It’s totally cool to be that guy because it means we get to share fun things with you and considering how old this is, it’s exciting because we don’t often get to share it as new and fresh with other folks. Feel good about being the ‘Who’s thaaaaaaaat?’ guy!
The best I can do right now is point you to is this big archive of stuff from… archive.org. They’ve got most of the KTMA years and a bunch of seasons 1-4.
Ignore the weird name of the link, it’s a big playlist of files. You can also find other “lost episodes” on archive.org by searching something like “mst3k archive.org”
EDIT: For anyone else, you can also find them at Joel’s Gizmoplex website, and it looks like you can watch Seasons 1-10 by just making an account.
We started watching MST3K together when we first started dating, but you had to find them on YouTube. Then Netflix had them but the only have the reboot now (which we have finished).
I’ve discovered a trove of Rifftrax on Tubi which we’ve been watching lately, but classic MST3K is still my favourite.
If you can afford it, Joel owns all the rights these days, and you can get access to the high quality full catalog at Joel’s home for MST3K since Netflix dropped them and they released Season 13 on their own:
The Gizmoplex! It’s very sad that they weren’t able to crowdfund enough for a Season 14, but post-COVID and high inflation, it’s been tough for everyone. I feel lucky for the new seasons we got.
Anywho, almost everything is available there, except for a handful that refuse to re-sign the rights to MST3K, for instance Final Sacrifice I think is tied up in rights limbo and you can only watch it through illicit less-than-legal means. Is it cheap? By all means no! It is worth it? By all means yes!
EDIT: Actually it looks like you can watch classic episodes for free as long as you make a Gizmoplex account? I haven’t been back to the site lately until now.
You can get most of the episodes on the Gizmoplex. They do not have the rights to all of them. However, some of the ones they don’t have the rights to are on YouTube, others are on the Internet Archive. A certain Canadian favorite keeps getting copyright strikes but someone inevitably puts it up a few weeks later.
Not sure if you’re interested in joining us on the official MST3K forums… but if you want to, it’s a great bunch of smart and funny people and we spend most of the time just joking around. We also have group watches of episodes and group watches of unriffed stuff to then riff on the forums while watching.
I didn’t initially link the Gizmoplex, because I thought it cost money to access old episodes too, but it looks like you might just need to make a Gizmoplex account to get access to old episodes.
Honestly, it would be the primary place to go for it all, because it’s through Joel and his company now that he retains the rights again. So the money is going to good people.

I just wanna watch all the old mst3k and don’t know how to sail, so I ended up watching this silliness through

ROWSDOWER!!!
Oh I know, thankfully the Gizmoplex helpfully lists which episodes are missing when you browse by season.

I just screamed loud enough to wake my dead plants. Thank you, Sir Snot

I’m getting the app and supporting the ever-loving shit out of this.
In my hometown there’s an old Crow prop in a club I once frequented, I’m so excited.
This is amazing, thank you!
