Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K)

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody remember this comedy show that aired from 1988-99? I sure do. It riffs off cheesy movies that are in the public domain, in case you are wondering what the show's about.

Even though I saw little of it in its original run, thanks to DVDs and the internet, I am enjoying the series.

Great show, and it's still on. They do new episodes through Netflix now.

My favorite episode, which is from the old run, is "Mitchell."

They have the old series on netflix to I am pretty sure, but yeah I couldn't stop laughing on one of the new episodes where they did a movie called beast of some mountain or whatever there was that parade with these weird masks and hats...so then in one of the cut scenes the robots dressed in those costumes and just kept parading around while not saying anything to where Jonah was freaking out and saying' hey, you guys are scaring me then of course movie came back on....>But that was seriously one of the most hysterical things ever to me. I just want to find a clip of that on youtube and save it so I can watch it whenever I need to laugh.


Not sure if you saw that one, but I literally could not stop laughing for like 10 minutes due to that part. Funnily enough before that scene I was kind of thinking it would be really funny if they did something to do with that and sure enough that is what happened.

LOl just noticed the title modification, I suppose MST3K is the appropriate abbreveiation....but I suck at remembering these sorts of abbreviations I mean it took me at least 3 years to figure out LOTR is (lord of the rings). Speaking of which I found a store where I can get the two towers and return of the king extended versions...I already have the first one becauseIwas lucky enough I found the extended version with even the middle earth map it came with intact at a goodwill for like 10 dollars. It was almost as great as the time I found a very well taken care of copy of Pink Floyds album, The Wall for 11 dollars at some record shop.

Sometimes I wonder if the 11.00 price was meant as a reference to the part of spinal tap where a character shows off his amp that goes to 11. either way it was worth the 12 dollars it actually ended up being I mean hell I would have paid 20 or more for that. Basically a Vinyl album with all the original artwork and no scratches...like they could have easily sold that for 30 or more but they just happened to have it on sale for 11.00 so no way in hell I could pas it up.

I've been watching MST3K on both the internet and the DVD sets they've released. Makes for great viewing, IMO.

I enjoy MST3K, old and new. I also enjoy RiffTrax, The Film Crew, and Cinema Titanic. They're all made by the MST3K group(s).

Netflix has a selection of the original MST3K, and MST3K: The Return. MST3K also shows on the COMET network Sunday evening, or streaming on the COMET website. They tend to repeat.

That's my favorite show! You can find it on YouTube and some cable networks still air reruns.

^ The Comet over-the-air network airs MST3K eps on Sunday nights.

Club MST3K has almost the whole collection online and links to outside sites. There’s a chat room and they have a time where everyone watches the same episode. There is a lot of Rifftrax on amazon prime. Netflix occasionally has the old shows and Hulu has a small collection too.

I also do enjoy Rifftrax as well.
