Summary: Mitchell
Review: Mitchell...pardon me...mitchell!

This is the best MSTK3 ever. I start to laugh just thinking about it. Its one of those movies that you can laugh at, even after your sixth time watching it... I know. If you want to buy any MSTK3 movie... this is it...There are those classic lines like: "theyre randomly loaded, its a little game I play""Oh, theres the body""Five minutes on a lawnchair, thats all I need, 5 minutes"

Review: It was clear to me, after noting that this was Joel's final episode, that he just flat out didnt care. lol i mean that in a good way. Neither did the rest of the show. All you have to do is look at the invention exchange they do at the beginning. Deep 13 didnt even bother, and Joel basically said "look. a stool."
They were on a roll when they got into that theater. The first 5 minutes of Mitchell had me weeping because I was laughing too hard. They're talking almost nonstop and its ALL funny. and then the Johnny Mathis bit. sigh.

"JOE DON BAKER IS MITTENS"

hehe lets try to get this show the recognition it has ALWAYS deserved. maybe if sales go up, Rhino will release more!

Summary: Slouch potato Mitchell
Review: I'm one of those rare creatures,and that is a British MST 3K fan.Sadly,this wonderful series has only been viewed on British television in the past by tuning into the minority sci/fi cable channel at odd times of the day.Indeed, if i hadn't heard a recommendation on the radio from a disc jockey who travels frequently to the States,then i would never have been aware of this fantastic show.I managed to tape a dozen or so episodes a couple of years back and was delighted to see that selected movies were available to order on DVD.I promptly ordered every available MST 3K episode/set through Amazon and will continue to buy these movies when more are advertised, as the series is not available in my country.I viewed the Joe Don Baker "classic" Mitchell a couple of days ago and loved every second of it.Why this cop thriller never made a series is easy to see but if it had,then it would've very quickly established a world wide cult following.The dialogue is excruciatingly bad throughout and our "hero" Mitchell lumbers his way from one ridiculous scene to another.I'm pretty sure that Linda Evans who plays a prostitute and Mitchell's female entertainment, cringes every time she remembers her role.It makes her part in Dynasty look like Oscar winning material and i'll bet that it will never be included on her acting CV.The amusing comments by the team are well up to standard and will have all purchasers laughing out loud.My only reservation about the MST 3K series are the scenes away from the movie featuring an assortment of strange and usually unfunny characters who always seem to be an unnecessary distraction from the main attraction.In closing,i would fully recommend this episode to all those with an interest in the series and i will continue to preach the MST 3k gospel to the uninitiated in the UK.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: Having been a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 for years, I was eager to watch this episode featuring the film "Mitchell". "Mitchell" stars Joe Don Baker in the title role of a detective who is out to solve crimes whether his bosses like it or not.

I thought that the commentary from Joel and the robots was funny, but I thought the actual movie was kind of slow. After a while I started losing interest, which has never happened while watching MST3K. I would not say that this movie is bad, but I guess I'm so used to seeing really bad movies being made fun of on this series that this one didn't seem to live up to the standards I now have. "Mitchell" seems more like a legitimate movie instead of the horrible B-movies I'm used to.

I would tell any MST3K fan to watch this film and form your own opinions. I would also suggest adding this film to your collection, regardless of what you think about the movie. You can never have too many MST3K episodes!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: classic mst3k
Review: I can't belive how funny this was. I have the vhs, but it doesn't make much difference. Anyway, this is the last episode with Joel abord the satelite of love.

I usually have to stop the tape between most jokes to stop laughing. You just might blow up by laughing to hard.

I can't imagine why Mitchell 2 never came out.......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best episode of MST3K...period.
Review: If there is one episode of MST3K to buy, it's "Mitchell." What more could a MST fan ask for? You get Joel Hodgson in his final performance as Joel Robinson. You get Mike Nelson in his first appearance as...Mike Nelson. You get, hands down, the funniest theater riffs the show ever produced. Joe Don Baker makes for the most hilarious target the SOL crew has ever mocked. And they are merciless. I cannot recommend an episode more heartily that I recommend this one. The DVD sounds and looks great, as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Farewell to Joel
Review: This is the final episode staring series founder Joel Hodgeson, a sad, yet triumphant moment for the series. This episode caused an endless uproar of laughter between my friends and I; we love this one, and have deemed it a classic. While the film itself isn't as bad as some of the other MST3K episodes I've seen, like Angel's Revenge, it's certainly not worth seeing unless you're watching the MST3K version... Mitchell is an example of how funny the crew can be, and as a long time fan of the series, (I hate to say this) but how much poor Mike J. Neilson had to live up to in succeeding Joel... and how he never quite reached that level. Not only because Mitchell is one of the funniest episodes of Mystery Science Theater, but also because it's Joel's last episode, all MST3K fans need to ad this one to their collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best episode of the series...
Review: This is the best episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" ever created. It's so funny that not seeing it twice would be a sin. Our heros' commentary on the diabolical film "Mitchell" is top-notch as the baddie has it coming. You'll never look at Joe Don Baker the same after you're through with "Mitchell!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a contributor to my personal lexicon
Review: My husband and I saw this movie and laughed until tears rolled down our cheeks. All either of us have to do is say "Mitchell!" or "The chubby blue line" to one another and we start laughing again. A definite classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Baby-oil! Aaaaaaaugh!
Review: An absolutely classic MST3k episode. From the boom-mike (big time!) to the slovenly Mitchell's inexplicable success with a prostitute out of his price range (Linda Evans) to his tendency to shoot (or eat, or drink) first and ask questions if he gets around to it, Mitchell is a movie that just keeps on giving.

This episode is a keeper. It ranks up there with "Pumaman", "Space Mutiny", "The Final Sacrifice" or "Attack of the (the) Eye Creatures". For anyone thinking of hosting an MST3k Night for their friends (the best way to watch it, btw), it's an absolute must.
