I think I'm getting spoiled by special DVD sets. I have a lot of "complete series" sets and anniversary sets, and many of them are these massive, well put together sets that seem to be really complete and perfect. I'm thinking of sets that I own for such shows as The Twilight Zone, The West Wing, Friends, and The Dick Van Dyke Show, as well as season sets in shows like The X-Files and The Simpsons.

I say we're spoiled because I think that even die hard fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 might be a little disappointed by the packaging for their new 20th Anniversary DVD set (there's two actually - a limited edition tin box and a regular set; this review is for the limited edition box in the pic above). Not for the content, but for the way it is put together.

You can take the man out of the Satellite of Love, but you can't take the Satellite of Love out of the man. Writer and actor Michael J. Nelson, who took over as host of the sorely-missed Mystery Science Theater 3000 after original host Joel Hodgson split, continued to riff bad movies even after the show was canceled, providing funny commentaries for classic B movies put out by Legend Films on DVD. Now my fellow Minneapolitan has been chosen as Chief Content Producer for the company and will be "leading the company's creative content, providing on-going commentaries and developing other premium web-based programming," according to Satellite News, the official MST3k fan site.
