   I didn't enjoy it quite that much.  I was grinning throughout (which   
   is a good sign), but only had a handful of chuckles (mainly for Josh's   
   lines, for some reason).  It was like they were getting to the red   
   zone, but couldn't always convert (to use a metaphor of some sport or   
   other :-)).  I definitely liked it better than most RiffTrax, but the   
   "Glitter" one that Mary Jo did with Mike made me laugh harder.   
   Regarding a comparison with MST3K:  some of those I would watch over   
   IMMEDIATELY AFTER WATCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME.... it was just that   
   good!  Of course, that's a pretty high bar, I would think ;-)   
      
   I enjoyed the visual gags, in a host-segment kind of way.  All-in-all,   
   I think it's very promising, and I'm hoping they refine it so that it   
   will be as far beyond MST3K, comedically, as MST3K is beyond the   
   amoeba!*, to coin a phrase....

   I think we are in agreement, fundamentally.  You will note that I did not   
   compare it to the CC seasons (especially three, four and five, which IMHO   
   were the best).
