  • Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3K) was an American comedy series that aired from 1988 to 1999. It was created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best Brains, Inc. The cast of Cinematic Titanic all played major characters on MST3K at various stages in the show's development. The series features a man and his robot sidekicks who are trapped on a satellite in space and forced to watch a selection of terrible movies, especially (but not initially limited to) science fiction films. The premise of the show is that the man and his robots make a running commentary on the film, making fun of its flaws and wisecracking their way through the film in the style of a movie theater peanut gallery. Series creator Hodgson originally played the stranded man, Joel Robinson. When he left in 1993, series head writer Michael J. Nelson replaced him as new B-movie victim Mike Nelson, and continued in the role for the rest of the show's run. The format proved to be popular. During its eleven years and 198 episodes (including one feature film), MST3K attained a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. The series won a Peabody Award in 1993, and was nominated for writing Emmys in 1994 and 1995.

To keep himself entertained and sane, Joel Both of which I failed at. he enlisted the help of his two robot buddies, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, that he had previously built for his 8th grade science fair. Together, they would watch these bad movies (mostly including, but not limited to, bad sci-fi movies) and provide a mocking commentary running over it. In addition to raising public awareness of crappy movies, the Brains' experiment was also used to identify the most intelligent people in the world by seeing who understood the most obscure details about things that nobody cared about. Crow "Most obscure details about things that nobody cared about"? This joke is much too obscure for me. I give up. Often, people who didn't know what they were watching would often go insane because they had no idea where the commentary voices came from. After the 89th case of this, the hosts put silhouettes of themselves on the bottom of the screen. In season five, Hodgson escaped the spacecraft in a box of Hamdingers and landed in the Australian Outback. His parting words to his robots were a quote from The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. Series head writer Mike Nelson then replaced him as the destroyer of worlds, and continued in the role for the rest of the show's run. Tom Servo "Later, the cast was eaten by giant, fanged hams and the crew imploded, ending the series forever." The results of this experiment were monitored by the Brains who sold the data to the programmers of cable TV stations such as TNT and TBS, which led to the creation of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. During its original run, MST3K attained critical acclaim, winning two Torgo Awards and being nominated for a Cherokee Jack Award. Crow I'm Cherokee Jack. The MST3K method of weeding out smart people from the rest has also been applied to other media such as fan fiction and interactive fiction, which is also plentiful with crap.

  • Mystery Science Theater 3000, often abbreviated MST3K, is an American cult television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best Brains, Inc. The show ran from 24 November 1988 to 8 August 1999. The series' loosely-defined plot serves chiefly as a pretext for the movie commentary and the comic sketches, known as "host segments," which appear throughout each episode. The series features a janitor, Joel Robinson (Joel Hodgson), trapped on a space station by a mad scientist, Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu), who force him to watch horrible B-moviesin order to measure how much bad-movie-watching it takes to drive a person crazy. Forrester intends to find a movie so bad that he can unleash it on an unsuspecting populace and turn everyone into mindless zombie slaves. To keep sane, Robinson builds four sentient robots for company. Together, they provide a running commentary on each film, making fun of its flaws and wisecracking (or "riffing") their way through each reel in the style of a movie-theater peanut gallery. Each film is presented with a superimposition of the man and robots' silhouettes along the bottom of the screen. Several times during each movie (about every half-hour when shown with commercials), they perform skits, songs, or other short sketch pieces (called "host segments") that are usually related to the movie they are watching. The first season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 was on the Minneapolis-St. Paul television station KTMA. The show was then picked up by The Comedy Channel, a new country-wide cable channel (later renamed Comedy Central) and remained there until 1996.
