The season began on 6/6/92 and closed on 1/30/93. Mst3k was now at the top of its critical and popular peak. For me, there are a few knockout experiments nestled within a bunch knotted in the middle groove. As a result - of the seasons with 22 or more eps, year 4 contributed the fewest experiments to my top 50, with a meager 3 (though they fill out the back 50 nicely). But one of those three, the final experiment of the season, left a huge mark on the fan community and gave us one of its most enduring characters. The goat-man named Torgo!
