Josh also has said that he left MST3K because of Jim Mallon. He recently stated that it was because Jim was paying him like an intern because of his age, even though he was taking part in the writing, and playing two characters on the show.
So, yeah, Jim Mallon's also an ageist.

Funny; when I first got into MST, I kept hearing from older, web-going fans about how Jim was a greedy bully who pushed everyone talented away from the show, but couldn't really buy it myself because I had no accounts of it. Then I listened to a RhinoCast interview he did and the one he did with Satellite News, and kind of wondered where they were coming from; he seemed like an alright guy who was usually making the best of a difficult situation (be it network executives, film executives, film distributors, etc.). And I do agree with Joel in that, without Jim, the show would never have thrived as it did. He was really sort of the foreman of the laugh factory that is MST3K: managing everything and, though he may not be well liked, ultimately does what is best for the most people.

That's an excellent point. Essentially Jim was the Brains of MST3K, and Joel was the heart. Without Joel, the show wouldn't of been as funny and witty, but without Jim, there would of been no show at all, period.

In reading the MJP interview bit, maybe she doesn't quite get what the DVDs are.
In the whole history of MST3K DVDs, there has only been one straight up repackaging... and that was making everyone re-buy Manos if they wanted Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, with Rhino's Essentials set.
Otherwise, the DVD sets have all been new, unreleased on DVD material.
Granted, the boxes for the Shout sets all look the same, and the Rhino boxes weren't too different from each other...
Or, maybe I have a different definition or repackaging.
IMO, Repackaging was when Fox cut the X-Files sets down from the original huge 7 disc packages to smaller 6 disc sets, then down to all 6 discs in a single slimcase, or how WB re-releases The Wizard of Oz every 5 years with nothing more than new bonus features.
MST3K and the companies that release the show haven't been guilty of that yet.
