MST3K Fading Away
In her
Test Pattern weblog, Gael reports that repeats of 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' on the SciFi Channel will end in January. Here's the
readers' responses. Now the push is on for Comedy Central bring back its own MST3K episodes. It's a noble effort, but I doubt it'll produce results. Comedy Central and SciFi are in a different position now than in the mid '90s - in their attempts to reach broader audiences, there's no longer room for quirky, cultish shows like MST3K. A better bet would be appealing to a funky, upstart network like
Trio to air the Comedy Central repeats. Now
that would be awesome.
