I have some of those in mpg format if your interested. I grabbed them back in 2015.
Also...you all said you are missing some....please give me a list and i can go thru my set and put what i have on mega.

I mean, strictly speaking, none of the stuff that doesn't have an MPEG version is actually important. The size vs. quality isn't great on MPEG releases, so it's probably not worth the effort. I was just noting what was missing for completionists. A lot of that stuff has my DVDrips for the shorts; those are probably as good as the MPEGS, if not better. So I'm not sure any of it really matters. Though any of the ones on the list with just a low re-encode / no "High TV" or "mp4 for tablets" could use a better version, if you've got one.

like i said...i have the mpg's...all have the Rifftrax bumpers at the end. I did notice the bitrate was less on your DVDrips compared to the original mpg (and almost double than the "HighTV" versions)...and of course the bumpers are removed on your rips so the times differ. What I could do is go ahead and dump all my mpgs into a folder and let everyone decide what they want to grab or not. I won't include the avi or wmv (obviously they are inferior)
I assumed you were looking for the originals of all the items you put in your post. If you feel your dvdrips "as good as the MPEGS, if not better."...then i can certainly pull back my offer. I don't want to step on your toes. I was merely offering an alternative selection.
as a 'for instance'...here is one example of a HighTV comparison (no need to belabor more than one....1 example is plenty):
posted "Coffee House Rendezvous (HighTV)" data rate/total bitrate - 2463kbps/2620kbps
my "Coffee House" data rate/total bitrate - 4000kbps/4128kbps
length is exactly the same, frame width/height is exactly the same
the only difference i see besides the data/bit is in the AUDIO bitrate...which for your "highTV" is 157kpbs...and mine is 128kbps...so yeah the hightv is a perceptible bit better audiowise...
As for your DVDrips...again here is one example for comparison:
posted "One Got Fat" (DVDrip) date rate/total bitrate - 3602kbps/3794kbps
my "One Got Fat" date rate/total bitrate - 4000kpbs/4128kbps
my length is greater by 9 secongs (rifftrax bumper), frame width/height is exactly the same
again...your audio bitrate is better - 191kbps vs my 128kbps...
yes yours is "as good as" the MPEGS (no one is going to notice a real difference of 400kbps)
I am not here to compete with any of you...I came only to offer what I have to fellow fans...that's all. I know this thread is your baby, and believe me, I am grabbing everything the links provide, not just because i am a huge fan of MST3K, Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, Film Crew, The Frank, Edward The Less, 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back, Bill Corbett's Funhouse or Movie Sign With The Mads...but because i am an archivist. Hell, I have over 3Tb just in my 'Rifftrax' folder (not including the shorts, we are talking full movies). I won't even mention what i have in the other 81Tb of my current archives. (and growing constantly)
You mentioned that the mpg list you provided was for completionists only...well...as an archivist...I AM a completionist. If, as you say "it's probably not worth the effort" and "I'm not sure any of it matters"...well then...simply say 'thanks anyway...but no thanks'

Well, the MPG files are MPEG2 and the DVDrips are AVC x264, so - practically speaking - the MPEGs would have to be multiples higher in bitrate to be superior to the AVC because of its drastically better compression. That's one of the big downsides to their early encoding, though that was back in the day that people were still using Divx/Xvid pretty commonly. Too bad they've never gone back and re-encoded all the old videos for better quality and size.
My point was moreso that it isn't really that important. If you've got them, have the space, and have the time - by all means - feel free to put them up. Definitely for those several that don't have any good releases at all (like Courtesy Counts A Lot or Remember Me) and the multipart ones like The Case Of Tommy Tucker that are a single video on the DVDs. But if you've got the bandwidth and a MEGA account to dump them into or something, feel free to post a link when you're done. I'm not sure every one of them warrants it, but it'd probably take more time to sort through them than to just dump them all into a folder. It never hurts to have all the original files available.

Hello BadFilms. Do you have David and Hazel part 1 with Bridget and MJ & 2 with Janet and Cole from the 2016 Sketchfest?

Sketchfest 2016 is here. Don't know why you'd edit it into separate shorts.

Thank you. They were uploaded here in separate links at one but they are both down. I was trying to get them as part one and part two so I could have it in its own folder. Thank you for the link.
