love how the writers were pushed into characters.. and all based on the premise of riffing on movies, a concept that had limitless possibilities. hard to have writers block when the movies are providing your material. brilliant.
An interesting if superficial retrospective of a unique TV show. The really juicy story is what happened around Joel's departure from the show in 1993. That story has yet to be fully written.
Some MST3K trivia; during his first year as Tom Servo, Kevin received a banner from a fan which read "I Hate Tom Servo's New Voice". This banner was hung proudly in Kevin's cubicle at Best Brains. Source; The MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide.
When I was growing up I was the only one of my mates that actually watch Mst3k. After a night of clubbing it used to Be on at 3am Sunday mornings. Can't believe how much it's part of pop culture now
Many comments were from years ago, but after becoming a MISTIE a few years ago (I missed the original TV shows), this was the first time I saw Jim Mallon give a little input. I'm glad I saw this. A great show!
I was watching this and for some reason, I busted out laughing for like 5 minutes straight when that Jimmy JJ Walker part came up. Holy hell that killed me.
This looks like a re-branding/re-ordering of MST3K Vol 28's extras. This was originally titled Return to Eden Prairie Part 3 - The Characters. Parts 1 & 2 were The Cast and The Locations, respectively. So, if you're having trouble getting the shoutfactorytv links to work for the other two parts, and are jonesin' real bad to see 'em, either pick up the box set or check your local library.
I actually thought that Professor Bobo was originally from The Season Three Experiment The Time of The Apes. Especially that Bobo bared a pretty strong resemblance to those characters.
Lukas Sprehn I've always thought Crow was childlike too, he asks such innocent and naive questions like children do; it's like they're written with sarcasm but Trace delivers them so genuinely you can't be mad 💖
I love MST3K, and love both the Joel and Mike episodes. The only sad thing is my perception that Joel, Trace et al. don't get along with Mike and Bill. I don't know if that is a real thing or a myth perpetuated by fans, but it still makes me sad. I also thought it was a little weird that the MST3K kickstarter wasn't somehow related to the Rifftrax site, since Rifftrax is so clearly based on MST3K. In my head Rifftrax is a direct descendant and the most successful MST3K-like venture by any of the folks who worked on the original. Maybe it's a legal thing, and not just a personality conflict? That there was no Mike or Bill interviews in this video makes me sad.
+TaiChiKnees My impression is that at times there has been more or less tension, like a rock band, or any work environment really. I love Rifftrax, particularly the live shows! But Cinematic Titanic--Joel's group with Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff and Mary Jo Pehl--was just as funny and just as much a successor to MST3K. In the film clips on the Kickstarter, Joel explained that the MST3K rights were tied up in court for a long time, it wasn't between them it was with the channel or something, one big reason that hadn't tried any kind of re-boot until now. But now that's all fixed, and it's obvious they are sharing the rights because Rifftrax started showing old MST3Ks on their website. Joel broke up Cinematic Titanic (at the time I didn't know why but I suppose he was starting to work on the new MST3K), and Mary Jo Pehl is working at Rifftrax now, so clearly no bad feelings there. I've also seen members of the two groups tweet to each other and the like. When the Kickstarter showed up, Mike posted on Facebook, after clearly being badgered relentlessly with questions, that Rifftrax was his baby while on MST3K he had been a hired hand, and he was happy for them but he wasn't involved. (I'm sure I didn't paraphrase that perfectly, but the update is way too old to find on Facebook at this point.) Later Joel, who of course was bombarded with questions as well, posted a video clip update on Kickstarter saying anyone could come back as creative talent if they wanted to. He posted a longer answer, this was from only a few days after the Kickstarter started so he had no idea they'd get all the funding - "Question #2: What about everyone else? Are the other MST3K writers and actors coming back? This is the hardest question to answer, because there are several moving pieces involved. Right now, I don't know who will agree to come back and work on the next season of MST3K… but if the Kickstarter is successful, everyone will be invited to take part. Until yesterday, I wasn't even sure this whole Kickstarter idea would work. I've reached out and spoken with some of the old cast and writers, but until I knew how much money we'd have to work with - and when we'd start writing and shooting - there was just no way to make the specific offers that I hope will bring many of them back. Plus - as many of you know - so far, the old cast haven't been compensated as well as they (or I) might have liked. I wish I could go back and fix that, but if I'm going to ask them to participate in the next season, I want to be certain we can pay them what they deserve this time. As soon as we pass our initial goal of $2,000,000, I'm hoping to start making the invitations official, and I hope some of them will be able to join us before we start working in January. But there's another thing I should say here: As much as I love the old seasons, we're not just trying to make an "MST3K reunion episode." Even if we do get our entire old cast and staff to come help out, I think it's important - essential- that we bring in new talent to keep the show fresh, and to help it evolve. To do that, it's important that we bring in the next Host, the next Mad, and the next robot voices. And if everything goes well, there'll be a dozen more after them... At the same time, I'd love to work with the entire old team again. Mystery Science Theater 3000 became the show you know and love because our writers and actors were - and are - some of the smartest, funniest people I've ever worked with. If they have time to come back for the next season, I'll be so excited to work with them again. But even if everyone comes back, we'll never be able to reproduce the magic of how those old episodes feel to you. No one ever could. People usually think that the “best year in music” was they year they turned eighteen. In the same way, the “best year of MST3K" - for you - will probably always be the year you turned 13, or 16, or 18, and your parents finally sprung for the good cable package. To misquote Rick James, nostalgia is a helluva drug. We can't compete with your memories, and it would be kind of silly to try. But we can try to make something that today's kids (and adults!) can discover, that will give them the same feeling you once had. And hopefully give you long-time fans something new to enjoy, too. That's the goal, anyway." So I don't think it's as dire as you may think, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did a few cameos and such to make the fans happy. I am very excited for the new MST3K, I think Felicia Day and Patton Oswald will be great, and I know the writing will be great like every other project any of the old MST3K crew has done.
I know what you are talking about, but I don't think that is the case. iirc it was Jim Mallon and Joel who didn't get along and Jim was the reason Joel left the show. I think Joel, Bill, and Mike all get along and are probably friends.
Yeah Jim Mallon is basically the reason for any drama. Everyone has had some kinda bad history with the guy. Trace left the show cause when they switch to Sci-Fi he found out that Mallon had creative control rights on Forrester and Crow. and I think I heard an interview with Mike where he said he doesnt gets any royalties cause of Mallon.
When they did the kickstarter for the new show, I knew they had to move on and cast new people and make it it's own thing. But, I really did hope that Beez (maybe as Stephie, maybe not) would be the new mad scientist.
A reason for the lack of Mike et all. interviews is probably that they were really upset with how royalties and payments were handled for past episodes. To make a long story short, they basically received NO money for the Shout Factory DVDs and rebroadcasting. Only recently have things changed and now they're able to release episodes on RiffTrax to make some money, but it was less to do with Mike/Joel rivalry (which is more a fan thing) than simple business complaints about payments and mismanagement. Don't blame Joel or Mike, blame Best Brains, Shout Factory, and Jim Mallon.
I didint know the plastic guy, (sorry Fluoroelastomer guy, don't want to be racist) from the Duracell commercials was still acting. Good to see him host a thing for MST3K. His hair looks as molded as ever.
This revolutionary TV show set the example for other SCIFI shows. For example, Bender of Futurama looks like he was inspired by Crow. Love this series, or not. it is entertaining. I love this series.
Pretty awesome overall but I'm curious why Mike, Bill and Frank weren't included with the interviews. Also, they skimmed past Joel, Frank and Trace leaving the show as well as the drama with Jim Mallon, Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel... They didn't even mention there was a movie! I'm only a bit disappointed as these events really shaped the evolution of the show as well as new projects after the cancelation of MST3K. MST3K is still my favorite show ever! I just was expecting a more thorough look back at the history of the show.
TBH, I think they the reason why Joel and Trace left, as to not rub salt into the wounds. I think Frank left because he didn't like how the series was made post-KTMA.
Frank was NOT at KTMA... He joined MST3k AFTER it started at Comedy Central. He was there second season through the sixth as a writer and actor. I frankly think (no pun intended) the show was better with him as one of the Mads. The chemistry was NEVER the same after he left. The show survived well enough after Joel left and they transitioned to Mike but I do think the combination of Frank and Trace as the Mads made a HUGE difference to the show. There's no as many people who prefer the "Pearl years" over previous seasons and very few people who think the first year at either KTMA or Comedy Central was the best. There were a number of guys who joined AFTER that first year at KTMA. Kevin Murphy was one of the few who was there FROM THE BEGINNING to the end. A lot of the other guys came on AFTER the show was picked up by Comedy Central -- that would be most of the people who actually wrote for the show because they were actually getting paid salaries after the pick-up by Comedy Central.
Oh my gosh. They sound just like they do on the show! "Tom" Servo just has a deeper voice than the man who plays him, and Crow just has a goofier voice than the man who plays him.
LOVE MST3K!, Especially the "Classic" line-up [Joel & Mike (they're a draw, as far as I'm concerned), Trace, Kevin & TV's Frank], but for me, Trace & TV's Frank made the show and when they left, things went down hill (Sorry)
This is genuinely despressing. You know... Like... Because they all seem to be so random, so outta-nowhere guys who just *happened to step in and be the absolute best possible picks for the characters they formed* ? All while being so good I can easily see them fill in the roles of the most mainstream comedy stars of the big Hollywood pictures ? For example - tell me you *DON'T* see Kevin Murphy doing as good a job in an animated feature movie as, say, Robin Williams did with Genie in "Aladdin". I'm pretty rock solid-sure that if you are well-informed enough about his vocal talent you would not be able to disagree. It's weird as hell !
I just wanna punch Sci-Fi's lights out for having Mystery Science Theater 3000 being cancelled for a third time. If it was South Park even though that's not science fiction, I bet that they would continue to let it be on their network for life😡
Um, yeah, almost Soviet Russia level of revisionist history. Josh did not "decide to leave." Mallon is an egomaniacal Dunning-Kruger idiot who wanted to change the show in stupider and stupider ways, and it became impossible for Josh to stay. Watch those early episodes, especially the KTMA ones, to see Josh's word play, structured comedy, you know, all those things that are "too smarty" for someone with Mallon's limited intelligence to understand. This eventually became so bad that even Joel couldn't work within that environment. So Trace, Frank, Mike, and the other idiot had no problem dumbing it down to poop jokes, laughing at that own jokes, stupid mouth noises. Their riffing is usually passibly OK, but the host segments are just sheer torture to watch. Bill came on after Trace left, and he was able to turn things around to some regard. I think Jim was having less interest in the show by then, so Bill could get rid of some of the potty humor and make the riffing passable again.
This looks like a re-branding/re-ordering of MST3K Vol 28's extras. This was originally titled Return to Eden Prairie Part 3 - The Characters. Parts 1 & 2 were The Cast and The Locations, respectively. So, if you're having trouble getting the shoutfactorytv links to work for the other two parts, and are jonesin' real bad to see 'em, either pick up the box set or check your local library.
I still watch this accouple times a year, I am very sentimental regarding this show.
I love how Mike was literally the “Everyone Else”
And he handled it very well 🙂
Best Brains is the only way to describe this group of talented writers and actors
love how the writers were pushed into characters.. and all based on the premise of riffing on movies, a concept that had limitless possibilities. hard to have writers block when the movies are providing your material. brilliant.

MST3K got me through a lot of really crappy times and I'm forever grateful for the show. Thanks :)

@@suzycreamcheesez4371 yes thats exactly what he meant when said mates. Some europeans refer to their friends as mates.
This woulda been absolutely perfect background viewing after a night out.
Many comments were from years ago, but after becoming a MISTIE a few years ago (I missed the original TV shows), this was the first time I saw Jim Mallon give a little input. I'm glad I saw this. A great show!
Holy shit! Amazing! I never thought we'd have things like more MST3K and documentary footage on the internet when I was watching the show as a kid.
I could watch 3000 hours of this alone. thank you!!!
Simply put: this was awesome - thank you.
Kind of fitting that Joel wanted Trace to voice Crow as the Robot in Lost In Space because he looked a lot like Billy Mummy at the time.
THAT WAS REALLY GOOD, I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH I MISSED AND I THOUGHT I SAW THEM ALL.
I was watching this and for some reason, I busted out laughing for like 5 minutes straight when that Jimmy JJ Walker part came up.
Holy hell that killed me.
if I died right now I would die happy and be at peace knowing I got to spend my last hours watching this show 👍💖💖💕💗💕❣❣
: ) seeing this made me happy.
Bravo! What a great look back.
thanks to this I finally know how they did the cinema scenes...D: *Mind = Blown*
Isn't it interesting how they grabbed crew members as extras, and they have better acting chops than most TV stars?
It truly is absolutely mind-boggling... O.O
Is it just that back in the day there were higher standards in entertainment or something ?

I feel like they glossed over Mary Jo, especially in her role as Pearl and its characterization, but otherwise it was a great documentary.
Bill Corbett didn't get anywhere near the amount of recognition he deserved, either.
Joel's genetically engineered cotton candy prop (Ow! You're biting me!) is genius.
I actually thought that Professor Bobo was originally from The Season Three Experiment The Time of The Apes. Especially that Bobo bared a pretty strong resemblance to those characters.
It's funny and kind of odd to see how Joel seems Crow as the childlike robot and Kevin thinks Tom Servo is the childlike one.
Lukas Sprehn I've always thought Crow was childlike too, he asks such innocent and naive questions like children do; it's like they're written with sarcasm but Trace delivers them so genuinely you can't be mad 💖
My fave invention: electric bagpipe!
Dear Shout! Factory, any chance you can acquire the rights to the MST3K Scrapbook? That would be an awesome 30th anniversary DVD bonus feature. :)
Man, all these super bright full screen flashes is an epilepsy risk.

Was it Jim Mallon who had the MST3K show rights tied up? (Until recently when Joel started working on the new show.)
"We'd turn down the sound and say rude things." - definition of riffing by George Harrison in "A Hard Day's Night" (1964).

Isn't it sad that the best quality KTMA footage we'll ever get is a part of a 32 min special feature?

21:05 -- Torgo The White is uncomfortably close to Jack Perkins The Normal.
This revolutionary TV show set the example for other SCIFI shows. For example, Bender of Futurama looks like he was inspired by Crow. Love this series, or not. it is entertaining. I love this series.
I wonder if the new mst3k will use real theater seats.
I was hoping they'd mention Phantom of Krankor in that last segment.
I wonder if they were going for a sort of Peter Pan thing with Mr. B Natural (the original short), and that's why he was played by a woman.
Mike was definitely a better Torgo than Torgo.
Holly hair helmet, Conan!

What an abrupt ending!
Not a satisfying ending. It feels more like, "Okay we're gonna run out of tape so we have to stop."
So where are Parts 2 & 3? The links don’t work..
Very well done! Tacking on an introductory standup wasn't necessary, though. :)
Mike was Steve Reeves, still a legendary performance.
Both of the links to the other parts say this video is not available on my device. Is there any way to watch them?

Yeah, Joel's a pretty cool guy; he's got good taste in music, too... (I mean, Prince? What's not to line? ^_^)
Or like actually... teaches me to comment on low sleep.

Two people who don't understand great comedy.
Beez fine. 😍
At 32 minutes, this video is too short.
I hope they've earned enough to afford a decent Mic. The ADR is ironically worse than many mst3k films.

Mallon is an egomaniacal Dunning-Kruger idiot who wanted to change the show in stupider and stupider ways, and it became impossible for Josh to stay. Watch those early episodes, especially the KTMA ones, to see Josh's word play, structured comedy, you know, all those things that are "too smarty" for someone with Mallon's limited intelligence to understand. This eventually became so bad that even Joel couldn't work within that environment. So Trace, Frank, Mike, and the other idiot had no problem dumbing it down to poop jokes, laughing at that own jokes, stupid mouth noises. Their riffing is usually passibly OK, but the host segments are just sheer torture to watch. Bill came on after Trace left, and he was able to turn things around to some regard. I think Jim was having less interest in the show by then, so Bill could get rid of some of the potty humor and make the riffing passable again.
This looks like a re-branding/re-ordering of MST3K Vol 28's extras. This was originally titled Return to Eden Prairie Part 3 - The Characters. Parts 1 & 2 were The Cast and The Locations, respectively. So, if you're having trouble getting the shoutfactorytv links to work for the other two parts, and are jonesin' real bad to see 'em, either pick up the box set or check your local library.
