May I add the link to this forum/site/discussion board to my blog? Although I probably have less traffic, it's still something I can add as a reference to check out if other fans of the show that might come across my blog, and want to know if there exists a site like this. And this is the only forum I know of that is of this kind. I've googled for others but this is the only one where fans are talking and stuff is being shared.

More progress to report! I have effectively 24 menus done, I have just added It Lives By Night, City Limits & Riding With Death (the last two being really simple to do ) and what I did is I rearranged the blog entries with the corresponding box sets and added the box set numbers that they came from and lined them all up, so if you look and scroll around, you'll see what I mean. I have all 4 menus from #'s 31, 32, 33 I have 2 each from #'s 30, 36 And all the Gamera menus from set 21, and 1 each from 25, 26, 28. So now the blog is at a good place and now possible that I may be able to, one day, have all the menu ensembles up. But that's still a ways off. Still when I first posted my link in December 2016 I only had 3 menu entries up...Robot Holocaust, Alien From L.A. & Outlaw of Gor. So I've come far enough now that my blog can be of some help to anyone who might be looking for such trivia and info. I've also gotten lots of stuff added to the side gadgets of the blog. I sing the closing theme all the time now! Edit to add: I have The Projected Man added now, which brings the total up to 25.

I actually have a few DVD movies of the unriffed features as well...
Alien From L.A. I actually had this one well before I got the mst3k boxed set with the movie riffed, and I watched it and it was stupid and cheesy and all that but there was a certain nostalgia to it. One it was playing on my player while I did some housecleaning and there was a calm vibe to it. So the memory of that will stay with me but also the nostalgic feel of what the California beaches were like back then. I supposed they're still the same, but that vibe as a long time ago. And I always thought Kathy Ireland was pretty so even though they have her being this weird person, I liked the way it was shot, the way they made her look and how she pulled off her character. There was something very endearing about her and the film. But yeah, it was bad film. I kept it regardless. Then I realized mst3k riffed it and so I waited till the box set came out with that one. I never saw it on the TV series when it was aired.
Squirm This one had potential but failed so miserably, however I do like the song at the end. No I don't have this on DVD and I would probably get it if it was available and right there. Otherwise can live without.
Hangar 18 This was a movie that we went to see when it was first released in theaters. And afterward, around 1985, the family owned the VHS copy of it. This is a cult classic that never really came to be, but it was loosely based on a true story. I liked it. So this would be one I'd get on DVD if I could find it.
Moon Zero Two I never saw this unriffed but I liked the sets, it brought back so many memories of the 1970s, the way things looked back then, and the silly dancing for what passed as entertainment for moon visitors. Even when watching this in this day and age, there's something fresh about the look of it. And any movie about living on the moon are some of my beloved favorites. I loved Pluto Nash (cheesy Eddie Murphy movie) because of the moon landscapes and the scenery, even if the story is bad, and I will always love so much that one moment in the film "Boss...battery...low" with the music and the view of Earth on the horizon...that is a moment! And the sci-fi thriller simply called Moon. With Sam Rockwell. One of the best films ever made imo. So Moon Zero Two, when I finally got to see the mst3k episode of it, I loved it immediately. No I don't own it unriffed.
And because I have yet to see all the MST3K episodes ever aired, I can give honorable mentions of the movies I would own as is, and that would be: The Magic Sword The Magic Voyage of Sinbad I love movies about anything medieval and anything Sinbad, but you can thank Ray Harryhausen for that. All 4 Hercules movies they featured I love Greek mythology even if it's badly done, but really for the time, these were very well produced. Outlaw (of Gor) Again the look and vibe of the film. Nicely done, I think, despite its abysmal plot.
I have been waiting to watch a lot of the episodes I'd never seen, like Hamlet and 12 to the Moon, and so on.

Congrats! I'm always a little jealous of the boxed collections. Unfortunately, I've only gotten two of them. Oh man, I got some extras...I got XXXIV (34) I think that's how that number reads. Anyway I got that, it's still wrapped and still has the price tag on it. It was 59.99 and I'll give it to you for 20$. I also have an extra copy of The Singles Collection. I'll give it to you for 10$. Also brand new. And I might be getting more so, I'll let you know. I get a lot of videos, DVD and BluRay, and sometimes I just sell them to Vintage Stock or Game Xchange but I rarely get any money for the gems that I come across. Don't ask how I come across these, but they're legit mint condition. Just PM me what we need to do and I'll get these shipped to you if you want them. Then post pics here or wherever. I also have the new Star Wars BluRay complete set and it was well over 100$ but I'm looking to sell for 20$ plus shipping. Item is brand new. Well all the items I'm selling are brand new. So that won't be a problem. And like I said, I might be getting more of these MST3K goodies, but they're going to be what's currently available and not the rare ones like the OP has. So yeah, I'm jealous too.

Wow I wish I could find those myself!
I have all the boxed sets except for 8 through 12 and some weird one called 10.2 20th Anniversary Edition which would be 13, and 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24.

Well I finally got the Daddy-O menu up. mitternachtkino.blogspot.com/I swear I was going to get this done on around the 30th of August! But life happens and it took literally a month! More like 5 weeks to get all that sorted. Stuff in life, not the menu. I have other menus I plan to get up shortly and hopefully get those up soon. Let me know what you think of the new entry. It was great that I was able to actually add the TV commercial being parodied in the menu. Youtube seems to have all these weird items. Despite the fact they suck at being a network and I still hate the blinding format. I miss the old and the "you" of youtube. Daddy-O is a great menu because it incorporates the old TV ad which is literally being based off the riff in the episode where they make fun of the large bad guy's butter obsession and that it also features the apple hitting the wall sound effects that they dedicated a segment to. It was a nice touch.

I put in a new Earth icon feature on my blog and I wondered if anyone can see it because it looks off center to me.

Newly Added: Screaming Skull, Painted Hills, Jungle Goddess & Earth Vs The Spider. Also added to the side of the blog some new lyrics I wrote to the ending theme known as MST3K Love Theme and added a list of menus I need help with on figuring out what certain lines are, and located, and all that jazz. I've also finally gotten in all my movie reviews but I put them behind all the MST3K menus, as those were an old project from years ago. I'd write out these movie reviews to post to some yahoogroups I either owned or a member of. But I stopped around 2005-2006. They're of old, and even older movies now. Spoiler-ridden, and all except two of them are never serious. I even did movie reviews of movies that don't even exist. Yet. You never know. I've also gotten the menu ensembles done for Riding With Death & City Limits (which were incredibly easy as they were literally just the music of the movies' opening music) but I want to get them in together with the group of menus for that box set. All four in a row. And I thought about re-editing my blog to have all the episodes line up to be like that in order of each box set but then I thought maybe someone might want to just search for one title and so I'll leave it as it is for now. And I did include a search feature gadget, so... Link: mitternachtkino.blogspot.com/

They have Hangar 18 on youtube and that was definitely from the KTMA season. I saw that movie in theaters when it was originally released, and hope one day they can make these available to us. I'd love to have a MST3K version of Hangar 18. Of course I'd like to have the original too.

I got the double menu up of the Brain Woudn't Die & Mitchell. I just now had time to come here to update anyone interested.
I still have no idea what the hell the line is in the Squirm menu when the little worm jumps into the water though. If anyone can help with my question marks on my blog...much appreciated! And Zigra? I'm still wondering on that bit but lightning is just too fast.

I got two new entries up on the blog: mitternachtkino.blogspot.com/Agent for H.A.R.M. & Squirm I've sent an email to someone who might be able to help with the line where I have "WTF??" but if anyone knows, please let me know. Also I had to have some help with the Bobo Monkey lines in Agent but I found this hem.bredband.net/johaolof/Culture/MST3K%20e15s8.html and the rest was easy to go through and pick out. And yes I'm working on the Mitchell/Brain ones, just not ready yet.

Nice! Thanks for the update. Always good to see projects like this progressing. Hey thanks, Afgncaap5! It's been a slow process for sure but I have this goal anyway of this massive menu stuff and where everything is. As I figure there will be a total of 110 menus on the whole once Volume 39 is out. I've heard it'll be the last volume for this stuff. I have 60 + of the menus given to memory of where all the lines, sounds, etc are from in the eps they represent, but it's still a very tedious process. Because it is all from memory. I'd have to play the entire episodes while having the menu on stand by to get the exact timing so I can make this info be out there. I know most people might think it's silly but, I can't be the only one who's wondered where everything is and was from. As you probably seen, some lines were from completely different episodes. There's a handful of mysterious bits on some menus that I have not located where they're from. Like the San Francisco International menu I just recently put up. It's just Servo saying "Here!" but it's the way he says it. I have not heard this "Here!" in the episode. It's kind of gruff sounding. And in menus like the one for 'Squirm' Dave Long does add a voice-over himself to the little animated worm bouncing around. I can only pick out parts of those lines as some are really indistinguishable lines, but the worm's lines are not from the actual episode. Otherwise I know where all the rest is. I wish someone would upload the original movies of Space Travelers (aka Marooned) and Untamed Youth, because there are lines in those menus that are from the original films but I can't really link to them to point out where those exact soundbits are. Like I could with Alien From L.A. for example. Anyway, sorry to ramble. I have gotten all the Gamera menu ensembles and the two Hercules ones up, I'm thinking the other two had no animated menus like those (earlier volume and all) but I'm not sure. Otherwise all the episodes which had multiple movies with the same basic character (Gamera/Hercules) are done. Except for wherever you may see a (??) LOL. The menu ensemble I plan to put up next will be the Mitchell/Brain That Wouldn't Die duo menu where he has the two movies talking to each other! XD The original movies for those two are on youtube so I could easily link those bits to the timing of where all the lines and sounds are coming from. It's just a question of when I'll next have the time to do that. LOL the guy at Satellite News said that my project was worthy of the E Ward.

That's really cool GALAXY INVADER is getting the Blu-ray treatment (how the hell did he end up with one random Don Dohler flick, anyway!??). "This movie is a classic of mid-1980s horror. I don't want it ridiculed as a title sequence for another movie!" Was that anything like GALAXY OF TERROR?

And BTW to balance out the hilariously bad "Let the Engines Roar" track, there is actually a far superior song about vehicular speeding by The Go Go's and for years I have wondered what the lyrics are in one part of the song. Maybe someone can help? The great song in question is " Speeding". The lyrics are online but, as the nature of the beast is, these available lyrics are NOT what is actually being sung at that one part. All the words to all the online lyrics are correct except for the last part of this one little sentence. Driving faster Driving past the scenery On pretty view... It doesn't make sense and it's also not the words coming out. It really sounds more like; Driving faster Driving past the scenery And rip to freedom/meaning... Neither one of those sentences make much sense, but phonically, it sounds more like the second example than the first. Had the Go Go's recorded the Engines Roar song, they'd have drums in it beating the hell out of that static drum track by putting it to shame, the rhythm would have been given a much better bass line and the horns would have been replaced with an electric guitar. But would they have sung the words in the same way to make way for Joel to still come up with "ninny on the road now"? Apparently the line is "A real T.V." as the singer is describing the view through her car windshield.
