I had meant to embarrass myself further by talking more about why I claim to like seasons 6-8 the best but my favorite episodes are mostly from later seasons. (But i figured no one moticed or cared) So I'll just go ahead and talk about that now!
My favorite episodes of MST3K tend to be in the last three seasons because they picked some really great movies to riff. However, as a TV production, the show was better overall IMO after Joel left and before Trace left because of the host segments. Joel directed the host segments until he left and then Trace took over that job. Some of the best host segments are in seasons 6-8 when Trace was in charge of them. (Final Justice is one of those episodes in which Trace was directing)
Also I think that Trace did a great Crow T Robot. I enjoy Bill Corbett too but Trace always had a whimsy akin to the Marx Brothers. Bill is nihilistic, funny but kind of dark.
And if you thought that was dorky, that's just the tip of the ice burg. I can be way more boring if you let me get going.
