For those of you who don't know, I'm a big geeky fan of the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (which is no longer being filmed, and might be soon dropped from Sci-Fi as well). I've recently created an Excel file of a complete episode list and have begun a tally of each of the episodes I have on tape and what status they're in. I've only watched two since starting this, but I thought I'd be impressive to note:
200 episodes were filmed in total.
196 are known to have existing 'fan copies' : the original pilot and the first 3 episodes on the Minnesota public TV station KTMA do not exist except at Best Brains Studios.
I have 70 episodes on tape, in various qualities from fuzzy to clear.
That's 35%. I'm impressed with myself. However, I'm hoping that by keeping a record of what I have and what quality it's in, I can join the Trading Depot at the official website and eventually get ALL THE EPISODES. And then I will truly be a queen among geeks.
If you're interested in being a part of the reviewing process (and then I can have an external opinion as to the quality of an episode), let me know and I'll call you up when I decide to watch them. :) I've got 68 episodes to go through, so there's time enough...
