Who here is a MSTie? Right now is an amazing time to be a fan of MST3K. Not only because it's the greatest show ever put on TV, but because it is back via Kickstarter campaign and picked up by Netflix! This show was on the air from Thanksgiving of 1988 until its cancellation in 1999. Ironically it never saw the year 2000. From then on the rights were sat on by one Jim Mallon, who single-handedly attempted to ruin the show by not only kicking out Joel, but also made sure that he got all of the money, giving little compensation to its stars upon the time of its removal from network television.
Then 2016 rolled around, Joel Hodgson, the show's creator, was finally able to procure the rights to the show, and brought it back with the help from the fans. He was able to iron out any animosity between him and his former co-hosts, and has hired a whole new group of actors for its return to the public!
This show has brought me great joy through out the years. Its silly antics and witty riffs at bad movies is something to behold. It has garnered a huge fanbase consisting of not only the broad public, but celebrities such as Mark Hamill, Neil Patrick Harris, Penn Jillette, Jerry Seinfeld, and the list goes on.
From its Television show, to its theatrical movie, and its variety of spinoffs (Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, etc), this franchise has delighted millions, and thanks to the efforts of everyone involved with its revival, it will continue to delight us!
Oh, and my favorite episode is Werewolf (wharwilf).
