The two MST3K gems I watched this weekend were Lost Continent and Wild Rebels ("…the kicks, baby…. the kicks…" :facepalm_smiley:) I know some young people love Mystery Science Theater but a lot of the jokes and cultural references must go right over their heads, don't you think? Some of the humor is kind of slapstick and can appeal to everyone but other jokes are harder to get unless you're around Joel's age (my age).

Yes, I think the ideal audience has not been Generation X, but who knows what some such viewers would think of it?
