Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans set your DVR's for April 1st
‘Mystery Science Theater 3000? Team to Host New TV Riffing Miniseries
After being off TV screens for almost 15 years, however, the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew are making a three-episode comeback… on National Geographic. RiffTrax will air on National Geographic on April 1, 2014.
In the not-too-distant future (next Sunday A.D.), there was a guy named Joel, not too different from you or me. He worked at Gizmonic Institute, just another face in a red jumpsuit. He did a good job cleaning up the place, but his bosses didn’t like him so they shot him into space.
That’s pretty much all the set-up you need to know for Mystery Science Theater 3000, which popularized the still-popular trend of comedic riffing. The show’s host, with the help of his robot pals, would watch old and forgotten B-movies and gently (or harshly) mock them and parody them in short skits. The sets were wobbly, the props were cheap and the robots weren’t created using state-of-the-art CGI, but Mystery Science Theater 3000 is still fondly remembered by fans to this day.

but never liked Mike. Joel was my favorite. Was hoping it would be him when I clicked on this. I'll have to at least check out one episode to see what I think. Thanks for sharing!
