I'm one of the biggest Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans there is, and I used to prefer Joel before I watched more of Mike. I now prefer Mike much much more than Joel. I just find Mike to be more personable, more talented, and funnier. He also has better chemistry with the other actors. Apparantly, Joel was a jerk and a prima donna which made it hard for the other actors (especially Kevin Murphy [Tom Servo]) to work with him and it shows. And it's painfully obvious by the 5th season that Joel wanted nothing more to do with MST3k. Once Mike took over, you can almost see everyone's faces looking more relaxed and the show became a lot funnier.

I love both of them though to be honest, and I love every episode of MST3k. It's by far my favourite TV show ever. I'm also a big fan of Family Guy.
Shows that I'm impressed by right now though are Dexter, and the BBC's Robin Hood.
