Ford's MST3K Rate Nine Game LXXII

[Ford Prefect]

Greetings fellow MSTies,

If anyone here has ever been to the MST3K BBoard on SciFi.com, there's a small possibility that you've heard of a game I used to post there called Ford Prefect's RATE NINE GAME. I will begin re-posting it here to see if anyone is interested in it. I was originally going to start posting the it here a few months ago. Unfortunately, my computer got a virus and it's taken me a few months to get everything back on track. Anyway, here's the newest edition...

Hello Again Fellow Bboarders!

I'm back with the results from the last game, plus a new list featuring episodes from Season Eight. First, I'd like to thank all six of the Bboarders who submitted their lists, namely Jdon15, TServo4, Gencorp, Scboggs5, UncleDad, and Sentroid91. Anyway, with the assistance of a computer called ZIGGY, which I got on loan from some guy named Al, I was able to come up with an almost but not quite accurate "Top Nine" list based on the six lists that were contributed.

Here are the Results:

801 - Revenge Of The Creature
320 - The Unearthly (with shorts: Posture Pals and Appreciating Our Parents)
804 - The Deadly Mantis
803 - The Mole People
404 - Teenagers From Outer Space
617 - The Sword And The Dragon
317 - Viking Women And The Sea Serpent (with short: The Home Economics Story)
102 - The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy (with short: Commando Cody Pt. 1)
112 - Untamed Youth

Now on with the new game! Here's the way it works: I list nine MST3K episodes and you rate them from your most favorite to your least favorite. (Be sure to rate -- in list form -- all the episodes you have seen which have appeared on my list.) If you have time, give your reasons for why you rated them the way you did. Maybe this will help fans who are not sure what episodes to look for or why.

This week I've decided to go with nine episodes from Season Eight:

806 - The Undead
807 - Terror From The Year 5000
808 - The She Creature
809 - I Was A Teenage Werewolf
810 - The Giant Spider Invasion
811 - "Parts": The Clonus Horror
812 - The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies
813 - Jack Frost
814 - Riding With Death

Hope you all enjoy the game! Remember to read and sign the online petition: "Please Air Re-runs of MST3K on Comedy Central" at www.PetitionOnline.com/mst3kcc. At last count there were 2,139 signatures. If you like the KTMA Era, remember to read and sign the online petition: "KTMA Host Segment Tape" at www.PetitionOnline.com/ktmatape. Finally, remember to check out Invader Zim on DVD on May 11th.

811 - "Parts": The Clonus Horror
814 - Riding With Death
Both of these eps are grade A in my opinion. Parts is first right now for four reasons Darren, Dr Super Mario Brothers, Peter Graves, and the fact that I haven't seen it in ages

813 - Jack Frost
Some great riffs but I'm just not a fan of the fantasy eps or the Russian/swedish films or whatever country made this
812 - The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies
Bad movie, people have made better movies in their parent's basement.

[Ator]

1) 814 - Riding With Death

3) 813 - Jack Frost
4) 810 - The Giant Spider Invasion

8) 808 - The She Creature
9) 809 - I Was A Teenage Werewolf

[mightyjack]

1) 813 - Jack Frost
Great, intellegent, dead on comedic writing for this episode.

2) 811 - "Parts": The Clonus Horror
Clone with burning loins, LOL

3) 809 - I Was A Teenage Werewolf
Another sharply written episode, superb observational MSTing.

4) 807 - Terror From The Year 5000
A dim secretary with anger issues, a perverted Jimmy Carter and a sparkly terror. Fun.

5) 814 - Riding With Death
Excellent running gags from start to finish.

The next two, it's been a while but I remember enoying them both...
6) 806 - The Undead
7) 808 - The She Creature

8) 810 - The Giant Spider Invasion
Unsteady, some funny riffs mixed with some that didn't strike my fancy. Good but not great episode.

9) 812 - The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies
I had a hard time with this one. Not a lot of laughs as compared to the others on this list.

[Miss Interoceter]

Ha Ha! All stuff I've seen for once. If you're new and want to know what to watch, here's what I'd recommend:
1. 807 - Terror From The Year 5000 Eww, he's leaking!
2. 814 - Riding With Death Love that trucker lingo!
3. 810 - The Giant Spider Invasion You rolled on me!
4. 808 - The She Creature Um, sleep?
5. 809 - I Was A Teenage Werewolf Look out! He's gonna throw some milk!
6. 812 - The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who
Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up ZombiesNot a fantastic ep, I like the gay brother some though.
7. 811 - "Parts": The Clonus Horror Solid but not super memorable.
8. 813 - Jack Frost kill me now, please
9. 806 - The Undead the mix of old english and unlikability was a poor choice, pass.

[Bart Fargo]

My picks are:
1. #812 - The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living & Became Mixed-up Zombies (introduced Season 8's most memorable character, Ortega.)
2. #810 - The Giant Spider Invasion (Alan Hale Jr. reprises his sheriff role from The Crawling Hand; white trash couple memorable too.)
3. #813 - Jack Frost (The house on legs is about the only thing I remember from this one.)
4. #808 - The She Creature (The Carlo Barberi doll was pretty funny.)
5. #814 - Riding with Death (Ben Murphy as a trucker!)
6. #811 - Parts: The Clonus Horror (for Peter Graves)
7. #807 - Terror from the Year 5000! (Crow's date with the terror was unforgettable.)
8. #806 - The Undead (Corman does it again, and we wish he hadn't.)
9. #809 - I Was A Teenage Werewolf (Michael Landon's debut; well, we all have to start somewhere....)

[Vlad89]

So... when is this game going to be updated?

That's a very good question. Unfortunately, I've been very busy lately and this game is a leisure activity. Don't worry though. I should be able to get back on track later this week.

Sorry for the wait,
FordPrefect

[Ator]

I can't wait for the next game!
