The Shout Factory Panel at Comic Com Just sent a twitter.
Since the next box-set (Vol XXXI) will be out around Thanksgiving. I guess it's being called the Turkey Day collection. Here we go:

Looks like it's legit: www.mst3kinfo.com/?p=17922These are all ones that I have't seen yet and it sounds like a good set! Interesting how they're all episodes with shorts, too. |

Much better set than the previous. I love Screaming Skull and enjoy Squirm and Jungle Goddess a great deal. The Painted Hills is a mixed bag for me, but its another episode from the mostly stellar fifth season so I'm cool with it. Now the only episode left from the Joel half is Hecules.

Oooh, I wonder if they'll 'Turkey Day' theme it with all the various commercials and bumpers as extras?

Pretty good set, Painted Hills is one of my top 10 favorites, the others are top notch.
Squirm extras, could be... interesting, if they dare speak to the director.

Another good looking lineup. I like that each episode has a short with it.
Really happy to see The Screaming Skull and Robot Rumpus coming to DVD.
I was hoping that would happen sooner rather than later.
Nice work as always Shout Factory.

It's been a while since I've been truly excited about a set, though Shout makes every set a must-have. That being said, this is one set I certainly won't be waiting on for a deal. The shorts (excluding the Phantom Creeps) are some of the BEST content MST3K has to offer, plus you get Lassie! Between Lassie and Gumby (and perhaps Coily), this set is for the kids. Makes me wish they were able to riff some other childhood favs, like a Land of the Lost episode. Also, Screaming Skull is one of my favorite Mike eps. On that topic, it was nice to see two Joels here. That leaves (by my count using travis' excellent "likelihood" list) 17 Joels and 25 Mikes left to be released. That ratio can't be 50/50 too many more times. If we get Turkey Day stuff as extras, that will be gravy.

Now the only episode left from the Joel half is Hecules. And that's supposed to be public domain, right? Exciting set, exciting times. As noted, Season 10 is just about done. I can't believe Track of the Moon Beast is still unreleased, considering that it's both fantastic and (supposedly) public domain. I suspect Shout! holds back some of the PD episodes to balance out the costlier episodes when they're compiling a set. |

In the US I think, though Shout might have to strike a deal with the foreign studio. Travis knows more about it than I do, but if the other Hercules movies can be released, this one is probably just as easy to obtain (I hope, it's the most enjoyable Hercules movie and episode for me).

Wow, Track of the Moon Beast might end up being the final episode from season 10 to get a release.

Shout Factory has announced the extras and an opportunity for getting Vol XXXI 3 weeks early with free shipping. SPECIAL OFFER: Order this title from ShoutFactory.com and receive a FREE MST3K Vol. XXXI slipcase, FREE exclusive MST3K coasters and FREE standard U.S. shipping THREE WEEKS EARLY! MST’ies and bowlers share an enduring love of turkeys. This latest collection of episodes from the cult comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 bowls a perfect game — four turkeys — as comic kingpins Joel, Mike and their robot teammates Tom Servo and Crow riff strike after strike. Not a single instance of bad acting, bad writing or bad filmmaking is spared. This promises to be a Thanksgiving match for the ages and, needless to say, you will have a ball. Whether it’s ten frames or 24 per second, the snarky anarchy of MST3K will be right up your alley. Happy Turkey Day! The Coasters Sound Interesting to me.

I agree that this is a marked improvement over vol XXX. The Screaming Skull & Squirm are classics, The Painted Hills is a fun seasonal episode & Jungle Goddess will be all new to me!!  I'll have then seen all of season two.  Shadows of pleasure, shadows of pain... |

Okay, I'll be the dissenter. Other than The Incredibly Strange Creatures..., Squirm is my least favorite Sci-Fi episode. Much like TISCWSLABMUZ, it's just so ugly. There's a difference between bad movies and ugly movies. And there's something about the ugly, southern-fried, cheap fare with burned-out color from the '70s that really rubs be the wrong way. (It's the chief reason why I rarely enjoyed Cinematic Titanic-- they kept picking such ugly movies.)
Screaming Skull is not an enjoyable 90 minutes for me (darn you, Peggy Webber!). Although Gumby is a hoot.
Jungle Goddess is also a tough one to sit through. Every time I watch it, I think of how much it reminds me of The Leech Woman, and how I'd rather be watching that episode.
Nothing but love for Lassie, though. The Painted Hills is a banner episode, and hilarious from start to finish.
