I have rediscovered these through the magic of obsessive internet collectors. There are a few episodes available on DVD, and the theatrically released movie, however, most episodes are not available due to copyright issues. If you look hard enough, however, many of the best seasons are available on-line.The first up was Manos: Hands of Fate, once ranked at the very bottom of the IMDB in user reviews. It's really dreadful, and, since it's relatively light on action, dialog and plot, the cast mostly riffs on the extended shots of scenery in which nothing happens. Ten minutes in: "Has the movie started yet?"
Next was Laserblast, a movie Maltin gave two stars. At the end, the cast starts leafing through his movie ratings book, finding films equally as outstanding as Laserblast. "Unforgiven, Eastwood's return to the classic western with a deep and moving storyline, however, it's only half a star better than Laserblast!"
Last night I watched "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell," a late 80's production, if you could call it a production. This one had me on the floor laughing. A princess's dying wish for the protagonist, tasking him to protect a dodgy looking magical crystal, "Protect this with your life!" One of the robots pipes up, "A doorknob from your grandma's house?!?"
If you like really bad movies, or more specifically, making fun of really bad movies, these are great fun to watch. Usually you'll see actors from other popular B movies, who the cast will point out and make fun of. Recomended to all fans of low-to-zero budget cinema.

Follow Ups:
Also "Alien In L.A.". ~AH
a very sad end for a beautiful girl....
The only redeeming feature of the film, even though,IMO, she wasn't much of an actress, then neither was Marilyn,Jayne,Raquel, etc. I cringe when I think about her hubby blowing her pretty face off point blank with a shotgun. If she had only not gone to their apartment to
discuss divorce, then maybe things might have turned out differently.
BTW, Jamie Lee Curtis played Dorothy in "The DS Story". ~AH
~AH
Marilyn not much of an actress?? I beg to differ.
although I will admit she had something of a comedic sense, not to mention a sexy sultriness. But I wonder how Anton LeVay felt when she
giggled and farted in bed during their escapades? ~AH
I have a couple of these on DVD and agree, they are truly hilarious. Unfortunately the film they chose to lampoon in a theatrical release,
"This Island Earth", is too good to parody successfully. But the schlocky ones they use in the TV series are ripe for skewering.BTW, my favorite 'bot is Gypsy.
My favorite line occurs when Rex Reason and Faith Domergue are standing by an airplane when a wood-paneled station wagon drives up. "Hey, there are two woodies in this scene".
Heh. The best lines are when they are trying to decipher an actor's or actress's non-reaction to something. "Anger? Confusion? Hunger? What are you trying to convey?!?!?!"Another good line from Deathstalker: "We have T-minus four seconds to an emotion!"
