I'm really interested in getting some Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVDs. Really. But they ain' cheap no'whe'es.
So if anyone has seen any exceptional deals DROP A LINE, HUH.
Such a shame they took that show off the air.

They have episodes on DVD? I've only seen the movie on VHS. Have you tried the Sci-Fi Channel's website?

Well, only thing I can think of is www.deepdiscountdvd.com They have the 4-episode sets for less than $40 apiece. The single episodes are around $12 per. If you can hold out, they have a bi-annual sale, 20% off all items, except for pre-orders. It's usually in November and May-ish. I'm sure somebody will post info here as soon as DDD decides to spring the sale upon us. If you can fathom waiting a few months, the DDD sale is the way to go.

You kids today, with your DVDs. Back in MY day, we traded tapes of MST3K, and that's how we liked it.

I posted a topic about MST3K a while back that got fairly long. To boil it down for you, check your local Hastings. One of the 4-ep boxed sets there was going for like $15 when I picked mine up.

Heh! I'm still up for trading...
I'd love to find a copy of the first one I watched of them... involved a clean-cut stock car driver "infilitrating" a 3-man (actually, make that a 2 man, 1 woman) biker gang to pull heists... All I can remember to further the info about it is one of the skits involved a cereal based on the movie with "Crunchy Munchy (Character's name) O's!"
I laughed so hard my stomach hurt til the next day.
As far as deals go, check on Musicland Group stores (Suncoast, Sam Goody, and Musicland) occasionally- they ran a 2 for 20 deal once... Finally got my Manos: The Hands of Fate and Chicago's very own The Beginning of the End, with Wrigley Building postcard scaling grasshoppers! WoOt! :shock:
The DDD July(?) sale is definitely the way to go ultimately. Feel free to ask for recommendations.
Sidehackers is NOT an option.

Hellcats is the episode you're thinking of.
It's no deal at all, but here's an amazon link:

I have a decent sized MST3K collection, but I would give an awful lot to own EVERY episode. I just never get tired of it. I have even bought some of the home brewed season sets that people have put out on DVD, no regrets other than they get pricy.

Nope. Close, though. It was Wild Rebels.

YES! THAT'S IT! Damnit, I want that one so bad. How idiotic is it when you have someone who's as clean as Speed Racer infiltrate a THREE PERSON GANG that looks like the 3000 mile mark of a mudflap?
Good times. :cool:

MST3K is the only show that could get away with putting out single episodes on DVD at full price. It would be hellafied expensive to get all the DVDs they've released. I've only got a few, myself, plus Manos (greatest episode of all time) on VHS.

Though I love Manos: Hands of Fate, the greatest MST3k of all time is Mitchell!! You cannot beat Joe Don Baker in his prime.
