An upper-middle class family teaches Mike and the Bots how to be incredibly bland, white, and boring in A Date with Your Family (1950). Later, a group of barflies must figure out what to do when the Soviets attack the U.S. in Invasion USA (1952). Mike and the Bots have a dinner party inspired by the short and get a visit from "Bob the A-Bomb" on the Hexfield.

In Track of the Moon Beast (1976), a mineralogist is hit by a meteor which causes him to transform into a lizard-monster. The Bots rush the Halloween season on the SOL and devote an episode of Legends of Rock to "The Band That Played California Lady."

Pearl and Bobo plot their escape from the Observers' planet while the SOL crew is subjected to a dark, dreary tale of hypnotism, murder, and chesty amphibians.

A hero on a quest to gather magical stones battles an evil sorcerer and learns the benefits of a potato diet in Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell (1988). Tom and Crow put on a Renaissance Fair for Mike and Crow reads a trashy romance novel to Pearl.

The crew watch an education short about the wonders a home economics major can do for young women in The Home Economics Story (1951). In The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1957), lonely Viking women set sail to rescue a group of enslaved men. Joel and the Bots consider the waffle and present an iron that can turn waffles into pancakes at the invention exchange.

The stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 give their comedic riffing treatment to this classic 90's Vanilla Ice movie. Vanilla Ice's album To The Extreme sold fifteen million copies. It is important to keep this in mind while you watch Cool as Ice, because at some point in time, you will inevitably shriek at the TV, "Who thought this was a good idea? How did this happen?" It is perhaps the only movie that is more 90s than the entirety of VH1s I Love...

The stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 bring their comedic riffing treatment to one of our favorite bad movies of all time - Live! Shot from the Belcourt Theater in Nashville, and beamed to over 600 theaters around the USA. There are solar panels, bark beetles and animals such as seals! Plus, the show kicks off with everyone's favorite lovable loser, Norman, in the short Norman Checks In. So grab a coat hanger, fire up your solar powered TV and...

Four features from the 1990s television series, America's only show that makes fun of really bad B movies from the comfort of a spaceship floating above earth.

In this 33rd collection of episodes from the cult comedy series, Joel, Mike, Tom Servo, and Crow spend detention aboard the Satellite of Love with a breakfast club of cheesy movies including Daddy-O, Earth vs the Spider, Teen-age Crime Wave, Agent for H.A.R.M.

This isn't long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. This is the not too distant future, next Sunday A.D., so these aren't the episodes you're looking for. Joel and Mike, the unlucky witnesses to the cheesiest movies in any galaxy, may not have the force with them, but they have an even more powerful weapon-the riff!
