry:

3. There's always Cinematic Titanic and RiffTrax:

Neither group has bots, but Cinematic Titanic retains the "sillhouette" thing. The "Joel" and "Mike" camps are still finding their groove, working out the bugs, but there's some pretty funny stuff available:

Cinematic Titanic: Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, J Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl: www.cinematictitanic.com/

RiffTrax: Michael Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Tom Corbett and occasional guest riffers like Fred Willard: www.rifftrax.com/

5. Tremendous!

7. I probably shouldn't mention this...

But there are places online where one can find the Rifftrax audio files synched up with the film already, so you don't have to do it yourself. I get the impression the Rifftrax folks don't mind this too much, since they've actually set up a section on their website where you can simply "donate" money to them if you acquired the material from..."other sources," shall we say?

8. Mike Nelson's comments:

Here at RiffTrax we have two goals: to offer you the finest and funniest commentaries available anywhere – and to bake the tastiest whole-grain breads, rolls and muffins made from only the choicest organic ingredients. Admittedly, we’ve fallen far short of the second goal. In fact we have yet to even purchase an oven, let alone learn how to bake. Instead, we’ve concentrated on the commentaries and so far, people seem to like them (except that one guy – you know who you are…)

In order to make the Riffing process as easy and fun as possible we offer our commentaries as convenient MP3s, as opposed to any format encumbered by Digital Rights Management. We also intentionally kept the price low to make them easily accessible. As a small company, we rely solely on sales of these commentaries (at least until we debut our baked goods).

The point is, we realize there are times when you may find yourself in possession of a RiffTrax that you didn’t pay for (hey, it’s the internet – it happens.) All we ask is that you do the right thing so that we can keep bringing you quality riffing for years to come.

9. I'm surprised I left that one out, since I own the complete L.I.S. on DVD...

...then there's Robby The Robot from Forbidden Planet, another classic bot.

6. My vote goes to Crow....although I do like Tom Servo and Gypsy, too

Crow is such a wise-cracker!

11. On the 20th Anniversary DVD set...

...Mike Nelson and Bill Corbett discuss Trace Beaulieu's departure from MST3K and the "should we retire Crow" discussions. They decided that Corbett's naturally sarcastic East Coast humor was a perfect fit and forged on. Beaulieu was a favorite of mine during the Joel and early Mike years...normally I would have had a negative reaction to "carrying on," but Corbett was a natural.

10. You forgot the most important one.
