Hey gang,
I've come up with (what I feel is) thee perfect ten episodes of MST3K.. I know its been done many many times before, but I can't believe what some people vote as their favorite episodes.. (The voters must have come up with their list without watching enough of the show first). Now, most of my list are Mike Nelson starred episodes and sorry to say I am guilty of favoring Mike hosting compared to Joel, and I slightly favor Corbett to Trace.. Now for the list. (I've added some runner ups too).
Top Ten MST3K Episodes: (and in close of an order as I could)
1. Puma Man
2. Space Mutiny 3. Werewolf
4. Future War
5. Soultaker
6. Time Chasers
7. Laserblast
8. The Final Sacrifice
9. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
10. Final Justice
Honorary Mentions worth noting:
The Touch of Satan * (I'd possibly replace for Final Justice)
Manos
Hobgoblins
Devil Fish
Outlaw of Gor
Deathstalker
Prince of Space
Mitchell
The Brute
Whose with me?? I know humor is subjective, but I think this is a very well calculated list for long standing fans and/or people who are new to the show. I haven't seen them all of course.., but I've watched tons of episodes. Also, I didn't 'cop out' and list anything because of the shows timeline or the skits in between the films.. This list is all about the movies, 'the meat and potatoes.' Even though the MST3K skits of the show are decent, its not really its reason for being. Those skits are there to add personality to the 'peanut gallery,' (the cast in theater). Also, sorry I don't have much Joel in there, but I really find the riffs in Mike's episodes to be that much more amusing... (I think it's because by the time Mike got in the cast, they had their formula really sought out.) Again, I know this has been done time and time again, but thanks for 'humoring me' on my list, and I hope a lot of you are on board with my opinion.. Thanks. -Tony

Uhh yeah...I think there's way too much Mike/Sci-Fi era on here to be a "perfect" top ten. Come on, not even Pod People makes it somewhere? I like the Sci-Fi era as much as the next guy, though I can't say it's my favorite overall. And there's many people who still like Joel a lot too. Better believe it, bub.

really wish I could 'divi' it up more... but I just find the episodes Mike did to be that much better..I had significantly more laughs., couldn't help it.. Pod People was great I must agree.... but as a 'for instance,' I literally just got done watching 'Daddy-O' for the first time, and people seem rate season 3 very highly.. and I really did not find myself laughing along too much with it at all really... Wish I saw what everyone else did in the older episodes..

It's okay of you don't really "get" Joel as much, not everyone does, but I believe if you're going to make a top ten list, especially one that most people would be happy with, it would be best to appreciate all the different eras the show had. I admit I'm more of a Joel person, but I like Mike's work a lot too. In any case, welcome to the board.

Yes, welcome stickmanxo! Nothing wrong with preferring Mike to Joel or Bill to Trace. Everyone has their particular cup of tea.
You might get a better response if this thread were in the MST3K General Chat section. This forum is more for politics, religion and other types of controversial off-topic discussion. Maybe an Admin can move it (just a suggestion)? It is about MST3K episodes, after all. And don't forget to introduce yourself in the Robot Roll Call forum.
Again, welcome!

Welcome to the board, and - WRONG! You're dead WRONG, all of them WRONG! Heh, no, I kid. Of course everyone's "favorite" eps are going to be different. That's one of the great things about this show, there's a little something for a lot of people with slightly different senses of humor. Some are more drawn to different stages of the show.
Here's my Top 10, that could actually change, depending on my mood:
1. Magic Voyage of Sinbad
2. Tormented
3. I Accuse My Parents
4. Day the Earth Froze
5. Eegah
6. Operation Double 007
7. Night of the Blood Beast
8 Mitchell
9 Manos
10. Teenagers from Outer Space
Honorable mentions: Godzilla vs. Megalon, Cave Dwellers, Pod People, It Conquered the World, Secret Agent Super Dragon, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, The Gunslinger, The Creeping Terror, The Incredible Melting Man, Escape 2000, Time Chasers (ok, you were right about that one), and maybe Laserblast.
Any of these can switch places as my favorites, depending on how many times I've watched them and if they're feeling worn out or more fresh.
As you can see, I'm a Joel gal.

Granted, there's a few of my personal faves in there -- Puma Man, Space Mutiny, Werewolf -- but, still... I know some folks who really dig the SciFi era stuff, but their favorites still include a nice chunk of Joel episodes. Btw, I have that Lennon'n'Marx stamp set, too. Awesome!

To be fair mine's mostly scifi eps, but that's pretty much all I've seen. I've only watched three CC eps, two mike, one joel.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your input... I like seeing your responses to get an idea of what particular episodes other people are into. I seen a favorites thread in forum before and it was too overwhelming lol, everyone always has a different list, but since there has only been a few responses thus far, I've been trying to watch a few of your suggested top 10 list, when I can squeeze in some viewing time.. ...got a feeling I'll still be standing by that same list of mine though, haha, but thanks for all your input. -Tony

This is extremely hard to do because my tastes change for what I consider my favorites.. but this is a good baseline which is mostly based on how often I fined myself watching/listening to these:
1: Gamera vs Guiron ("My god, that kid looks like she's 50!!")
2: Lost Continent ("Oh she's like an Operation game, touch her there and she buzzes!")
3: Cave Dwellers ("Your father would have done the same." "...wear a tiny leather bikini?!")
4: The Horrors of Spider Island ("ooohhh Gary~" "...pull your slacks up hiiigher")
5: The Sinister Urge ("Do you have a daughter, Mr Romane?" "Would SHE be interested in the smut picture racket?")
6: The Dead Talk Back ("You're not buying any of this, are you?")
7: Red Zona Cuba ("Shut up everyone, he's gonna tell the dirt and drainpipe story!")
8: The Incredibly Strange Creatures ("Your face hurts us Jerry and we came together to tell you!")
9: Werewolf ("He's dreaming about slimy cat puppets!")
10: Secret Agent Super Dragon ("Secret Agent Super Booger!")
