Following the most successful crowd funding campaigns in history, the cult classic Mystery Science Theater 3000 is finally set to return. A Fourteen-episode season is set to air as soon outlet is announced. AND to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rifftrax, Joel Hodgson and many of the original Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast will appear together with Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy LIVE on stage for an MST3K REUNION SHOW set for June 28th! But first, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Won't You?
For those unaware, Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a high-concept, low budget, comedy TV series that ran for eleven seasons on various networks from 1988 to 1999. The show was the brain child of comedian Joel Hodgson.
The show is about a man (originally played by Hodgson, later by Michael J. Nelson) who is shot into space by evil scientists. Marooned in space, he is forced to watch bad movies. To keep from going insane, Joel Robinson builds himself a pair of wise-cracking robot companions to keep him company. Every week the mad scientists (aka 'The Mads) fire off an excruciatingly bad movie for their orbiting lab rat and his robot pals, Servo and Crow, to endure. But that is just the set-up. All of that is merely an excuse to get Joel and the 'bots in a darkened theater to make fun of some of the world's worst movies - all for our enjoyment! After some banter between Joel and the Mads at the top of the show, an alarm would sound and Joel would loudly exclaim "WE'VE GOT MOVIE SIGN!" Get in the theater, fellas. It's time for the hilarity to really begin!

They blew up the Hitler building!
The reunion show is apparently a “must go to movie theater” thing. I can’t figure out where the new is being shown.
It may be sharia compliant and halal soon. islam will decree it and dogma will be followed.
That's where the fish lives.
My wife will not be pleased.
Love this show!!
Mine was from The Giant Spider Invasion:
Ev: “You know, it’s too bad there’s a little age difference between us. If you were a little bit older, I’d jump ya.”
Nelson: “I’ve got cables in the car, Ma’am.”
The English Patient would give you three hours of material.
Robot Roll Call!
“GO PACKERS! WOOOOOOOOOO!”
Space Mutiny, Riding With Death, SFO International, This Island Earth, Timechasers,Dream For Tomorrow (shorts) are on my short list.
Megaforce is one that should have made it to MST3K. There is Rifftracks though. I actually bought that one.
We’ve gone to all of the rifftracks live (replayed) events. Looking forward to the next one.
Mitchell!

I’m so glad I lived to see this day.

***This Island Earth was one of my favorites from MST3K the Movie.***
Alas, they left out so much of the movie I bought the DVD to see what MST3K left out.
