AWESOME! Thank you, Shout Factory! More season 3, more Season 7, and the final piece of the ED WOOD trilogy! thank you!!!
And this gives me hope we’ll see the FUGITIVE ALIEN episodes at some point!!!
“A Young Man’s Fancy crinkle-cut potatoes”
As a mathematical note, this set’s release will mean seasons 3, 6, and 7 will all be at or beyond 50% released (3 will actually make it to 54% having 13 out of 24, the other two at 50% at 12 of 24 and 3 of 6 respectively), leaving only seasons 8 and 9 below 50% (both of which can get there with release of Horror of Party Beach, Invasion of the Neptune Men, and, say, Quest of the Delta Knights or The Screaming Skull or Puma Man if they ever find the rights holders). 98 of 176 non-KTMA episodes have been released on DVD (counting Godzilla vs. Megalon’s abbreviated release), or about 56%.
That said, hey, more Japanese fun, and more Ed Wood! And the Brute Man!
Ooo. I like the idea of a Magic Voice figurine. Wish I had thought of that.
I have to skip this one. That’s what happens when you’re unemployed. I am also skipping the Gamera set for the same reason. Just can’t spend that kind of money. I’m not confident I’ll be employed by the time the new set comes out.
Whoo! Season 7 FTW!
Yes, yes, yes and yes!!
NEAT!
While I’m not the biggest TIME OF THE APES fan, it is still great to finally have that on DVD. MIGHTY JACK I’ve seen a couple times but have no memory of. . .that’s just the kind of movie it is. VERY excited about THE VIOLENT YEARS and THE BRUTE MAN, as those are two of my faves.
SHOUT! does good work. I LIKE IT, VERY MUCH.
Time of the apes and Mighty Jack: incomprehensible Japanese insanity made watchable only through MST-ification.
The Violent Years: hilariously inept.
The Brute Man: one of the episodes I have never seen. Schweeeeet!!!!!
Thank you Shout!
Keep them coming. Lifetime buyer here.
And if they ever do release another figurine I am hoping and praying that I will one day get to play with TV’s Frank!
Hicgooya!
Disco #53 – Good research. I track DVD percentages on my site (just click GizmonicTemp above :-D ) and I’m perplexed as to why so few episodes from Season 8 have been released. I mean, I understand that Sci-Fi could have helped Mst3k get rights to some of the movies they did in that season, but it is the MOST popular season among Msties. Gimmee some Prince of Space and Riding With Death!!
Oh hell yes!! Shout! has done it again by getting the rights to
some of the Japanese episodes from Season 3, the same company
that owns Time of the Apes and Mighty Jack also owns
Fugitive Alien I and II, so we may see those two in set next
year like they did with the Master Ninja’s. This is very exciting!
I enjoyed Time of the Apes, while The Violent Years is one of my favorite episodes.
I’m really looking foward to having a nice DVD quality copy of that one
to replace the copy I downloaded from the Digital Archive Project.
I have not seen Mighty Jack or Brute Man before so I’ll be happy to finally give them a look.
Thank you Shout! Factory!
*faints*
Season 8 has its moments, but I’d hardly say it’s the most popular. Looking at the last Rhino poll, if we look at it in terms of number of episodes total versus number of episodes with high placements on the list, then season 9 probably edges it out.
But popularity isn’t all that important at this point as, when all is said and done, the real reason season 8 isn’t going to be often represented is that there are only a few episodes left that Shout can get their hands on without having to deal with Universal.
Time is my fav episode. I haven’t been this happy about some MST3K since I finally got a satellite hookup and could watch Sci-Fi Channel and MST3K again after it joined them from CC.
Now maybe somebody will DVD Time of the Apes as a movie only deal. The original TV series would be a trip and a half too. Any old Japanese shows (Spectreman, Johnny Sokko, anybody?) would be something I’d buy.
There’s a lot to be excited about here, but I’m really happy to see “Young Man’s Fancy” coming to DVD. (I’m not sure if it was on the previous Shorts releases.) It’s one of my favorite shorts, along with “Design for Dreaming”.
I’m already getting squishy.
#60 – People can vote in your poll without having seen the whole series, so it’s possible (and likely, I think) that season 8 is the most popular season among people who are only fans of the Sci-Fi episodes. That doesn’t say anything about fans of the whole series.
i always love that shout! factory announces the next box just before i get the newest one. always have something to look forward to. 8-)
The last time I saw #702 The Brute Man was in 1996 when it first aired in Comedy Central ( oh memories ), I never saw The Violent Years #610 ep. To >>GizmonicTemp : The reason why we don’t have too many season 8 eps is because Best Brains used Sci-Fi’s library of old Sci-Fi movies which were owned by Univeral. Univeral owns the rights, and it is difficult even for Shout to get the rights of those eps. Prince of Space was easy to release ( by Rhino 2005 ) because it was owned by an old Japanese movie company which is probably defunct ( I could be wrong, unless if someone else has a better answer on how Prince of Space got released? ).
Seeing this set is making me ally squishy inside.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shout Factory, I’m in love with you and hereby ask for your hand in marriage. MARRY ME! (Sorry)
Time of the Apes = top 10 favorite episode and never ever thought it would be released
The Violent Years = easily in my top 5 Mike episodes….2nd favorite short ever (behind Mr B)
Mighty Jack = Sandy Frank! Please, please, please tell me this means Fugitive Alien I and II!
Brute Man = my least favorite of the bunch and it’s still a very good episode.
I’m in MSTie heaven:
Master Ninja I and II are my favorite episodes ever. I bought 2 sets (as promised) when Shout delivered there.
Gamera!
And now, another 5 star set.
Shout Factory, I love you!
Another banked turn!!!
Really awesome news.
I expect to see the Fugitive Aliens next year on DVD. We may have seen them this year but Shout wasn’t to likely to do three all Joel box sets in a row.
The Violent years- The Bobby Knight Story.
So-so movies, but YOUNG MAN’S FANCY and CHICKEN OF TOMORROW are two of the best MST3K shorts.
I’m very excited I must say.
Wow! A box with four episodes that I didn’t already have on video! Sweeeeet!!!
I wonder if Johnny cares that Time of the Apes is finally coming to DVD via MST3K ..
Neat-o! Winners all the way around. Next we need those Season 8 Universal movies in one big package.
Wha…Wha…WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Two more Sandy Frank Japanese imports??? That’s insane! This can’t really be happening. I LOVE those two episodes, especially “Mighty Jack” because the poor editing makes it hysterically incomprehensible.
“The Brute Man” means another episode from the cherished and elusive season seven. “The Violent Years” is probably the clunker of the set, but it’ll do. All in all, this is a fantastic set!
8-)
They should’ve made a Mighty Jack figurine. :-)
Very glad to see Time of the Apes and Mighty Jack are coming! I’m guessing the Gamera set preorders were very healthy, so Shout got us some more Japanese goodness.
I love to see S3 finally getting some heavy-duty love after much neglect. Shout! and MST3K really have become a match made in Heaven!
Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME!!!! I hope ‘Mighty Jack’ has the KTMA episode included as a bonus.
I love all four of those episodes, but I have to say that “Time of the Apes” is quite possibly my #1 favortie MST3K episode ever….not so much that it’s actually the best episode ever, but because it was the first episode that got me hooked on the show! Now, here’s to hoping that Vol. XXIII will contain both of the “Fugitive Alien” movies!
I think I just orgasmed a little bit. Seriously, I glanced over the first two epsisodes on that list and made an involuntary “AUGH!” noise loud enough for the person in the next room to ask me what was wrong.
Oh, and I hope Shout! includes the MST Hour wraps for Time of the Apes!
Wooooooooooooohooooooooo!!!!!!
I gotta admit I had to go back & read the titles again. After I saw Time of the Apes & The Violent Years I saw nothing else for a minute. Yay!
@ “This will not be a limited edition set with figurine. More info when we get it.”
We don’t need more toys. We’ve got the ‘Bots collectibles, they are cool, just keep more episodes coming please!
Looks like they will neve get any of the old ‘Universal’ movies – great episodes we will probably never have ‘official’ dvds of.
Riding With Death heads the list, but there are a lot of good ones like Deadly Mantis, The Mole People, and on and on.
Well we always have Skyroniter.
Personally I prefer my old tapes anyway because of the poorly audible movies in the soundmix by Shout.
#87 They need to make the next collectible toy a standing model of the classic dogbone Satellite Of Love. It would compliment my bots quite nicely.
Amazing news, Sampo! A fantastic set of some incredible episodes. Kudos to Shout! And to Sampo, the deliverer of good tidings!

Check if your local public library will stock them or can get them. That’s what I’ve done when I can’t afford a particular set.
Hey, you got me thinking now! Fantastic post, off to do more research on this, cheers!
For more information on MST3k, The Violent Years or Mighty Jack, consult your local library. And that’s one to grow on.
And with that I am $40 poorer!
THANK YOU SHOUT!!!!
another great set,cant wait,still hoping for that set with the fugitive alien saga.add rocket ship x-m to that,and another space
adventure,not sure witch one tho.any sugggstions?
hahaha your stuck here,love that.
Glad to see Time Of The Apes getting a release. And, like others, it leaves me more optimistic that the Fugitive Alien episodes will follow along.
Rocketship X-M is one I’d love to see in a future release, but (assuming they could clear them at the same time) how about Rocket Attack USA and Invasion USA? A nice Cold War double-whammy.
All I can say is Shout Factory’s been kicking some butt in getting episodes released.
It’s high time Time of the Apes got a DVD release; it’s always been one of my favorites. But I’m even more excited about Mighty Jack. That’s the one with the sketch wherein Joel says, “You know, I’m weird and that results in creativity!” while re-enacting the aquatic battle scenes from the stupid movie with a tank of water and assorted toys.
The only one I don’t care about is The Brute Man, because I don’t remember it at all but know I saw it when it first aired. Is that another Coleman Francis movie? Too painful.
@Euphoriafish:
Not a Coleman Francis, but it is dreary in it’s own way. The movie is pretty well made, but boring. I like the episode more for the host segments, especially the first one with Paul Chaplin as Sandy, Pearl’s date. It’s comedy gold.
Haven’t seen any of them, so this will be a treat for me. It’s like the Master Ninja syndrome, in that so many of you guys talk about Time of the Apes and especially Mighty Jack that it gets me excited even though I don’t know what to expect.
TIME OF THE APES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
