I was more into Mike as a kid, but became a Joel guy as an adult.

The Joel era was more creative but the Mike era was funnier

It’s not Joel vs. Mike, it’s Trace vs. Bill and it’s no contest. If it didn’t air on Comedy Central then it’s subpar MST3K.

I liked Mike more, but both had great and terrible episodes

That’s the real question. It’s a tough one. Love Trace, love the Mads, but there’s something about Bill I enjoy. I’m at a standstill

Its a cop out to say it but they both really were great in their own ways. Sometimes i watch a few Joel eps and get tired of him and want some Mike and vice versa

If the question was "behind the scenes who was more important" id say Mike.

This is the only correct answer. Imagine being mogged on your own show by a Friday’s waiter

Joel is a better host overrall and has way better presence

Mike is a far superior writer but an absolute charisma black hole

Trace. thats not even a question bill corbett sucks and is easily the biggest fag from mst3k irl

Mike. Joel is okay but Mike was better. Better riffs, better skits.

are we allowed to enjoy both?

Joel

Also losing Frank definitely hurt the last CC season, as he was typically the pre-screener who selected the films for riffing. Then the first season of Sci-Fi limited them only to monster shlock, when some of their best episodes are non Sci-Fi like Mitchell, I Accuse My Parents and Angel’s Revenge.

most of the scifi era was trash unfortunately. You had a couple gems like soul taker etc but the last 3 seasons in particular are 25% good to 75% mediocre or outright bad
Compared to the golden age of season 3 and 4 where there are legit 2 bad episodes across almost 30 films

This is the internet and the post-2010s world. You're either black-and-white about things, or you're a faggot.

bottom: soulless

As someone that’s been on some kind of internet since 1991, this is not a new phenomenon.

From season 2 onwards no less. As in the moment they stopped improvising off the cuff you lose control of your show to a funnier writer

But then Joel was a fucking hack prop stand up comic so what do you expect

Wasnt exactly Trace holding that shit back tho was it? The network demanded they do sci fi shit just like they demanded they have continuity to the background storylines

>lose control
Mike was just Mallon and Murphy’s puppet. They called him “head writer” because he collected the riffs and matched them up to the film timecodes and was the fastest at typing.

Correlation, not causation. Trace bolted when they moved to Sci-Fi to make sick cash with America’s Funniest Home Videos.

let the mikefags seethe and do their revisionist history shtick. Its all cope as joel created the show and mike just stole another guys idea and did it worse

these days i wish i could find most of the movies they watched and just watch them myself instead of having these fucking losers constantly chirping.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen the restored 35mm print of Eegah!

thank you for demonstrating the faggoty chirping that i'm talking about. you're just so fucking clever, who WOULDN'T want someone just like you running their fucking mouth during a movie?

Joel failed at everything else and in rhe end had ro come back and crowdfund more MST3k which itself eventually failed again. Joelfag on suicide watch

>he was head writer because he was head writer but ill pretend something else is true because im a joelfag

Why not both?

Watched season 1 in its entirety last week and I have to say, I enjoyed the more improvisational feel. Of course there's scripted bits, but there's more banter and everything seems way more casual. It also had some more mean spirited jokes which were hilarious because I wasn't expecting that. Plus the absolute best prop jokes just because of how simple and dumb it is:

The majority of their content were public domain schlock (or at least they were before being popularised on the show), so you should be able to find them off of Archive.org or something. I'm pretty sure I've seen some of movies posted on their Wikipedia articles.

And Pod People, for example, had scenes cut out to make the show's running time.

Maybe 4channel isn’t your speed, friendo.

this took such a sharp left-turn in logic, it's pretty much non-sequitur.
