...Geez, you're weird.

You know you're weird when a dude with a Klingon avatar calls you "weird".

(By the way, I used to love MST3K. But, I liked the first host better than the second one.... I haven't watched it in a long time.)

I also liked Joel better than Mike, but Mike grows on you. He was a writer for the show almost from the beginning, so you were hearing his jokes long before you saw his face. He has admitted in interviews that he doesn't have the on-screen presence that Joel brought to the show, but when Joel left, someone had to take over, or it would have gone off the air, and he was the only one willing to do it.

Many of the episodes are available on DVD now, or you can see almost everything on youtube...
