Whatever happened to Mystery Science Theater?

Tip for best answer: M$2.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

While MST3K has been off the air for almost ten years, the alumni are still going strong, and even competing with each other in the riffing arena:

With the knowledge that there are many bad contemporary movies that they could never get the rights to, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) & Bill Corbett (Crow) produce a site called rifftrax.com that provides just the audio of the guys making fun & leave it to you to provide the film. It's a little bit of work, but well worth it to get to see them rag on modern stinkers like Star Trek 5 & Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

On the other front, true to the spirit of the 60s schlock-fest, Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu (Dr Forrester & Crow), J. Elvis Weinstein (the original, short lived Servo), Mary Jo Pehl (Pearl Forrester), & "TV's" Frank Coniff produce CinematicTitanic.com , which has done a few promising direct to dvd releases. The best part of CT to my mind is that they actually tour movie theaters around the country so you can be in the theater with them. They have a tour coming up this summer, so if they're near you, I'd highly recommend checking out the live show:

Atlanta - May 15th and 16th
Alliance Theatre at the Woodruff Arts Center
1280 Peachtree Street NE
Atlanta, GA 30309

Phoenix - May 22nd and 23rd
Mesa Arts Center
One East main Street
Mesa, AZ 85201

Portland - May 29th and 30th
Newmark
1111 SW Broadway
Portland, OR 97205

Dallas - June 5th and 6th
Lakewood Theatre
1825 Abrams Parkway
Dallas, TX 75214

Philly - June 12th and 13th
Tracadera
1003 Arch Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107

...and in answer to your unasked question, there are no tupperware robots, the guys play themselves more or less.

MST3K was cancelled approximately 10 years ago. However, the original crew of MST3K is now doing "Cinematic Titanic" which continues the old MST3K format of movie riffing. (My bf saw them in Austin and said they were hilarious!)

They are still doing live shows around the US as well as DVD sales from their online store: http://www.cinematictitanic.com/

Mystery Science Theater 3000 ended on August 8, 1999 do to a change in management at Comedy Channel. Reruns continued on the Sci Fi Channel until January 31, 2004 when they too canceled the reruns for the same reasons.
