Amazon has confused Volumes V, VI & XXIII, and the reviews for these three volumes are jumbled together (Roman Numerals are hard!)
Be careful which Volume you are ordering.

176 episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 were cablecast between 1989 and 1999 on Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel.
Rhino started issuing selected episodes on DVD in 2000, reaching Volume 12 in 2007 before Shout! Factory took over the project.
The series is now up to Volume 38.
Shout! is also reissuing the old Rhino Volumes - up to Volume 6 so far (Volumes 7-12 yet to come).
-- 133 Episodes are currently on Shout!
--- 28 Episodes previously on Rhino are out-of-print (a temporary situation).
--- 15 Episodes have never been released by Rhino or Shout - I hope some of them will appear in future volumes (but I am an incurable optimist).

-- MST3K EPISODES IN BROADCAST ORDER see Comment One (click on "Oldest first")
-- MST3K EPISODES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER see Comment Two
-- OUT-OF-PRINT EPISODES ON RHINO see Comment Three
-- EPISODES NEVER COMMERCIALLY ISSUED ON DVD see Comment Four

SHOUT VOLUME V is a straight reissue of Rhino Volume 5 from 2004.
No new bonus features were created, but all the old ones are carried over.
Shout has a big price advantage: $27 (new) vs. $129 for Rhino.
Another advantage: Shout has closed captioning (not SDH subtitles - see "Assorted Topics" below).
Contents of Volume V:
-- Time Chasers (Episode 821)
-- The Touch of Satan (908)
-- Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders (1003)
-- Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues (1006)
All four are from the Sci-Fi Channel era with Mike Nelson.
Pearl Forrester is the villain, aided by Brain Guy and Professor Bobo (exception: Babysitter Steffi is guest villain in Episode 908)

-- Episode 821: "Time Chasers", Crow uses a time machine to travel back to Wisconsin in 1985, where he alters history, causing unexpected repercussions on the Satellite of Love.
-- Episode 908: "The Touch of Satan", Pearl Forrester is out-of-town and Steffi the Babysitter (Beez McKeever, photo 7) is left in charge of Brain Guy and Bobo.
The only episode without one of the principal villains.
-- Bonus: Thirty minute interview from 2004 with Kevin Murphy and Mike Nelson.

SHOUT VOLUME VI is a straight reissue of Rhino Volume 6 from 2004.
-- Attack of the Giant Leeches (Episode 406)
-- Gunslinger (Episode 511)
-- Teenagers from Outer Space (Episode 404)
-- Mr. B's Lost Shorts
All three episodes are from the Comedy Central Era with Joel Hodgson.
Dr. Clayton Forrester is the villain, aided by TV's Frank.
Instead of a fourth episode, Rhino cheated by including "Mr. B's Lost Shorts", a collection of short films (they did the same with Volumes 1 & 2).
Unfortunately, Shout reissues perpetuate this hoax.
Thankfully, Volume 6 was the last time that we will have to put up with this.

OCD compels me to put things in logical order.
The thirty-eight MST3K volumes are a special challenge.
A jumble of early and late shows, but you have the option of re-arranging the episodes in broadcast order (the host segments have ongoing story arcs) or alphabetical order.
-- Volumes I-XII are packaged in four-disc DVD cases, but attractive fan-created single episode covers are available on the internet (see "Assorted Topics" below).
-- Volumes XIII-XXXVIII: Each episode is already in an individual DVD case.

STAR:
-- Joel Hodgson = 86 Episodes (101-512), Seasons 1-5a
-- Mike Nelson = 91 Episodes (512-1013), Seasons 5b-10
MAD SCIENTISTS ("Mads")
-- Dr. Clayton Forrester = 128 Episodes (101-706), Seasons 1-7
-- Pearl Forrester = 48 Episodes (801-1013), Seasons 8-10
[but Pearl's first appearance was in Season Six and she was a supporting character in Season Seven]
ASSISTANT MADS:
-- Dr. Laurence Erhardt = 13 Episodes (101-113)
-- TV's Frank = 109 Episodes (201-624)
-- Pearl Forrester = 6 Episodes (701-706)
-- Professor Bobo = 48 Episodes (801-1013)
-- Brain Guy (Observer) = 44 Episodes (805-1013)

ASSORTED TOPICS

1) KTMA EPISODES:
The first season on Comedy Central was actually the show's second season.
In 1988-89, 21 episodes aired on Minneapolis-St.Paul television station KTMA.
All but one survive, but the picture quality is poor.
For the curious, they are listed on Ebay.
In the Ebay search bar, under DVDs & Movies, enter: MST3K KTMA
Great concept, but the riffs are pretty hit-and-miss.
9 of the 21 KTMA films were re-done for Comedy Central, but with more laughs.

2) NETFLIX:
Fourteen episodes were produced in 2017.
Joel Hodgson is the producer, but the writers and on-screen cast are entirely new.
One good idea: Several episodes feature guest appearances by Mary Jo Pehl as Pearl Forrester, Bill Corbett as Brain Guy, and Kevin Murphy as Professor Bobo.
If you are not a member of Netflix, you can get a one month membership for free.
I haven't heard yet if there is a plan to release these episodes on DVD or Blu-Ray.
(I wish they would - I hate watching movies on my computer.)

3) SINGLE EPISODE DVD COVERS:
Do a google search for:
mst3k dvd covers joshway

4) CLOSED CAPTIONING:
Shout! Factory never publicized this, but in 2015 they started issuing DVDs with Closed Captioning (not the same as SDH Subtitles)
It was first used in Volume XXX.
MST3K Volumes 1-5 and 30-38 have Closed Captioning.
-- "Closed Captioning" is a forty year-old technology devised for broadcast television.
In order to see the closed captioning, press the "Captioning" or "CC" button on your TELEVISION'S remote control while the disc is playing.
One major problem:
Closed Captioning will not work if your DVD or Blu-Ray player is connected to the TV using the preferred modern method of HDMI cable.
It will only work with the older three plug (red-white-yellow) cable (or with ancient 75 ohm coaxial cable).
-- "English SDH Subtitles" were developed specifically for DVD.
When you load the disc, the Disc Menu gives you the option of Subtitles, or you can press the "Subtitle" button on your DVD PLAYER'S remote control.
"SDH Subtitles" are superior technology, but "Closed Captioning" is better than nothing.
