'MST3K' Gang Will Return to Television with a 'RiffTrax' Show on the National Geographic Channel

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 gang is making a return to television but probably not on the channel you're expecting. According to Zap2it, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett, are turning their online audio track series RiffTrax into a TV show of the same name for National Geographic, with three episodes set to air April 1st. MST3K was canceled by Syfy in 1999, but RiffTrax has since gained an internet following for releasing ready-made MST3K-style audio tracks for fans to listen to while watching the movies

I LOVE MST3K so I will definitely check this out.

Ya this is great. Even though they are using the name Rifftrax it's good they are bringing back the robots.

I hope now with more money, they will get more writers etc. Rifftrax is better with bad movies, rather then the good blockbusters they were trying at first. As time went on they kinda went back to "bad" movies.

This is certainly awesome, but I don't think Mike Nelson is going to be joined by his robot pals.

I keep meaning to watch MST3K but I can never get around to it.

According to Zap2It the MST3K revival will actually air under the RiffTrax name, but Murphy will be reprising his role as Tom Servo and Corbett will be playing Crow T. Robot. Whether this means that the full show format will return – complete with their silhouettes projected onto the screen and the comedy skits in between – remains to be seen, but the riffing subject will apparently be some kind of TV programming.

It's a possibility it seems.
