The show used to be on the sci-fi channel. It was about this guy and a couple of robots who are stuck in space and have been sentenced to watch crappy old sci-fi movies as punishment for something or another. I can't quite remember what for. During the screening of a film, you can see their silhouettes at the bottom of the screen and hear their voices while they comment and ridicule the movies to bits.
I want to order myself some dvds. Are there any episodes you remember as being especially funny? I remember some of them being hit and miss so I don't want to go ordering a dvd with boring episodes.

Manos the Hands of Fate and Eegah are must-haves on DVD..
they also are doing those collection DVDs with a couple episodes now..
Volumes 2, 5 and 6 are the best imo.
There is also a DVD collection called "The Essentials" that has basically the 2 best episodes (Manos and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) and has a bonus disc of Shorts.
The creators encourage tape trading and downloading of anything that isn't released on DVD, so check The Digital Archive Project (dapcentral.org) and myspleen.net for torrents and stuff..
also there are a few full episodes on youtube, just for fun.

myspleen comes highly recommended... i have an old DAP user, but they used eDonkey and it went so gruesomely slow.
