Three Episodes on Vimeo

Here’s the latest news from Vimeo:

Just in time for Turkey Day, Vimeo today announced the release of three newly cleared episodes of cult comedy series “Mystery Science Theater 3000” to Vimeo On Demand.

The newly released episodes include:

· Jungle Goddess, the tale of two pilots in search of a missing heiress and her father’s reward money. They track her down in the African jungle where she is doing just fine, thank you.

· The Painted Hills, based on a novel about a kindly prospector who is murdered and his faithful pup takes on the perp.

· The Screaming Skull, wherein a neurotic woman is driven to distraction – if not destruction – by the ghost of her new husband’s previous wife.

The release expands upon Vimeo’s partnership with Shout! Factory launched earlier in the year, which gives fans of the beloved show the option to buy the entire collection for $300 (a savings of $500), buy individual titles for $9.99 or rent individual titles for $2.99 each. Fans who purchase the collection – now containing 83 episodes – will also receive any additional newly cleared episodes added between now and September 15, 2015. Anyone that previously purchased the MST3K Collection on Vimeo On Demand will automatically receive the newly cleared episodes.

As part of today’s announcement Vimeo and Shout! Factory have unveiled DownloadMST3K.com a dedicated website to rent and download MST3K episodes.

Magic Voice Gets a Mention

We haven’t see this too often. A piece by Molly Fitzpatrick at Vocative.com, pegged to the passing of Carol Ann Susi, who provided the voice for the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz on “The Big Bang Theory,” lists beloved TV characters that were heard and not seen, and, wow, Magic Voice makes the cut! (As the commenters in the story point out, how Molly could have left out Carlton the door man, we’ll never know.)

This is the first time (that I can remember) Magic Voice was ever the focus of a media mention. By the way, the story credits Mary Jo but, for the record, Jann Johnson and Alex Carr did it before her, and Beez McKeever did it after her.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.
