I honestly like Mike a lot more than Joel. I guess it's because when I started watching MST3k, it was when Mike was hosting. I had no clue Joel was the original host on the SOL till years later. I'm not saying Joel isn't good, he's awesome. But I still like the riffs done by Mike and the bots.

Its sad how not too many people know about MST3K. There were time's were I would be stressed about something and these guys always cheer me up.

The mom kills me! "From community theatre to the big screen!" NO KIDDING! "You're very handsome! Can i touch your gun?"

Mikey is absolutely in the MST3K Weirdo Hall of Fame. Right up there with Torgo, Buffalo, and Pipper.

As a matter of fact, _MST3K_ creator Joel Hodgson went on to make a TV movie about teenagers - namely an infamous one about six friends being sucked into the internet titled _Web Surferz,_ which in turn spawned the Canadian cartoon sitcom _6teen._

When Jimmy points his finger towards the distance and says, “I’ll get to you later, Curly” and crow, in a muffled, quiet, distant voice responds, “Okay.” That makes the episode for me.
