The original show always looked cheap because it was cheap. No problem. It was cheap, but there was obvious effort put into it. The current set just looks cheap and lazy. Give me 2 hours and $100 bucks and I could put together a better console. x100 The KTMA set looked better than the current set, greenscreen or otherwise.

The KTMA set looked better than the current set, greenscreen or otherwise. SOL, yes. But not the KTMA Mads 'set'.

I honestly see little to no difference between what they did with the Netflix sets vs. the classic show. It all looked like the same cowtown puppet show to me, with a little more sheen in the 2010s. The greenscreen kept costs down so I wasn't bothered. The aesthetic remained largely the same I've been watching for 30+ years.

Really? The boring blue flat wall with 3D-printed, generic, repeating shapes on it was aesthetically the same as the geodesic dome set with hundreds of toys glued to it? The blue wall set that we never saw any more than 3 feet on either side of the doors is indistinguishable from from the set that had a floor, windows, the Hexfield plus various tubes and portholes? That's the same? Really?

That's the same? Really? for me it usually comes down to lighting. I hate how bright Joel's SOL was.. all it did was highlight how ugly and grey the main color scheme was. I never liked the 'hundreds of toys glued to it' look. Which is why I preferred the sci fi era SOL and even the netflix seasons to the CC joel era SOL. give me the darker and bluer colors. Although I miss the hexfield in the new iteration.

The true evil genius of the series. but yeah count me in as a fan of the KTMA set. I like the color schemes/lighting and I think it worked well with joel's jumpsuit at the time. KTMA set is more pleasing to my eyes than any of the CC era sets.

I prefer Joel's CC era SOL, the brightness, the stuff on the walls, I didn't really like the dark, bluish sci-fi era. Frankly, I found it ugly. But hey, I was there for the laughs, and I got plenty of those. If the Gizmoplex era can make me howl with laughter, that'll make up for whatever issues I might have with the production design.

I was also never a fan of the dark blue visuals back then.

It looks like the updated episode titles are now live on VHX. Ivan said on the MST3K forums that he expects that classic episode downloads to go out tomorrow.

The netflix era had the most awesome Mad Sets. they did a great job on that. Love the heart shaped grating with the color scheme, the tube holder thing, and especially the liquid movie flushing room.

I did like the Mads moon set. I just wished they showed more of it/moved the camera around so we could get a good look at the details.
There was a wide shot in one of the episodes shot from way back to show the giant robot thing, and the set was huge with a bunch of detailed areas, but we only ever got to see the one angle on those doors.
