I think that's hitting at the core of the problem people have, though: Joel would like MST3K to be a legacy franchise that sticks around the way things like Star Trek and Doctor Who do. And personally, I think it's significant enough and unique enough that it has the potential to, even if it's clearly a smaller fish in the sci-fi pond. But if you just bring back the original creators, then you're kinda making it an old-kids club without much room for growth or development in the way he wants. But if you only bring in newer, polished people, you start to lose some of the original voice.
It's not an easy problem to solve, and to Joel's credit I think he's doing a good job of threading that needle where he can. But evolving from the biggest non-Elvira horror host franchise to the smallest ongoing sci-fi franchise was always gonna leave some people feeling bad one way or another.

I'm not familiar with it myself, but it sounds like a good place to check out. Any other good towns on that kinda list to keep in mind in case I ever get a chance to go a-wanderin'?

I admit I never got into Pogs in the nineties, but a lot of my friends did! I've always kinda been fascinated by them.

While I do agree that I have a preference for the charm of the shoestring budget, I also can't say that I blame them for making things that look shinier. I would too. And it's not like the show itself never innovated or improved its quality of set over the eleven seasons. There's a voice in my head saying "But the new stuff is stylistically different, not just more expensive" but I've known that inner voice long enough to see when it's trying to pretend that it doesn't have a bias.
Unfortunately, we may also be at a time in history when "make it cheaper and with more charm" might be more expensive than making it more expensive depending on the production tools they have available, weird as that sounds.

Amazingly, he could suddenly read the handwriting of all the doctors who'd passed away

He should subscribe to Formerly Twitter's blue checkmark thingy for a couple months, see what it's like to be on the receiving end of somebody else's Invention Exchange product campaign.

He should buy a Soup Tapir, the best pet for working Soul Takers.

Finally got to a point where I could make my donation pledge. Not a lot (and, again, not enough to get my name in any credits like all the cool rich kids) but here's hopin'

So, back in 1993, TV's Frank received the greatest Christmas present of them all: a twenty-five dollar savings bond! It has finally matured; what should a Soultaker with twenty-five big ones do to live it up?

Hey hey, y'all, it's Halloween! I'm going nice and easy on my costume this year. I have multiplied myself by the unluckiest of numbers to become The 13 Ghosts of Afgncaap5! This is an implied 65 ghosts if you do the math!

I really am sad to hear about this one. He was so young.
My sister's really sad, too. She'd been hoping that the cast of Friends would get together for a proper reunion special some day. Can't happen with the full gang now. :-(

Ugh... I hate all this AI art. Who knows how many people that really is.
Also, let's try to not associate mannerisms of people like Redditors with physical appearances of body type.

I'm certainly watching with interest! Not in a position to donate myself, at least not yet, like I did last time, but I'll see if that changes as things get closer to the conclusion.

Rewatched one of my old VHS copies of some SciFi era episodes and wow, those old Miss Cleo commercials triggered something in my brain
