MST3K:Mitchell

One of the best MST episodes without a doubt. Oh wait, I've only seen a couple. But STILL, even before the opening credits finished, I felt like I got my money's worth. The title graphics appears all sqooshed together and Joel sees......"Mittens??" Crow-"Joe Don Baker IS Mittens!...he's a cop". Joel "Oh wait, it's Mitchell." Servo-"oh, the Martha Mitchell story..Joe Don Baker IS Martha Mitchell!" The credits roll on with a vintage 70's soundtrack. Servo-"Any movie with 'wakka cha wakka cha' is okay by me!", as all three fall in chanting 'wakka cha wakka cha wakka cha wakka'. But it just never stops. The story begins and it's just non-stop...the jokes that is. It's so great. Some guy makes a phone call calling someone named Rudy. "Rudy!" ..Servo shoots in "Tootie!" The laugh a minute big car 'chase' hits with the two slow rolling vehicles entering the highway-"Hot merging action!" A grim looking mobster sits on a park bench. Crow-"Did I tell you I'm Italian. Let me restate that." My favorite gag of all is one scene where MITCHELL! is arguing with some kid, back and forth and back and forth, forcing Servo to scream "ARRRRGGGGGGGGhh!" What I'm finding with these MST3K episodes is I'm building a love affair with Tom Servo and Crow. I just love their quips and the sound of their voices AND the way they look when they're saying them! I was watching one episode from the first season and Tom's voice sounded different and I was pretty alarmed. I needed my Kevin Murphy Tom, not the guy who did Servo's voice in season 1. Joel I like better than Mike although I'll probably warm up to Mike somewhere down the line. Mitchell being Joel's final show you can tell he's a little 'misty' during the opening. In conclusion, Mitchell is a perfect fit for Joel and the robots. It just lends itself to their zingers all the way through. I'm just gonna have to buy this methinks. One of the best MST3K episodes I've seen. (I've only seen about 3)...so far!                                     10/21/08
