    Not one of the crew of CT/RT/MST3K have ever made it seems like a chore to meet with fans… They are a pleasant bunch of folks to be certain.

    Indeed, I met the Cinematic Titanic folks at a meet & greet after their first public show in Dallas, and they were all super cool.

    I have had the pleasure of meeting the casts at the San Diego Comic-con over the last few years.

    This was a good interview with Mary and I was glad to see her “politely” bring up one of the hardest parts of their fan appearances. That is, the keeping up with all the work they have done.

    We all watched “Sidehackers,” “Pod People,” or “Escape 2000” last night.
    They made those episodes over fifteen years ago.
    They have actually done something since then. They actually have lives.

    Yet we, the fans, expect them to remember what happened when the prop in show “X” was on the right of the counter rather than the left.

    The entire cast, that I have seen, tolerates this from the fans because they are great group of people. Mary, and the others, now realize that they have to do their homework if they are going to meet the masses.

    Good job folks.
    ;-)
