For nearly 1. 1 years, Mystery Science Theater was the little cult show that could: After jumping from Minneapolis- based UHF station KTMA to fledgling network The Comedy Channel (which begat Comedy Central) in the late ’8. Sci- Fi Channel—where the crew of the Satellite Of Love maintained the series’ stellar movie- mocking ways—before being conclusively knocked out of orbit during the summer of 1. Never a hit of Nielsens- shaking proportions, it nonetheless fostered a fervent fandom that helped catch up fresh converts to the MSTie way through online forums and a VHS- trading network that followed an entreaty included in the closing credits of early episodes: “Keep circulating the tapes.”Those tapes kept circulating, thanks to the largely nonlinear structure of the series’ first seven seasons. It simply comes down to selecting the right episodes with which to do so. Though the onscreen talent might change throughout the 1. Gateways To Geekery feature), the premise remains brilliantly, unobtrusively simple: A human host and his robot companions watch and ridicule the worst movies ever made, as sent to them by a team of mad scientists. The specifics about who the host or his captors are or who’s manipulating the robot puppets may come into play, but those are all outweighed by the fact that MST3.

K maintained the same wry, Midwestern, pop- culture- damaged sense of humor throughout its entire run. That consistency made reruns of the series an easily formed late- night or weekend- morning viewing habit; this remains true today, as many of Mystery Science Theater 3. DVD sets—or, in a digital extension of the old tape- trading networks, on You. Tube. Show 2. 02: The Sidehackers (season two, episode two)The show’s producers and writers—known collectively as Best Brains, Inc.—have long kept MST3. K’s UHF output and first Comedy Channel season at arm’s length, treating it like the equivalent of Joel Robinson (series creator Joel Hodgson) and the Bots reciting their high- school poetry. You can watch the show go through its awkward adolescence, or skip right to an episode like The Sidehackers, where gritty bikesploitation fare (padded with violence, love, and endless motorcycle- racing footage—the last of which is ripe for invented nicknames and a one- time- only gag involving an ESPN- style score ticker) is filtered through recurring gags like the Satellite Of Love crew’s insistence at tacking the Patton allusion “You magnificent bastard!” to every mention of the film’s hero, the vengeance- driven Rommel. Show 3. 02: Gamera (season two, episode two)Rekindling a special relationship, the kaiju turtle and “friend of all children” (or, as “TV’s Frank” Conniff puts it, the closest thing MST3.

K has to a recurring guest star) reprises its role following a five- episode run during the KTMA era. As with its fellow country- monster Godzilla, Gamera’s adventures grow increasingly goofy with each entry in the series, and it’s a joy to watch the Brains rise to the challenge of inserting fun into what’s occasionally a serious- minded Cold War allegory starring a rubber monster. That sense of fun doesn’t prevent Joel from taking out his in- theater frustrations on poor Crow T.

Robot’s spindly arms—but it’s hard to blame the guy. After all, he had four more Gamera movies to watch.

Show 3. 06: Time Of The Apes (season three, episode six)The nation of Japan was extremely good to the series—largely thanks to American film distributor Sandy Frank, who dubbed and repackaged the Gamera franchise as well as the time- traveling oddity featured in this episode, a distillation of a 2. Planet Of The Apes. Goony human protagonists and shoddy ape makeup contribute to inspired work outside the theater, as Tom Servo presents the educational film “Why Johnny Doesn’t Care” (prompted by one character’s hostile apathy in the face of simian danger) and Crow gives a fashion report on the flamboyant, militaristic wardrobe sported by the film’s apes (“Halt! Who goes there? Why, it’s Jacques in the timeless Colonel Sanders topcoat.”)Show 4. Teenagers From Outer Space (season four, episode four)“When we return to our planet, the high court may well sentence you to TORTURE!” “TOR- CHA!” Sometimes, a line from a movie screened on the satellite is so clumsily written, ham- fistedly delivered, or just flat- out weird that it becomes a joke in and of itself. The bit of overacted dross above entered the canon of out- of- context MST3. K exclamations like “Hi- Keeba!” and “Rowsdower!” following this episode from the fourth- season glory days, where Joel and the Bots deflect “focusing disintegrators” and killer crustaceans.

The series wasn’t all B- movie invasions and strangely hat- like spacecraft, but sci- fi cheapies like Teenagers From Outer Space make for good introductory viewing—and they’re an entry point to the series’ unique vocabulary, too. Show 5. 12: Mitchell (season five, episode 1. Hodgson’s swan song on the show he created is also one of the series’ finest moments, a tribute to the drier tone of the “Joel era” and the handmade look of MST3. K’s early years. It’s back on solid ground when considering Beginning Of The End, a creature feature starring the late Peter Graves in full- on stentorian- stiff mode.

The episode’s riffs, meanwhile, are a standout example of how MST3. K’s rapid- fire delivery enabled the writers to get incredibly specific while maintaining broad appeal. The show’s Twin Cities base enabled informed jests at the expense of the movie’s Chicago setting (“We’ll order your B- 5. Start with the Shedd Aquarium.”), which are peppered among jokes about the film’s giant- grasshopper menace that anyone can understand. The episode, which comes from the end of the series’ Comedy Central run, also taps into MST3.

K’s status as a stealth crash course in 2. The presence of character actors like Jack Palance, Alan Hale Jr., and Jim Backus provides the excuse for jokes based on the actors’ r. The serialized arcs of season eight helped supply Mike Nelson with a fresh team of antagonists, all of whom are in place to present him with the fractured fairy tale screened here: Dr. Clayton Forrester’s mother, Pearl (Mary Jo Pehl, originally introduced in MST3.

K’s abbreviated seventh season); Planet Of The Apes refugee Bobo (Kevin Murphy, who’d been playing Tom Servo since season two); and the omniscient- yet- bumbling Observer (Bill Corbett, who also stepped into the role of Crow).

The movie itself is a winning introduction to the wild world of the series’ “Russo- Finnish saga,” a colorful, poorly dubbed bouillabaisse of European folklore that induces a hilarious state of whimsy- fatigue in Mike and the Bots. Show 9. 04: Werewolf (season nine, episode four)The series spent so much time mocking the bad films of the not- so- distant past that it often glossed over the fact that the ’5. As if to acknowledge this blind spot, the show’s later seasons specialized in savaging more recently made turkeys like 1. Werewolf. Swift pacing and advances in pyrotechnics technology make Show 9.
