With that done, Season One is officially over! As you all know, J. Elvis Weinstein (Tom Servo/Dr. Erhardt) left the show between the first and second seasons. Apparently, he felt the show had become less fun and more like work once they switched to actually writing the shows out ahead of time. Considering he wasn't even twenty when he started, I think his young age had something to do with his departure as well. As a riffer, he was actually pretty good. He had plenty great riffs and a good timing. It's kinda hard to gauge him by the first season, since the show wasn't quite where we all know and love it at.

Here's my rankings of the episodes in order from best to worst.

Season One:
1. Robot Monster: 8/10
2. Women of the Prehistoric Planet: 7/10
3. Moon Zero Two: 7/10
4. Untamed Youth: 6.5/10
5. Mad Monster: 6/10
6. The Corpse Vanishes: 6/10
7. Project Moon Base: 6/10
8. The Black Scorpion: 6/10
9. The Slime People: 5.5/10
10. Robot Holocaust: 5.5/10
11. The Crawling Eye: 5/10
12. The Crawling Hand 3.5/10
13. The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy: 2/10

Expect Season Two to start Monday.
