I am trying to complete watching every episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Mighty Jack is about the last one I have yet to watch. I was going back to KTMA episode days and started watching that Mighty Jack and man oh man was it sucking, I think Joel and his buds were mainly ad libbing in those days with a lot of long pauses in the riffing, so after 15 minutes of that (FYI avoid the KTMA version of Mighty Jack), I switched to the season 3 version. Now Joel has been doing this for over 3 years and this is his heyday, he is in the groove, they have joke writers and things are moving along good. Except for this episode that is. It's not the least favorite episode I have watched (Those Master Ninja ones and Castle Of Fu Manchu may be close to bottom for me), but it's not a good episode or even an average episode. I will say that the first half of the episode is good, Joel doing the toking a doobie bit made me laugh, but after that it gets pretty boring until the end when it gets funny again. 1 of 10 for the film, 5 of 10 as an MST3K episode. Don't point a newbie to start here. My favorite Sandy Frank episode? Time Of The Apes for sure followed by the Fugitive Alien episodes and then the first 3 Gamera ones. This one is probably my least favorite Sandy Frank MST3K episode.
