Summary: Mitchell "is that a extra feature?...No!"
Review: As much as I loved Mitchell, I hated this DVD. Why? Well the biggest reason was that there was no extra features, except for the movie trailer for the Mitchell theater release back in the 1970's. If you already have the video tape, don't bother adding ths to your DVD collection unless you are a completist and just have to have this to sit next to your other MST3K DVD's.This was Joel's last episode, at least they could have given us some bonus features that has to do with Joel's time on the show. So my fave MST3K episode on DVD was a dud, just like JDB in Congo........

Summary: We want Mitchell 2: Electric Boogaloo
Review: This was the first MST3K I ever watched (a pity I found it so late since I could never stand Comedy Central). Many determined MSTies prefer "Manos: The Hands of Fate" as the quintessential MST3K episode, but I'm partial to "Mitchell". My god, but this MSTed movie is hysterical! "Mitchell" was a typical mid-70s detective TV movie (I suspect it was a failed pilot), complete w/ big Kojak-style American cars, painfully cheesy dialog, and gratuitous lapels. It cries out for the MST3K treatment because it takes itself so seriously. See: -the world's slowest car chase!
-a menacing Merlin Olsen!
-a classic John Saxon villain nonperformance!
-Joe Don Baker + Linda Evans + a bottle of baby oil = the most disturbing scene ever committed to film!
-finally, sadly, Joel Hodgson's graceful exit from the series via a convenient box of hamdingers. Rumor has it that Joe Don Baker was furious at the MST3K treatment of this meisterwerk. I can understand it, I guess...he was sort of a 1970s quasiserious character actor. JDB is truly a better actor when he satirizes his own slobby character, for example in "Goldeneye" and "Tomorrow Never Dies". Loosen up, JD, you're not that bad but for god's sake NEVER play it straight again. Comedy Central eventually cancelled MST3K, which returned it to its normal nonfunny mode. "Mitchell" is a gem, and I'm delighted to see it preserved on DVD.

Summary: That's a mistake lady, not an offense.
Review: Mitchell stars the loathesome, (at least here) Joe Don Baker as a "rebel" cop who does not play by the system's rules. The plot involves heroin, a trade union lawyer, and a hooker among other things. There are many references to "3M" by Joel and the bots, and in fact the music sounds like it is lifted out of a promotional video. Among the oddities of Mitchell are, a very slow car chase, a helicopter chase, Mitchell's disturbing life with a hooker, and a side plot involving some Mafia-type guys(they have Italian accents) as heroin smugglers. Joel's last perormance as Joel Robinson and Mike's first as Mike Nelson. Well worth the purchase price.

Summary: Not the Baby Oil!!!
Review: My favorite MST3K films are the ones that were actually made with a bit of a budget. Mitchell is a great piece of 70's cheese with a bevy of stars at low points in their careers--giving Joel and the 'bots plenty of in-joke fodder. They are never better than when they are making fun of Joe Don Baker. This episode is about as good as Mystery Science gets. Also, if you like this, watch Angel's Revenge

Summary: Bye-Bye Joel!
Review: Must say Joel was my fav and it was sad to see him go, but he couldn't go out with a bigger or funnier bang! This is most certainly one of my favorites! Great late night-tired funny movie.

Summary: BABY OIL!!! NOOO!!!
Review: One of the best MST3K episodes ever. Joel, Servo and Crow give this chunk of garbage the roasting it deserves. My favorite scene is when Mitchell gets beaten up by the two goons. Its when Joel says "is it wrong for me to want to see this?" Indeed, I was rooting for the two goons. And the scene where Mitchell is lying in his filthy bed, surrounded by beer cans. He gets up, drunk out of his mind, and Servo makes loud fart noises. I nearly died laughing at that one. So grab a tall cold one, and watch this tape.

Summary: Heh heh! You can't grow steaks
Review: The best MST3K I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a lot of them), Joel and the Bots are downright hillarious. A few samples: "Hot merging action!" "Oh, my goodness, they merged succesfully. My heart was in my throat." "Hey, it's the Starship Enterprise in drydock." plus a special cameo from "Andy Kaufman?" If you haven't seen this episode, you haven't lived.

Summary: Ma-ma-ma-Mitchell! What would yo mama say!?
Review: I was never a big fan of Mike on Mst3K, so I was happy that they released this episode, the last one with Joel. Although not as funny as Cave Dwellers or Pod People (although the Johnnny Mathis burgler remark was dead on hilarious), Mitchell is another film that rightfully deserves the attentions of Tom Servo, Crow and Joel. Probably the most disgusting scenes are in this one (namely Joe Don Bakers love scene. Awful!) This is one of those episodes in whihc you wonder whats funnier, the crews oneliners or how bad the movie is. Either way this tape is hilarious.
