Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection - The Essentials
Rhino Theatrical, 190 minutes

"The show's introductory song describes it all: "In the not-too-distant future -- next Sunday A.D. there was a guy named Joel, not too different from you or me. He worked at Gizmonic Institute, just another face in a red jumpsuit. He did a good job cleaning the place, but his bosses didn't like him, so they shot him into space: 'We'll send him cheesy movies, the worst we can find! He'll have to sit and watch them all, and we'll monitor his mind!' Now keep in mind, Joel can't control where the movies begin or end because he used those special parts to make his robot friends. Robot roll call: Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crow. If you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts, then repeat to yourself: 'It's just a show' I should really just relax for Mystery Science Theater 3000!'"

I'll be honest here: my recommendation comes with a lot of personal notalgia. When cable television finally came to my block as a kid, it was all new and exciting. One of the first programs I ever saw was "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and I was hooked. A silhouette of characters sat in front of a movie screen making witty remarks throughout the entire film. The movies themselves were horrid but Joel, Tom Servo and Crow kept the wise-cracks coming! During the intermissions, the cast would do fun little skits related to the movie. The show made me smile, made me laugh and allowed me to relax. While there have been numerous Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVDs released, "The Essentials" pack a pair of excellent episodes.

An old adage says that"laughter is the best medicine," and I couldn't agree more! If you find yourself getting too stressed, this set of DVDs just might give you a pleasant way to unwind. What's more, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is truly a tale of a man making the best of a bad situation. Sometimes, I think we all can use a moment find the good in any difficult situation. So... relax, reframe, and refocus after a good laugh with Mystery Science Theater 3000."
