speaking of MST3K!

I've been meaning to do this for a while--see, I haven't seen very many old MST3K episodes; I started watching in mid-season 8 and stopped a year later, mostly. And I would like recommendations, since several of the old episodes I've watched have bored me. Not as many as have DELIGHTED me, obviously, but I figured I might as well see if anyone has any recommendations based on the following lists of episodes I liked and didn't like. Because that is what the internet is for!

Included on these lists are any episodes about which I have strong feelings, ie, I can remember being either bored or delighted by it.

Episodes I love:

Cave Dwellers
Pod People
The Day the Earth Froze
Mitchell
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
The Starfighters
I Was a Teenage Werewolf
Jack Frost (I love the Scandinavian movies, were there ever any more besides this and TDtEF?)
Prince of Space
Space Mutiny
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
The Projected Man (actually I think I'm going to go rewatch this one RIGHT NOW)
The Phantom Planet
The Pumaman
Werewolf
Hobgoblins
The Final Sacrifice
Girl in Gold Boots
Hamlet (I know, I'm apparently THE ONLY ONE)


Shorts I love:

The Home Economics Story
Body Care and Grooming
Cheating
Last Clear Chance
A Date With Your Family
Why Study Industrial Arts?
Speech: Platform, Posture, and Appearance (the one from Red Zone Cuba)
The Chicken of Tomorrow
Robot Rumpus
Spring Fever


Episodes that I found boring and/or didn't finish:

Hercules...can't remember which, probably Unchained, or just 'Hercules'
Manos (SORRY, couldn't get through it, I think the movie was just too bad)
The Wild World of Batwoman
Angel's Revenge
The Unearthly, which I just watched today and it was sort of okay I guess, had a handful of good lines, but was not at any point awesome to me


And then there are a bunch of others from S8-S9 that I should rewatch, because I have no memories of them at all, positive or negative, except having seen them. So, now you may divine my sense of humor and recommend me your favorite episodes to match it! You know, if you felt like it, like if you had nothing else to do for some reason. I've downloaded the whole series except the KTMA episodes so whatever it is, I'll have it. :D? :D?

The Gamera ones from s3 are DEE-LIGHTFUL.

And, oh, YES, Day the Earth Froze is one of my very favorites.

I have extremely fond memories of Devilfish. It seems kind of Mitchell-like to me? In tone rather than plot, I mean. Mitchell is better, but I remember thinking Devilfish was fun. I feel that I should warn you, though, that I last saw it in like 2003.

Also I miss watching MST3K on Saturday mornings.
