Mystery Science Theater 3000

Mystery Science Theater 3000, also called MST3K, was a cult television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best Brains Inc., based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Its premise involved fictional characters making fun of old and sometimes forgotten low-budget movies, a format which proved to be influential. Original episodes aired on The Comedy Channel, Comedy Central and the Sci Fi Channel from 1989 to 1999. The show started with a short run on Minnesota UHF station KTMA channel 23 from November 24, 1988 to 1989; in 1990, it became one of the first two shows picked up by the new Comedy Channel, along with Hodgson's other creation, the short-lived Higgins Boys and Gruber. While never a huge ratings hit, MST3K attained a fiercely loyal fan following and much critical acclaim; the series garnered a Peabody Award in 1993.

If you know anything about your humble narrator you know I love this damned show and still do years after it has closed down for good. Expect no MST3K mega site just a few bits and pieces from pages past for a show that still can cheer me up no matter what’s going on. -Roblem
