Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This was one of those episodes that was almost impossible for me to get through, especially in one sitting. The movie is no fun at all until the last quarter, Joel and the bots are listless (hey, welcome to Season One), and the whole thing just feels like slow punishment. Love the guys, but we all have off days. This was one of them. If you're planning on getting someone into MST3k, this is not the episode you want to choose.
Some early promos imply that this, not The Crawling Eye, was the first episode to air on the Comedy Channel way back in 1989, even though The Crawling Eye was produced first.
It's fortunate that CC was more desperate for anything to fill time on their schedule than they were for ratings. Under modern TV practices we'd be lucky if MST3K lasted to a second episode, let alone long enough to work out the issues that are so apparent here.
