K is an American television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Alternaversal Productions, LLC. The show premiered on KTMA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 2. It later aired on The Comedy ChannelComedy Central for seven seasons until its cancellation in 1. Thereafter, it was picked up by The Sci Fi Channel and aired for three seasons until another cancellation in August 1. A sixty episode syndication package titled The Mystery Science Theater Hour was produced in 1. In 2. 01. 5, Hodgson led a crowdfunded revival of the series with 1. Netflix on April 1. To date, 2. 11 episodes and a feature film have been produced. The show initially starred Hodgson as Joel Robinson, a janitor trapped against his will by two mad scientists on the Satellite of Love and forced to watch a series of B movies as a part of the scientists plot to take over the world. To keep his sanity, Joel crafts a number of robot companionsincluding Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, and Gypsyto keep him company and help him humorously comment on each movie as it plays, a process known as riffing. Each two hour episode would feature a single movie in its entirety along with associated public domain films, with Joel, Tom, and Crow watching in silhouette from a row of theater seats at the bottom of the screen. These scenes were framed with interstitial sketches. The shows cast changed over its duration most notably, the character of Joel was replaced by Mike Nelson played by Michael J. Nelson in the shows fifth season. Other cast members, most of whom were also writers for the show, include Trace Beaulieu, Josh Weinstein, Jim Mallon, Kevin Murphy, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl, Bill Corbett, Paul Chaplin, and Bridget Jones Nelson. The revival features a primarily new cast, including Jonah Ray as the new human test subject, along with Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt. MST3. Ks original run did not garner high viewership numbers, but the shows popularity spread through word of mouth over the Internet from its fans known as MSTies or Mysties, frequent repeats and syndication, and home media offerings produced by Rhino Entertainment and currently Shout Factory, who along with Hodgson now own the rights to the show and supported the revived series. MST3. K was listed as one of Time magazines 1. Best TV Shows of All TIME in 2. TV Guide has noted MST3. K as one of the top cult television shows. The show won a Peabody Award in 1. Emmy Awards in 1. Cable. ACE Award from 1. The show was considered highly influential, contributing towards the practice of social television, and former cast members launched similar projects based on the riffing of films, including Riff. Trax ongoing as of 2. Cinematic Titanic. MST3. K also brought to light several older movies that had not received public attention and were subsequently identified as some of the worst movies ever made, most notably Manos The Hands of Fate. PremiseeditWhile the cast of MST3. K has changed throughout its history, the premise of the show remains relatively unchanged a human test subjectfirst Joel Robinson Joel Hodgson, then Mike Nelson Michael J. Nelson, and most recently Jonah Heston Jonah Rayhas been imprisoned aboard the spacecraft Satellite of Love by mad scientists and their henchmen collectively called the Mads and is forced to watch a series of bad movies in order to find one that will drive the test subject insane. To keep his sanity, Joel built himself a series of sentient robots the bots from parts aboard the Satellite, and who subsequently remain aboard with the other test subjects. The bots include Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, Gypsy who is in charge of running the satellites operations and Cambot, the silent recorder of the experiments. Crow and Servo join the human as they watch the film in the Satellites theater, and to keep from going mad, the trio frequently comment and wisecrack atop it, a process known as riffing. At regular intervals throughout the movie, the hosts leave the theater and return to the bridge of the Satellite to perform sketches host segments that satirize the film being watched. The general format of an MST3. K episode has remained the same throughout the series run. Episodes are approximately 9. Mads before being sent the movie. During Joel Hodgson and Jonah Rays tenures as hosts and for a brief period at the start of the Mike Nelson era, the hosts and the Mads engage in an invention exchange in which they each show off their latest inventions. Sirens and flashing lights Movie Sign then signal the characters to enter the theater. In the theater, the human host and bots Tom and Crow sit in a row of theater seats, shown in silhouette along the bottom of the screen, an approach Hodgson called Shadowrama. The three then riff on the film which is sometimes accompanied by one or more shorts as it plays for both them and the audience. Occasionally the silhouette format is used as a source of humor or as a means of creating unobtrusive censor bars for scenes containing nudity. The show transitions into and out of the theater via a door sequence, a series of six doors that open or close as the camera ostensibly Cambot passes through them.
