Title: Bring Back MST3K (Kickstarter)
Post by: Mr. Analog on November 10, 2015, 01:04:03 PM
Joel and the bots are stuck in the TV LIMBO dimension! Not Alive, not Dead but maybe, just maybe with a few dollars scraped from the darkest couch corners of the internet they can come back!

MST3K is an important show for me, when I'm at my worst there's nothing better than putting on a few episodes and just zoning out and laughing

they got my $$$

While not a huge fan myself I hope they make it as I know it is popular and fun for a lot of people.

My hope is they get funded to the point where some network or online provider like Netflix sees the value

Yeah that's my worry with Con Man as they only distributed through vimeo at this point. And they funded quite high.

Some of the higher levels include DRM free digital download

The motto of the series is "keep circulating the tapes" so I expect it will be DRM friendly for the most part

They're almost at the $1.5 million mark already! Nearly at their goal after a couple days!

Bit OT, but there's going to be an auction for a Tom Servo replica (made from the same components the original was made from), signed by MST3K peeps on the Desert Bus marathon.

It went for $3410 to some guy named mikey at Gearbox. :o

First stretch goal is achieved!

In other news there are going to be multiple hosts, a different person in the jumpsuit for different episodes. That means we get both Emily and Jonah and maybe even Joel himself!
Apparently they've reached out to the Rifftrax guys too

I'm excited
