Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Horror Movies premering on TV at the time was a real treat because back then our access to them was limited, from way back when we honestly couldn't even buy a copy. And really made it something to look forward to kick back and watch on a late night if you can't think of anything better to do, nothing on at the theater or simply have a good time. It was one of the things that help introduce and get me into the horror genere and everything it contained. Another thing it did for me was it was one of the things that inspired me to speak/act in front of the camera, showing me that I can actually have fun and be myself.Monstervision out of a lot of the horror hosted shows is my favorate one, this believe it or not was the very first horror hosting show I ever seen and I still feel is one of the best. Not a lot I can say, this show just premered a lot of really fun films not just horror but sci-fi and on occasion fantasy and action all B movie, cult classic goodness. The only bad thing was unfortunately most parts of the film were censored which kinda sucks, this was before the ratings board and those censor function you all familiar with. But this didn't dull the experience for me from that at least it motivated me to rent or buy those copies so I can see the film in it's athunticity.But personally what I really tuned into this show for is "Joe Bob Briggs" himself. This guy is just the ultimate horror host, he is just so much fun he just has some of the darndest things to say and a delishious delivery and presentation. I even really love that theme song which is one of my favorate theme songs, it's kinda a simple country song but an actually fun one because it's comical and let alone the song is about horror movies, which you honestly don't see on any country singers venue or radio station.There are some memorable episodes like the "Friday the 13th" marathon which was great and was what really got me into the franchise. Though for some damn reason they couldn't play the forth film, I really like his reaction which was funny but actually genuine that was mine also; it's like ordering a meal and expecting everything to be there only to look in the bag and discover not everything is in place, yeah that tees me off.But in each episode there was also something happening to keep things fun and interesting. From Joe talking to some guy outside that we never see which I always found funny and strange since the guy never really talks back, kinda makes you wonder if Joe can hear him telepathically.There would be some guest stars he would interact with some horror alumi which was really cool. But my favorate was when he would do those lists and personal ratings, I always crack up whenever he would name all the different non existant martial arts styles each of them with the suffix fu at the end. Most of this was actually inproved or at least it looked that way in places, but whatever the case it was an example of good hosting all the same.This show is a real treat for anyone for horror fans into vintage horror host shows, it's a real gem.

Every week I would watch TNT's Monstervision hosted by Joe Bob Briggs (John Bloom) and Renner St. John. Joe Bob was a hilarious host for this show! I just couldn't stop laughing sometimes when he would joke about movies. The show was a couple hours long and he would have some of the most outrageous low budget films ever. His hosting was really good and he has such a cool look. Renner St. John was OK as the mail girl but I loved it when Joe Bob would pick on her. This was truly on of the most exciting, funny, and special weekly program and its a shame that this great show is no longer airing. It was a real classic program and that in My opinion there will never be another one like this! If you have a video tape or can some how watch this show do it because I strongly recommend it!

Monstervision is my all time favorite TV show. Joe Bob Briggs and his cheesy movies helped me get through countless tough Saturday nights. Even though I fell asleep during the second movie every week, I especially enjoyed Joe Bob's rants before each show and his tidbits in between commercials as well as Rusty the mail girl and obscure guests such as Linnea Quigly, Zachary Ty Bryan and Eugene Levy. The movies were great also. (the Guyver, Embrace of the Vampire, Voodoo, The Beastmaster, et. al. i recall Joe Bob's Friday the 13th marathon on Halloween being a real treat. I don't understand what happened to this great show. I came home from college for the summer one year and it was just gone. No explanation, no farewell show, just nothing!! Another network should pick up Monstervision or even just give Joe Bob another similar show. It had a cult following and no real competetion at 1:30 AM on saturdays...whats the problem??Someone please get Joe Bob back on the air. He is THE MAN.

I've been watching this show for three years now, and I simply love it because of how funny Joe Bob Briggs is. In fact, he's my idol now.Every Saturday night I tune into TNT to watch the cheesy flicks he hosts, and I like only SOME of the ones he plays. My favorite segments in his show are when he reads some fain mail on the air with Rusty the Mailgirl (because I send some in) and when he does the Drive-In Totals for a film he shows. I hope that "Monstervision" remains to be the longest running television series, as long as everyone's favorite funny man stays as host. It wouldn't be the same without him. You can also catch Mr. Briggs make cameo appearances in films such like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2", "Casino", "The Great Outdoors", and "Face/Off".Right next to Howard Stern, Joe Bob Briggs may top over the classy radio DJ as the "King of all Media".
