Also, I'd love to see MST3k released with commercials again but with the MST3k crew riffing them. Nothing to cruel to keep the advertisers coming back but advertisers might like this because people would actually watch the commercials. If the company stops paying rotate in a new riffed commercial. I would love that, but that'd be so hard to do. I think making comedy with the sponsors is definitely doable (My Brother, My Brother, And Me does it every week, after all) but there'd need to be new production costs to go along with each show. Not impossible, but it'd definitely be a herculean effort to maintain.

It shouldn't take that long to write jokes for a 30 second commercial. You could use whatever writers are available at the time. Studio time is the biggest expense. One person with a computer to make a static picture is a lot cheaper than studio. Also, you could play with it if the hosts weren't available. Use someone else's voices and come up with a lame excuse. It's just a show... Plus the same commercials are in multiple shows and repeated in the same show.

I'm starting the transfer on mylungswereaching 's first tape and WOW! The picture quality for a tape from early 1991 is AMAZING. I'll be continuously transferring and converting for a few days, so I won't be able to upload do YouTube until Sunday, but you guys are in for a treat.

I gotta say, these older commercials are a goldmine. At least for references to stuff they, you know, reference in the show. What commercials did they reference? READ THE BOOK!

Is there a list somewhere if commercials that MST3k referenced? If yes, maybe someone could make up a video with them for people who are interested.

I'm personally hoping for the premiere of 318 - Fugitive Alien 2, the earliest broadcast I remember seeing.

It's likely to be the first showing because I was recording them in order as they came on. The other two episodes on the tape are 317 and 319. I haven't looked at it in years. My notes on it say that the stinger got cut off. I don't have any other notes that there are any other problems with it.

FYI, I'm done converting over the current 21 episodes from mylungswereaching Now I'm going through each one, fixing audio, restoring intros, etc. And as I'm doing that, I'm uploading episodes to the YouTube channel. I'll make a big post with links to all of them when I'm done, but it may take another few weeks. Just wanted to post an update in the meantime.
