Before what can be called a Season 1, there was a ~21 episode “season,” which I have seen called “K##,” that looks as if they’re filmed in a TV station after hours. Everyone has long hair, Servo is silver, and I think the Satellite of Love is mainly pasta colanders?
What am I looking at here? Is this indeed a TV station? What year was this? For reference, K16 is City on Fire…
Does anyone know? Thanks!
Oh, p.s. I did do a topics search to make sure this wasn’t a repeat topic, and I didn’t see one - so, sorry if this is redundant.
These are the original KTMA episodes that aired on a local UHF station in Minnesota…
A few of us here share the experience of crawling in an attic to adjust an antenna to be able to watch these early episodes of the show that grew into something so many now love…
A few of the movies riffed in this season of MST3K v1.0b1 have been reriffed in later seasons on Comedy Central (and one will be reriffed in S13 in the Gizmoplex!!!)
The KTMA episodes gave birth to what so many now love, and some feel they’re awesome in their own special way, and some, even Joel, are extremely critical of them?
If you watch them and enjoy them, welcome to the apparently strange sect of the MST3K cult, er family. If you watch them and find yourself agreeing with Joel that they may not be worth watching (heretic!!! Just kidding… mostly…) understand that you’re not alone… these episodes exist for some as odd happy time capsules (Capsule!!!) of a time we suddenly discovered that maybe, just maybe, we weren’t as weird as we feared, huddling for warmth in the MN Arctic cold…
