Eh, I disagree, they still have that stuff in there. The low-budget special effects, and such are still there especially like the minitures, and such.
I like how the “door sequence” has been “updated” with low-budget stop-motion animation, which I feel looks even more campy, and cooler. Joel himself has had a fondness for stop-motion, so it’s nice they finally put it in the show.
I don’t know, which ep’ turned you off, but the series gets better, and there’s other episodes more slower paced then the one you saw, and the writing gets better, and some episodes feel like the old classic Joel & Mike eps. There’s even a few clever cameos in it, callbacks, in-jokes for MSTie fans, and some pretty good host bits, and goofy songs.
So maybe you should give it another shot sometime.
I never really had that problem with either Mike, or the new Jonah eps. I guess I just accept minor changes better then most do.

Yeah, I don’t mind old references, and such as long as they’re amusing.
Glad, you liked the revival too, what’re your favorite new episodes?
I was a li’l wary about them doing “Mac & Me” in the new “Gauntlet” season, (as it’s more recent & well known, and has a more “so bad it’s good” quality) and I was worried they were going to focus too much on the “product placement” moments like most critics have, but luckily they had other material to work with too, and surprisingly it fit well with MST3k’s usual fair.
Though, I’m a li’l disapointed the new “Gauntlet” Season 12 only has 2 host bits in between the movie, instead of the usual 3, like the last “The Return” season, but I still enjoyed it.
“Stop! They’re not going to hurt you!”
“They’re just nude!”

So ALL of the Midwest charm, the shoestring-budget tricks, the witty remarks and repartee, the ‘campiness’ some would call it, was punched in the stomach and left for dead at the roadside.

I had a similar difficult time getting used to Mike, when Joel left. It’s like when a new Doctor appears in Doctor Who: you’ve gotten so used to “your” Doctor, then this new jerk shows up, and everything feels wrong. But over time, you learn to accept that this is how things are going to be, and you move forward.
