    Alien From LA sells it for me–but the other three eps are all winners, too. Thanks again, Shout!

    Wow, terrific episodes spread well across seasons and I never thought Magic Sword and Alien from LA would get official releases. People might whine about only one Joel episode, but I’ll be too busy listening to “My Wild Irish Ireland” to care. Even without extras, great job, Shout Factory!

    DANGER!! BIFOCALS

    I don’t generally buy the sets anymore due to all my money packing its suitcases, putting on its little fedora and walking out the door, but for this set I will make an exception.

    Aw man, only one Joel episode? :/ bummer.

    Eh, well to say to dsman71’s comment – alot of episodes from Joel era look like unlikely to be released (*cough cough* Godzilla vs the Sea Monster The Amazing Colossal Man It Conquered the World *cough cough*), though hopefully they aren’t running out of easy Joel episodes to release just yet. If anything I think maybe they’re just balencing out the episodes from Universal and MGM.

    But anyway, awesome set! I’ve seen all but Mole people. Danger Death Ray is a really funny one. Baba-da-da-da-da. Can’t wait to see it :)

    A great bunch of episodes!

    (I’ll admit that I was hoping for The Deadly Bees, The Screaming Skull, or Space Children, but these are fantastic, too!)

    An interesting list of episodes I really enjoy, but none I would call a favorite. Danger Death Ray is tons of miniature fun. Watching Alien from L.A. (hugs and kisses) is like watching the Super Mario Bros movie with a thick layer of dust on my glasses and with mice squeaking in my ears, but has a cracked charm. Oh, Kathy…

    I’m more of a Joel/CC-era person, but I’m glad Shout is taking advantage of their license with Universal. I wonder if there is a limit to the number of Univ. eps they can have in one set? I’m hoping Terror From The Year 5,000 and The Thing That Couldn’t Die are on the horizon.

    Now that I have that “Danger! Death Ray” theme music wedged in my head for the rest of the day, I’d like to say, “Thanks, Shout!”. We need more John Agar to help keep us informed. Steve Allen may have thought of everything, but it took Agar to really talk it all out.

    The Mole People is one of my favorite episodes. It’s one of the few I remember watching (and taping!) on broadcast. I’ve only seen Alien from L.A. 3 times, only because Kathy Ireland’s voice is quite shrill and hard to listen to in that movie. Otherwise, Deep Roy is in it, so that’s a good thing. What I’m really hoping they release is Agent for H.A.R.M. Some of the movies that were thought to be impossible to release have come out, so I’m hopeful that all my favorite episodes, like the Deadly Bees, Squirm, and several others will find their way into future sets.

    I should be excited – and I am – but I can’t help worrying: What about Leech Woman? Should I rush to get XXV before Revenge Of The Creature gets recalled? :eek:

    Awesome!

    These are all 4 ones that I have on less than desirable quality tapes.

    Magic Sword is one of the only Joels I don’t have a good, complete copy of.

    And if I absolutely had to pick one, I think I may choose The Mole People as my favorite Mike episode of all.

    Danger Death Ray is one of the funniest Season 6 eps.

    and Alien From LA is a solid one to round out the set.

    Only one Joel, but it’s a great one. Love this set list SHOUT!!!!!

    What an excellent selection of episodes! Though I’m always a bit disappointed if there aren’t more episodes from the earlier seasons of the show in this case the later episodes are all some of the best ones done after Joel Hodgson departed. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one. The Magic Sword has been on my wish list for years. Alien From L.A. was fabulous fun with a particularly excellent musical host segment. Danger! Death Ray features a “death ray” built for “only peaceful purposes” and who doesn’t love that? Finally, Mole People was a staple of UHF TV channel weekends when I was a kid and I loved seeing it get the MST3K treatment. Great job again, Shout! Factory.

    YES! “Danger!! Death Ray!” Hands down, my favorite Season 6 episode! Finally! :D And having just watched “Alien from L.A.” again recently and finding myself liking it more and more with each viewing, I’m psyched for that one too! Yay!

    I was worried that the Universal films was just a fluke for one set. If Shout has worked a deal with both MGM and Uni, then I am happy to see anything come out!

    Great about The Mole People. I remember the gesture professor
    from films we’d show to classes in assemblies (for 1-4 grades,
    sometimes 1-5 grades) at a school I taught at.

    Pity how they killed off the girl at the ending because of,
    at time the film was made, fears of being accused of “miscegenation”—now there’s
    an icky, disused term.

    It would be nice to get Revenge of the Creature—for the return from the edge of the universe for all but Crow.

    #18 Mole People placed slightly higher than leech woman on the Rhino DVD poll so I imagine that they went with the more popular of the two titles.

    Shout! announcements always make me happy, this one is no exception. Alien from LA is a great episode, Magic Sword is pretty good too. Not really that familiar with Danger! Death Ray, I’ve only seen it once, 15 years ago. Mole People is another one I’m not too familiar with, and while it is GREAT to see early Season 8 episodes make it onto DVD, I’ve never been a big fan of that stretch of episodes. Still, I never look a gift horse in the mouth. THANKS SHOUT FACTORY, AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!


    I was kinda hoping that INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN would end up on this set, as Shout! recently announced plans (through their very cool sub-label, Scream! Factory) to release a special edition DVD (possible BluRay) of the movie in 2013 sometime… Maybe it’ll be in the next set…..?

    Alien From LA and Magic Sword are among the very best of the series and I enjoy the other two as well.

    Shout! continues to do a phenomenal job.

    It’s the Squeaky Factor!

    411- THE MAGIC SWORD (well, the sword squeals whenever it does its magic – close enough)
    516- ALIEN FROM L.A. (Kathy!)
    620- DANGER! DEATH RAY (Badly dubbed voices)
    803- THE MOLE PEOPLE (Arda, or whatever her name was — the one who ran into the sunlight for no readily apparent reason)

    Thin excuse for a theme, but we’ll take it. Hope we get a Mr. BIG documentary this time – if anyone can make this miracle happen, it’s Shout and Ballyhoo. I’d love to hear what he thinks of MST3K. According to Wikipedia, he’s still with us.

    Been wanting a decent copy of Magic Sword for a long time. Good job, Shout!

    Next stop, It Conquered the World!

    Danger Death Ray is a great Season 6 episode. It’s the episode where Cambot breaks down, and it’s the episode where they finally explain why you can’t see through Servo’s head in the theater.

    Been wanting The Magic Sword for a long time. It was the first one I ever saw, yet I was constantly thwarted by my crappy cable tv in recording it.

    The scary thing about Alien From L.A. is Golan Globus thought the world wanted a sequel! Rifftrax needs to do that one. ;)

    620 is one of my favorites overall. So when do we get our copies of Volume 25?
