Revenge Of The Creature is one of my favorite under appreciated episodes. I love the merciless ribbing on John Agar, Nestor Paiva in the boat ("Like my wife-- not much, but she's all I have!"), lovely Lori Nelson, Chris the dog, the kid getting slammed into the palm tree on a pulley, the hot Joel McCrea-esque dude in the shorts, globe on a stick, more John Agar ribbing, Clint Eastwood, a chimp, and of course, the Creature himself. I agree. I'm surprised when people slam that ep.

This is a great poll, as I think most of these episodes are quite good. I had to go with REVENGE. It's an underrated episode. I remember how awesome it was to finally see another MST3K after the drought between networks. I've noticed that, generally speaking, the episodes that have been released on DVD by Rhino seem to fare better on these polls than the ones that have seen no release. However, REVENGE seems to be holding up well in this one. I would love to see SHOUT! release this episode.

Attack of the the Eye Creatures is my favorite episode, and also, in my opinion, the funniest. All I have to do if think of that oily drifter in a sweater dress and I crack up.The movie was perfect MST fodder. The riffing and timing of the riffs were perfect. The 'they just didn't care' host segment is my favorite ever, and I'm someone that usually skips the host segments. Joel was at his absolute best, and I normally prefer Mike. I don't remember much of The She Creatue or Revenge of the Creature. I loved TISCWSLABMUZ, but nothing can top The The Eye Creatures.

But in this case ISCWSLABMUZ is the only officially released episode and as of right now, it coming in second to last.

It has a distinct love/hate relationship with the people around here. While some people love it, many people seem to dislike or hate it. I would also suspect that Hamlet would make a poor showing in polls - even though it's available on Rhino, it's the cliched "worst episode" that a lot of people also dislike.

I'd vote for Revenge. It was one of the first MST3K episodes I saw on its initial run, and I had seen it years before in its original 3-D version (shown on a local TV station). Not a great movie, but fun to watch.

I see I'm in the minority for She Creature, but the riffing is just top notch. Ignore Lance and have fun with Dr. Lombardi, and "watch" Marla English's wonderful design.

Attack of the the Eye Creature is in my top 10, with ISCWSLABMUZ coming in second... A distant second due to my absolute love for the the Eye Creatures. Like many others mentioned, these are all solid episodes. I think Revenge of the Creature is an underrated episode for a reason. The episode has a strange vibe as some of the cast makes a transition into their new roles and the Brains get used to the story arch and other weird SciFi Channel implements. The host segments are very weak in this episode and, for me, I was just anxious for everyone to just get the first SciFi episode out of the way.
Now The She Creature is an episode that deserves more love. It is a funny episode... But its no Eye Creature.
