Posted by Sampo, on December 14th, 2013 Speaking of Dr. Who, alert regular Paul writes:
Hi. How about a weekend discussion thread about favorite “Dr. Who” references on MST3k? “Dr. Who” recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its debut on television. MST3k just recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its debut. The upcoming “Dr. Who” Christmas special will be airing this month, ushering in the next Doctor. I feel its rather appropriate to include a weekend discussion thread about this. The fan base of MST3k and Dr. Who have a lot in common. Entertainment Weekly once listed “Dr. Who” and MST3k as the No.1 and No. 4 greatest cult TV shows of all time. MST3k and “Dr. Who” fans were regularly engaged in taping episodes near the start of their runs, with early “Dr. Who” fans taping episodes on audio tape as video cassette recording didn’t yet exist, including many episodes whose videotape masters no longer exist or are lost for now, doing their part to preserve them. MST3k fans have been taping episodes since the KTMA days and have made them available through tape trading and the Internet. So with that, I think we should all list our favorite Dr. Who riffs made during the show, even though I haven’t watched much of Dr. Who at all.
My favorite Dr. Who riff is in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: “Dr. Who…the Hell Cares!”
Simple yet effective riff. What’s yours
Have at it!

Posted by Sampo, on December 10th, 2013 A few unrelated things:
First–If you live in Northeastern Pa., Thursday is Bad Movie Thursday with MST3K at the Scranton Cultural Center. The movie, natch, is “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” We start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10.
Reviews for Santa’s Village of Madness and Ghosthouse just popped up on dvdcorner.net.
He died in August, so it’s a bit late for a full obit, but RIP to Larry Pennell, who played Major Thomas in episode 906- SPACE CHILDREN and may be best remembered as Dash Riprock on “The Beverly Hillbillies.”
Yahoo.TV did one of those dumb slideshow articles: “Bots We Want to Partner Up With.” Guess who’s in the second slot?
