A couple of months ago I decided to revisit MST3K and discovered that virtually all of the shows, the Top Ten here included, are available online for viewing or downloading either on YouTube or at the ClubMST3K website. The show's exhortation to "Keep Circulating the Tapes" has been kept alive by MSTies in cyberspace. Art Scott
I'm almost ashamed to admit (1) I've seen everyone if these, and (2) I still have a bunch of video tapes I recorded when MST3K was on Comedy Central and SiFi and occasionally I still fire up the ol' VCR and watch 'em. And they're not kidding about The Beast from Yucca Flats--even with the hilarious commentary, it's well nigh unwatchable.
I couldn't watch it. But THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH now, there you're talking semi-classic. I'd say Roger Corman's VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT was worth watching on MST3K for one great line: "Do you mind if we dance with your dates?"
Should be noted that Club MST3K has 15 of the "Season 0" shows broadcast only locally on Minneapolis station KTMA. The sets & puppetry are crude, and the commentary was a work in progress, not nearly as sharp as their best work once they got rolling on the Comedy Channel. Still interesting, and a must-see for Gamera fans - 3 features! A.S.

This is good news.

VIKING WOMEN is a classic in its own right.
