Joel doesn’t have his own money? Loved the show, but not enough to pay for it.
.66 million per episode?
That’s absurd, that show shouldn’t cost more than $50-$60K per episode. $100K at the absolute top end.

Mike Nelson is apparently a bit conservative too
Nelson is married to fellow MST3K writer Bridget Jones, and the pair have two sons. They moved from the Minneapolis, Minnesota area to San Diego, California in mid-2006.[5] Nelson and his family moved back to Minneapolis in 2014.
He has described the role of Christianity in his family as “the very centerpiece of our lives. We’re heavily involved in our church, my wife works with youth groups and churches as her profession, and almost every career and life decision I make depends upon it.” He studies Christian apologetics and cites William Lane Craig and C.S. Lewis as influences.[10]
During a 2004 interview with the fanatic site MST3K Review, Nelson described himself as Protestant and conservative: “I read the National Review cover to cover. Check in at Townhall.com every day. Check the Washington Times daily. Listen to Dennis Prager and Michael Medved on a regular basis. Read Mark Steyn with regularity. Read the Weekly Standard. So, yes, I do vote Republican.”[11] He later referred to the Minneapolis Star Tribune as “the Star and Sickle, or the Red Star Tribune”
I just dont know...
This show was a huge part of my early teen years in the late 80s and early 90s. It is almost sacred.
While Joel is pushing this, it likely isnt going to be the same people(?), and that is going to be tough as the concept really needs the bot’s original voices to not be too different to the original fans.
Certainly they had cast changes, but there is a formula that really had to click.
Damn I hate most reboots. But I love MST3K....but I hate reboots. Please dont mess this up!

Loved what they did with that Joe Don Baker movie “Mitchell”.
WooHoo! Join us...
Surprised TomServo hasn’t checked in on this thread yet.
It's a hilarious concept and show, but the creators were all libs.
Hot Damn!!!
When I see some of the videos on youtube that are produced for next to nothing and rival network broadcast quality, I have to wonder about this $2.2M figure.
One of my favorites was Pod people with crazy kicking ol’ Trumpy.
If they do MST3K to The Wizard of Oz, I’ll kick in $5. ;-)
MST3K is the only thing worthwhile in the history of television.
I hope Joel pulls it off.
