| In
the reviews, every episode is rated on a FIVE-CROW
scale with HALF-CROW intervals. But what
exactly do the ratings mean? Well, ALL
MST3K episodes are funny... but some are funnier
than others. So this rating scale is,
basically, a bell-curve type system with the
highest mark indicating the funniest episodes and
the marks then progressively going down to
indicate less funny episodes, relatively speaking.
So if an episode seems to have a lower ranking
than expected, it’s simply because other episodes
were seen as being funnier. And this rating scale
of MST3K episodes is ONLY in relation to other
MST3K episodes, because even the least funny MST
episode is STILL better than 90% of the
other stuff on TV.
(P.S., if an episode has a
short, besides the overall rating for that
episode, we also list in brackets the individual
rating for both the Short and the Film.)
