Summary: I Blame You!
Review: A thirty-year-old teenager gets involved with the mob and then turns around and blames his parents for all of his problems! Um, isn't that called projecting?

Summary: I ACCUSE THE SCREENWRITER
Review: This is my all-time favorite episode of MST3K. To this day my family still says "hamburger sandwiches and french-fried potato garnish." I like the part where the 'bots are threatening Joel with guns trying to get hamburger sandwiches and french fried potato garnish before finally getting fed up and rolling in a tank to get them. But my #1 favorite part is when the protagonist shoots a guy and Joel says, "Uh, I accuse my parents?!" A must-have for MST3K lovers.

Summary: "Hey, I won the essay contest..."
Review: An odd movie for Joel & the 'bots to watch, as it's more melodrama than sci-fi. But they're never funnier than they are here! The funniest episode ever! "How 'bout a little sugar for Happy Chef?"

Summary: important details
Review: It's imperative to the exchange of keywords and esoterica that one remember the specific phrasing,"french-fried potato garnish", everytime.

Summary: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Review: By far one of the funniest episodes in the history of this Earth-altering show! A thirty-year-old teenager wins an essay contest BUT his alcoholic parents don't care so he meets this floozy who gets him involved with the mob and he runs away from home to live in a diner with a wall-eyed fry-cook who takes him to church and fills him with lots of char-broiled hamburger-sammiches and french-fried potatoes but he gets caught anyway and goes to trial where he ACCUSES HIS PARENTS! All in all, a good 'un. And, don't forget, "Mom is HOT!" END

Summary: "Maaaad About The Boy!"
Review: A Classic MST3K right from the start! We all know of Tom Servo's huge ego, but when Crow paints him entirely pink, all Servo can do is admire his "nakedness" in a mirror and sing "I'm just maaad about the boy!" Until Joel and Crow pop his balloon by reminding him that he has no legs and his arm's dont work!The short, "Truck Farming" reminds us how greatful the Mexicans are to come across the border to harvest our delicios carrots so young white people up North can receive their proper nutrition in winter! Plenty of 'bot cannon fodder here! It gives plenty of incentive for children to bend and stoop for a living! The main movie is an example of Doctor Spock psychoanalysis, but set in the World War 11 generation, and they even attempted to make it a musical! Sure, the father is wooden and the mother is a Honky Tonk lush, but the son's problems do not rise out of that, they rise out of his constant LYING, LYING, LYING! and sheer stupidity! As the "mobile" skit by Joel and the bots exemplify, all his excuses are tiny little things to that huge "STUPID" floating mobile that always interferes and blocks the view of the others! THe bots do an excellent job in trashing all the stupid songs we have to endure in this stinkburger, and this movie envites all the commentary that can be vomited on it! Get this one!

Summary: "Vodka sandwiches!"
Review: You pretty much can't go wrong with anything from MST3K; even the less-than-stellar moments ("The Unearthly", "The Gunslinger") beat 99% of what you'll find on TV nowadays. Happily, this is a good one: a movie just bad enough to work with, better than average sketches, and the riffing...the sweet, sweet riffing. To this day, I can't look at Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard of Oz" without wetting myself (Just watch the movie.) Oh, and it's my birthday tomorrow...

Summary: I ACCUSE JOEL & THE 'BOTS....
Review: ....of making me laugh my a$$ off. This is one of the greats. The "Truck Farmer" short is bleak and hilarious... from its ridiculous portrayal of pioneers heading west, to its non-PC depiction of farm workers, to the fact that there is not one truck in the entire thing. "Some farmers like to plow to Igor Stravinsky!" Thanks, Crow, for the belly-laugh! The feature is a new high/low in the non-SciFi genre... a morality tale for the Eisenhower era. Jimmy is a product of growing up in an 80-proof household... his parents swill the stuff like water. Jimmy's mother: this chick is off the chain. The "swinger" allusions are a riot... but it's like the Cleavers live next door... kinky! The scene where Jimmy sells Kitty shoes is priceless. Likewise, Kitty's horendous vocal numbers are brilliantly skewered by Joel and the 'Bots; you will be laughing so hard that you will have to watch them multiple times to catch everything. A supporting cast to die for, as well. When is Rhino just going to bite the bullet, pay the marginal copyright fees, and put this whole series out on DVD? THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE and WEREWOLF need to see digital glory.

Summary: the stirring sequel to j'accuse...
Review: i accuse my parents is kinda underrated. it's a good episode. it features one of those great, inexplicably weird characters: the guy who runs the hamburger stand. if somebody was being that kind to me, religious or not, i'd get out of there tout suite. i was just thinking, this movie really defies the title MYSTERY SCIENCE theater 3000. there's really no mystery or science, except perhaps the twisted psyche of main character jimmy, which mike and the bots explore in one of the skits. the truck farmer short is pretty funny, and provides a frigteningly unflinching look at mexican near-slave labor (apparently it's not a big deal). i try to mention something for NEW fans in all of my reviews, so here we go: i wouldn't START here in exploring mst3k, but it's a good place to go once you've experienced some classic episodes like manos and red zone cuba
