Well, there are lots of places you can get episodes of the show, so, want a good reason (beyond Mike’s intros) to get them at Rifftrax.com? In an mass email, they noted:

This is finally a chance for Mike, Kevin and Bill to benefit from their work on ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000,’ thanks to the help of our fans!

Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movie Character Costumes

Troy suggests:

With Halloween fast approaching, it might be fun to toss out ideas for MSTed movie character costumes that you could piece together from items in your attic or local thrift store. (Don’t worry if nobody else gets your costume … you’re like the wind, baby!) For example, put on an extra small pocket T-shirt, hike your pants up to your armpits, and walk around slapping food out of people’s hands as the eponymous hero from “Daddy-O.”
Wha’dya think sirs?

Hey, Halloween is today! Get to it!
