MYSTERY
SCIENCE THEATER 3000 Home Entertainment Series
The Mystery
Science Theater 3000 series was created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best
Brains, Inc. After a year on KTMA TV in Minneapolis,
its national broadcast life began in 1989 on the Comedy Channel (later to
become Comedy Central), where it ran for seven seasons. The show’s final
three seasons aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. The premise of the series
features a hapless man who is trapped by mad scientists on a satellite in space
and forced to watch old B-movies of questionable worth. To keep sane,
he’s built two robot sidekicks, and together they do a running commentary
on the films, affectionately mocking their flaws with inspired wisecracks and
acting as a demented movie theater peanut gallery. Series creator Hodgson
originally played the stranded man, Joel Robinson. When he left in 1993,
series head writer Mike Nelson replaced him as the 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. (Select
