Cheap Seats! Anyone else watching?

These guys are starting to really get something going here. Just watched the Roller Derby ep last night and laughed my ace off all the way through. It's like MST3K but with bad sports programs.

I never hear about it anywhere and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one watching this show.

My advice... check it out if you haven't yet. Very funny show.

I'm watching it too, and I LOVE it!!

Have you seen the Spelling Bee episode yet? That one's the best so far, in my opinion.

MST3K for bad sports shows - exactly how I describe it to friends!

Great Show. Steve Garvey Celeb. Fishing is my new favorite.

I've watched it a few times when Tivo has grabbed it as a suggestion. But I haven't bothered to setup an SP for it yet.

I have watched one episode when they were doing Olympic Weight lifting.

It is funny but I do find it a bit odd the guys on the show remind me of the Fab 5 or some other gay show. It might just be exactly what they wanted to portray but I just found it a bit strange.

Has anyone seen an episode with Pro Wrestling yet? Their commercials look like they did one, but I've never seen it, nor was it a part of the 'marathon' this past weekend.

The spelling bee episode is my favorite so far, but there have been some funny bits in most episodes.

Some of my favorites:

Referring to "female Steve Perry" in the roller derby episode
Referring to "fat Andy Kaufman" in the strongest man episode
Showing footage of explosions when the heavy guy went cliff diving
Having Bill Bergey shooting eye laser beams because he looks like the bad guy from Superman II
"Magic Fingers"
Making fun of Ron Cey during the 100M dash on Superstars

We caught the spelling-bee one in a hotel last week. Freekin' riotous. Thanks for the reminder to SP this!

This was on the first ep and was an instant classic. They could do Pro Wrestling every week and I'd be happy. Very funny stuff.

My only complaint about the show is that it's been cut to 30 minutes now. That's just barely enough time for these guys to warm up.

That Zod! bit was probably the funniest I've seen from the guys so far. That and the entire roller derby ep.

Spread the word!! This show needs to be kept alive!!

I'm going to activate ESPN Classic just to get this. Schweet!

Yeah. When I set up the SP TiVo recorded the half hour Spelling Bee ep. and didn't record the hour long version in the marathon. Speaking of the marathon, there was a heads up on the MST3K Satellite News website about it. Jason and Randy hosted a MST3K symposium back in Jan. According to the website, they came off as real "MSTies". Big surprise, huh? :D

Nah, give me the condensed, 30 minute version. I never found any of their skits to be even remotely in the neighborhood of funny.

I liked the ep. where they're looking for truly manly men and then show Calvin Murphy in a baton twirling competition. And their constant splicing of the Bikini Atoll nuclear explosion whenever the fat Mexican diver hit the water was funny.
