Jerry Seinfeld, Mark Hamill, Neil Patrick Harris join up with 'Mystery Science Theater 3000'

Bad movies only get better with expert heckling. "Mystery Science Theater 3000," aka MST3K, riffs on truly horrible films with the help of a human and his robot buddies.

So it only makes sense that its fans have put their money where their laughs are and helped raise millions of dollars for a new season.

With this successful Kickstarter campaign almost completed, fans of the original MST3K will have a chance to watch new episodes with a new cast, new cameos and a new writing staff.

Since this is a continuation of the series and not a reboot, they also will have new characters who will be part of the same family of mad scientist characters from the original series. This means new cameos as well.

In the latest campaign update as of Thursday, creator Joel Hodgson announced an impressive lineup of celebrities that could end up appearing as cameos in the new series if it reaches its final funding goal of $5.5 million.

Actors and comedians Jack Black, Joel McHale, Bill Hader and Neil Patrick Harris have expressed an interest in being on the show. But even bigger names like Jerry Seinfeld and Mark Hamill are also being recruited for the new series.

While these cameos seem to be missing any women from the lineup, Hodgson said he would love to see some funny females on the new series too.

Have you watched Sushi Girl? Mark Hamill is very good in that one.

That could explain part of it.

But grubbing for butts in a public ashtray?

At 64 years old, he should continue. He looks 48.

"But grubbing for butts in a public ashtray?"

I learned this from a "Snuffy Smith" comic strip

I got hooked on newspaper comic strips because my parents subscribed to the “Washington Star” and it carried “Pogo”.

Perhaps someone with better computer skills than me could run a post and maybe a ping list for comic strips here. I do check out pookie 18’s weekday posting fairly regularly.

“While these cameos seem to be missing any women from the lineup”

What a bizarre statement.

could be, he's a felcher... i saw Heineken commercials with the little fag during sports games and wondered if they really wanted to see beer or not?

trying to hawk beer with a pencilneck fag during a man's sports program seemed counter productive to me
