MST SCRAPBOOK
(BBI)
Genre: “Making Of” Documentary (Color)
Don’s Review: The absolute best MST3K behind-the-scenes tape made for fans. It shows the evolution of the show from the KTMA season to the Comedy Central years (this was made in 1995, so no mention of the
Sci-Fi Channel).
Given the usual bleary, washed-out quality of all of the KTMA episodes out there in
tradeland, it was great to see pristine clips from KTMA shows in this
(the KTMA version of the show really wasn’t as low grade as it
seems to appear in the washed-out tape dubs). In fact, clips
of the unaired KTMA pilot are only available on this
tape! In addition, this tape includes the
hilarious Turkey Day bumpers from 1991 which feature Dr. F
trying to take over the world while Frank entertains a bunch of
guests for Thanksgiving. Also on this tape is footage of the move to Comedy
Channel/Comedy Central
(including behind-the-scenes shots of the building of the MST3K sets),
footage of the 1992 MST Alive Convention, and footage the 1994 ConventioCon
ExpoFest-A-Rama.
Note that none of this is narrated in any way with only
occasional subtitles provide any indication of what is being shown.
As a fan, this tape is a must-have. Also, if you’ve never seen a KTMA episode and are
only a little curious about them, I recommend simply checking out this
tape first before going to the trouble of acquiring dubs of any of those experiments. (Note:
This great tape is still available
for sale from the MST3K
Info Club)
