Welcome to the Mostervision page.
FAQ (frequently asked question): What's the difference between Monstervision on TNT and Mystery Science Theater 3000 (still showing in reruns @ 9am each Saturday) on the Sci-Fi channel?

Hey, who took all my Crawlers
This week in history, a man in Texas climbed up inside a building and turned it into The Deadly Tower (Kurt Russell's first movie), and this week in 1998, Joe Bob showed Jaws followed by Mel Stuart's movie about the assassination of John F. Kennedy - Judge Dredd would've known what to do with Lee Harvey Oswald
And Hitchcock's North By Northwest (1959) is on TCM - you know, the movie where Cary Grant is chased cross-country by men in black after witnessing a political assassination while a shadowy Washington agency charts his progress, and he ends up hanging down the face of Mt. Rushmore while Martin Landau stands on his fingers...
Joe Bob Briggs tells the story of Thanksgiving followed by a review of "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5" starring Mickey Rooney as a demented toymaker. And Showtime's showing Pinocchio's Revenge again, a demented R-rated "Child's Play" wannabe

What's kung fu like in spanish? Tune in Telemundo for movies like Big Trouble in Little China...it's fun! Big Trouble In Little China was, of course, last seen on MonsterVision in 1997 following Theodore Rex. They've also shown Universal Soldier starring Jean Claude Van Damme, a man who already needs sub-titles in English

The Shadow is on USA Network in September and the Sci-Fi Channel will run Outer Limits: Cold Hands, Warm Heart / I, Robot on October 3, the Outer Limits episodes that starred William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy, previously seen back-to-back on MonsterVision. Of course Joe Bob couldn't help mentioning the Star Trek movies directed by Nimoy (ST3 & ST4) and Shatner (exactly).
Pop quiz: which would you rather see, the original silent-movie version of "The Three Musketeers" or Hellraiser 3: Hell On Earth? Dumb question

The 5000 Fingers of Dr T is scheduled this month on the British Sci Fi Channel UK
Arnold Schwarzenegger announced 8-6-03 that he is running for Governor of California. Turner had already pulled all Conan and Terminator movies from their schedule starting 8-1, replacing them with "Ghostbusters" last Saturday. Oddly enough, they ran Terminator the following Saturday/Sunday. ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX have announced they will not run any of Arnold's movies until after California's special election in early October, Turner & other cable channels may simply "black out" Arnold's movies on cable systems in California like they do for regional sports. Just last month, he was promoting "Terminator 3," and now it's Total Recall. By the way, Gary Coleman is also running for Governor, so the same thing will happen with his movies & tv-series "Different Strokes" Arnold's official website

Note: Host segments for Xtro 2:The 2nd Encounter, which was followed that night by The Silencers have been posted. It ends with a paragraph that some might find disturbing due to the events of 9-11-01. This is the biggest, most popular Monstervision fan site on the internet. Don't believe me? Type "Monstervision host segments" in any major search engine and see what happens. Ozbricks.com/crowbar (the second biggest) removed "Xtro 2" host segments some time ago and doesn't return my email so I guess it's because of that final paragraph in which Joe Bob in 1999 notes that the guys in the movie say they have enough explosive to "blow up the World Trade Center" and Joe Bob says don't they realize that Arabs might be listening? Anyway, you now have fair warning before I post the host segments in question. I added links to John Bloom's first-hand accounts of 9-11 to the Joe Bob Briggs page some time ago (he was in New York that day). John Bloom has a website separate from his JoeBobBriggs.com

A Jewish man goes to eat at a Chinese resturant and wonders if there are any Chinese Jews. So he asks the waiter, "Pardon me, but I'd like to know if there are any Chinese Jews?"
The waiter says, "I no know, I go ask manager."
The waiter returns from the kitchen in a few minutes and says, "No. No Chinese Jews. We have orange juice, tomato juice, grape juice, and pineapple juice, but no Chinese juice."
