It definitely helps if you would otherwise watch a bad movie. The Gamera episode is my all-time favorite; and when these shows were first airing I was watching every Japanese monster movie I could on my own (they're so bad they're often hilarious even without the MST3K crew).

The appeal for me is also that I'm from Minnesota like those guys; some of the jokes are inside jokes. It was also on late night during the 90s when not much else was on; some of the appeal now is nostalgic.
