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!

‘Werewolf’ is still hilarious...
"Hey, who put the toilet in the middle of the living room?"
Prince of Space and Space Mutiny are two outstanding ones from the TV show. Almost too many to pick favs.
Maybe this election will finally give is a world without war, famine, and traffic accidents.
Gamera is really neat!
He is filled with turtle meat!
We all love you, Gamera!
Hope Joel is back.
Hey, gumball machine head!
Prince of Space! “Have you not realized by now that your weapons cannot harm me!?”
I never got into the 3000. It was primarily due to the poor audio. It was difficult to understand a lot of the comments/jokes, so it was difficult to ‘hear’ the comedy.
They should do “Roadhouse”
And who could forget classics like Jet Jaguar!
My all time favorite comment: “Another Buddhist protesting the helmet law” from Warrior of the Lost World.
Bought my tickets! My daughter helped with the crowd-funding, so she DEFINITELY wants to go!
Attack of the Giant Gila Monster was one my favorites.
“Things sure make sense when you’re all likkered up...”
The greatest movie ever made. No room to make fun, son.
