Happy Turkey Day indeed…
What’s everyone’s Trukey Day viewing schedule?
yay! Can’t wait for this awesome set
101 and Final Sacrifice? Sounds great!
Sweet! Let’s hope for interviews with Zap and Troy.
Two of my favorite episodes (415 & 910), one “important” episode, and one I’ve never seen.
Great set!
Two Sci-Fi episodes? I can deal with it if it means having Beatniks. Time to offer Sandy Frank more money.
Ooohhh, I’m so on board with this.
While I have nearly every episode in broadcast quality condition on DVD, “Blood Waters” is not quite as good as it could be. And as much as I hate season one, having “Crawling Eye” is just too wonderful both for being the first episode, for the (kinda) good movie it actually is, and for being the last thing we see at the end of the series.
More money, particularly in this economy, is always a good strategy (hell, given the economy, just making ANOTHER offer of the same money might work in some cases).
woo-hoo!
Holy wow! Dr. Z! The Adventures of Zap and Troy!
The first episode! The beatniks…eh, not a fan of the crime/youth gone bad eps, but still, Holy Wow! Happy Turkey to all!
AWESOME!!! This news definitely brightens up my Turkey Day!! :mrgreen:
I’m so glad Shout Factory was able to get THE FINAL SACRAFICE (after the surprising news earlier this year), and The Crawling Eye (which means Image or Wade Williams was involved!?), and THE BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z?? And of course, THE BEATNIKS is a classic episode choice. My MSTie-geek senses are tingling indeed.
Fantastic work again Shout Factory!
A piece of MST history AND one of my personal favorites?! Thanks, Shout!
Opus (#6) –
Sandy Frank doesn’t own the rights to any of the Japanese movies/TV shows used on MST. Shout Factory has tried getting the Gamera movies from the Japanese company that owns them, but with no luck so far.
This is sooooo awesome!! I posted on the CT site the other day (jokingly) that Shout! should tell us the next set titles.
My copy of “Crawling Eye” stopped playing, I’ve only seen half of “Final Sacrifice” and have never seen “Blood Waters”.
This is the best Thanksgiving ever!!
I wasn’t expecting this announcement for another couple of weeks! i think we all saw The Beatniks coming, but the rest suprised me.
I didn’t think The Final Sacrifice would be possible along with the Crawling Eye ?! Could it be that Shout Factory is yanking our chain a little about rights issues ! Love it ! Keep the sets a coming ! :grin:
Excellent. Now those who haven’t seen the CE can see what Mike and the bots are- the bots anyway-(re)watching at the end of the last film. Does that count as a time loop? :mrgreen:
I was really hoping for Jack Frost :(
Oh yeah, and also, would you believe, The Chief, the chief villain in The Beatniks. I guess he just got tired of being IN CONTROL!
Final Sacrifice? It’s a Thanksgiving Miracle! Zap bless us, everyone.
CK: I think you are confusing The Beatniks with The Rebel Set.
I wonder if there’s turkey on the sun.
Awesome, awesome news!
Final Sacrifice is one of my all-time favorites…!
#20
Yep. You’re right. (Rats- I’d prefer TRS).
AWESOME!!! A dream set for sure!
Two more VHS tapes I can ditch in the can! I haven’t seen the first two but I dearly love the second two.
What is the estimated release date?
This is wonderful! I love both of the SciFi era episodes and I’m pretty certain that I’ve never seen the Comedy Central ones. Shout Factory forever!
Wow. Ep 101. Never thought it would see the light of day since we’re hitting the 17th volume (plus the individual releases) and we haven’t seen it listed until now.
Final Sacrifice on DVD which was claimed at one point to be improbable. Shout finally used the greatest rights negotiator tool around, more cash.
I’ll also finally get “I killed that fat bar keep!” in high quality. Always a good thing.
Blood Water of Dr. Z? Eh, I’ll take it but I’d always prefer CC era material as just about all late era Sci-Fi material has really good fan copies available (including Final Sacrifice).
Wowie wowie wow WOW!!! What an announcement! Shout just keeps on getting better and better at this.
I’M GONNA MOON YOU!!!!
I’ve actually never seen the MST version of The Beatniks, just the original. So this will be fun.
And I have to admit that when I saw THE FINAL SACRIFICE, I immediately did a mental check to see if it was April 1st, based on the fact that this at one point was stated to be definitely not coming to DVD.
I haven’t watched Dr. Z since it aired on Sci-Fi, but I am looking forward to enduring it once again.
Ah, yes, my friend the squee-gee. I love you.
Rowsdower! Happy Thanksgiving!
Rowsdower? Rowsdower! I am excited for this, and not just because of Rowsdower. Some very good eps in this set. Now we just need the extras and we’ll be all set.
Love The Beatniks and The Final Sacrifice! 101 has MST-historical significant. And even though I definitely prefer the 3 CC era DVD’s and 1 Sci Fi ep model…I actually like Dr. Z. The “sargasm” thing always gets me.
Now, my reaction to a MST DVD collection wouldn’t be complete without the following:
Dear Shout Factory,
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please release MASTER NINJA I and MASTER NINJA II.
You have my personal vow that I will buy two copies of any collection that includes Master Ninja.
Thank you,
Droppo
FINALLY – The Crawling Eye
The Final Sacrifice !! OMFG !!
Beatniks – YES
DR Z – YES
OMG OMG
I love this set !! This is amazing !!!
There is a GOD !! And it is Shout Factory !!
Thank you for the Crawling Eye –
I am literally gasping for air..OMG OMG !
Ive waited forever for 101 , Beatniks I badly wanted an upgrade, the other 2 wow !! Dr. Z is a funny one from the Scifi era…
Oh lord have mercy !!
I let out the biggest gasp of my life.
THE. FINAL. SACRIFICE. <3
It is a real treat when you get a title you personally have wanted for a long time
For most it is Final Sacrifice
For me it was The Crawling Eye :razz:
I’m excited about The Final Sacrifice. I saw it when it first aired and never considered it a favorite but given the following it has I’d like to reassess.
ck@#23–The Rebel Set is already available in Volume XII if you didn’t notice.
This sounds good.
I don’t have Final Sacrifice but I’ve seen it a few times, and I like that one.
I have the Beatniks, but it’s on tape, so this is good.
Don’t remember if I’ve seen Bloodwaters of Dr. Z or not, so it’ll be fresh.
And I’ve DEFINITELY never seen Crawling Eye, and first ep, too. :mrgreen:
Is it known yet what the extras will be on this set? Are they going to have the Crow vs. Crow that Trace and Bill did? I certianly hope so. That will be all kinds of awesome.
Who says you don’t get presents on Thanksgiving? Thank yu Shout! Factory. It’ll be great to have The Final Sacrifice on DVD.
This one’s much better than the somewhat dissapointing choices of episodes in the new Vol. XVI.
Hey, Sampo, thanks for…you know ;). Glad it worked for you.
Happy Turkey Day, MSTies!
@derm #1 What’s everyone’s Turkey Day viewing schedule?
We’re watching Hercules Against The Moon Men right now. Already watched Space Mutiny. More to follow, maybe with a break here or there for some other cool stuff. Watched What’s Up, Tiger Lily? and Robot Vs. Aztec Mummy and Manhunt In Space over the past few nights.
As for the new Volume XVII titles, I’m very excited about The Crawling Eye. It was one of only two network shows I wasn’t able to catch on the network, Comedy Channel/Central. First time I saw it was at the first Convention-Con. Got a tape of it from other MSTies after that, but there’s nothing like a good commercial release. Beatniks is another solid episode.
I’ve never understood why Final Sacrifice is a favorite with some fans. The movie is dismally dull and just saying “Rowsdower” two-hundred times is not the best comedy ever done on the show. It’s an okay episode, but many of the 1980s-1990s movies done on the show were for me less fun than the older campier stuff. Still, any new episodes on DVD are good. Bloodwaters Of Dr. Z should be fun.
I haven’t watched any of these episodes in years so I’ll be very happy to have this set.
Now, how about some Season 2 Lippert movies on the next set?
Im with you on the Lippert titles and or Rocket Attack USA # 41
# 40 – Volume 16 is a great set too by reactions from the MSTies
I feel this huge elation over Crawling Eye..its not only a favorite episode of mine, but I like it stand alone too…to me its an atmospheric film on a low budget
I do like Final Sacrifice , probably not as much as others but I like it..heck I like all these …I can stare at this post of the titles forever
:mrgreen:
I’m now on Godzilla Vs. Megalon having just finished Hercules Against The Moon Men. During the last film I after getting the turkey roaster out of the oven with oven mitts I then walked out in front of the TV with the mitts to recreate the “why is he wearing oven mitts?” bit from the Hercules movie.
“The Final Sacrifice” alone makes this a must have. “Canada is for lovers!”
:shock: what a great set……The crawling eye….holy grail Batman! What’s next? KTMA EPISODES?????
Awesome! I haven’t been this excited about an MST3K DVD set since…well, ever! Thanks Shout Factory!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOWWWSDOWER!!!!!!
Wow, this is definitely one of the best mixes ever. I didn’t think we’d see Crawling Eye ever, and of course Final Sacrifice is a classic. I have always liked The Beatniks, and Dr. Z is an okay but not great episode. I hope this has some good interview (with Zap Rosdower).
Shout Factory, I once again bow down in your direction. Yet another fantastic selection of titles coming our way! I’ve seen The Crawling Eye and Final Sacrifice, but not the other two titles. I can’t wait!
DR Z is the one I’m excited about. I think most of us already have good broadcast quality copies of Final Sacrifice, but it’s still good to have an official one. But I think I’ve over-watched it at this point. Dr. Z though still intrigues me.
I like the colors on Dr. Z. I was surprised by the dvd I got from Skyroniter, which is pristine. I hope the colors on the official release are as good as Sky’s copy is. I finally understood the riff “Underwater photography by Zapruder” after viewing Sky’s copy.
Not to mention that everytime I watch Blood Waters, I get those beeping sounds from Dr Z’s intruments and machines stuck in my head for days.
I also have come to like the song at the beginning of Dr. Z, “World War 2 Boy”. I downloaded a part of it from some website run by the singer of that tune. I’d love to see them include the whole song as an extra.
Crawling Eye is good to have. Beatniks is decent. I see the headliners though as Dr Z & Rowsdower.
“Well, this monkfish is off the roster. He wont be able to pitch for a month”.
