I might die of excitement before this whole Kickstarter thing is over. :D The new cast seems great, can't wait to see them all in action!

Patton Oswalt was just announced as the new henchman... "TV's son of TV's Frank"...

Oh man, I have an older friend that is a bit curmudgeon. He's not a fan of Felicia Day (nor Joss Whedon for that matter) and we were talking about the reboot and hoped they didn't get some one like Patton Oswalt either, as he's not a big fan of his either. So he's all "Well, I'm out. No interest in this what so ever anymore." It's hilarious.

I was talking on reddit with folks thinking it was going to be Oswalt. I didn't think he'd take a "second fiddle" role. But hey, I'm totally cool with that.

Although I was kind of hoping the name would be slightly updated like Internet's Son of TV's Frank. But TV's Son of Tv's Frank is good too.

And I realized that the photos on them in the kickstarter banner seem to be their look for the show and Felicia doesn't look too off kilter like I thought a Forrester would look. I mean she looks like she's herself ready for a business meeting. No frizzed out or wacky hair cut, no bright green rimmed glasses, no green lab coat. Maybe they're keeping her look under wraps or are still working on it (as Patton's and Jonah's outfits are rather easy). But she looks more like Joel's assistant than a Mad on the kickstarter banner.

I'm actually more excited about what Patton's gonna bring to the writing of riffs. MST3K at its best was at its best largely because you had a lot of great folks with different interests who were pooling this enormous amount of jokes.

I hadn't heard of Ray or Day before they were announced, but Oswalt is pretty huge in my book. He's a known fan (he hosted the MST reunion panel at SDCC a few years ago) and should fit right in.

I just thought of another good reason to bring this back. I was just trying to describe MST to a co-worker who is 24 and has never even heard of it. I mean I'd imagine he would have at least heard of it from older relatives as he is a sci-fi enthusiast..... but no, and of course even my best description cannot do it justice

So the guys behind Rick and Morty will be among those writing for the show. Holy crap, I wasn't expecting that. This just a bit more interesting.

Well, looks like the 4.4M goal was surpassed about an hour ago. so we will at least see 9 new episodes. Initially I was skeptical they would get the 5.5M, but now anything is possible with a little over 30 hours to go. I figure most really good kick starters start off strong, then fizzle out in the middle (as did this one), but there appears to be a strong finish coming, they might actually get the 5.5M, the next 30 hours should prove interesting.

Now my question is what happens if they get like 5.4 million. Is it just like tough "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" you get 9 episodes? Or could they squeeze out to 10-11 episodes?

Jeez, Pendleton Ward (creator Adventure Time) will be doing some animation for the new show, Rebecca Sugar (creator of Steven Universe) is designing something, Steven Sugar (brother of Rebecca, and Steven Universe background artist) is working on the design for the S.O.L. interior and the Mad's lair, Guy Davis (B.P.R.D.) is doing something, Adam Savage (Mythbusters) will be handling some practical effects... this is insane!

Welp, finally got off my butt and am officially a backer. Can't wait to get my swag in a few months!

I feel like every pop culture thing I love has come back or is in the process of coming back. What else is left?

Including add-ons, we've already reached the 5.5 million necessary for 12 episodes!

... and now Joel says that if we get to a combined total of 5.9 million it'll pay for a 13th episode: a Christmas special!

I sure hope this gets picked up. I think a cult channel like El Ray would probably get the most mileage out of this show. Or at least Hulu/Netflix/Amazon etc

The telethon is a technical nightmare, but Patton thrives in this adverse environment and has effectively taken over the broadcast in between old MST3K clips.

$6,000,000 (5.5M+ kickstarter and $500K backer) made so far! So we got all 12 episodes and a Christmas special.

It's a done deal. There will be 13 new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in the year 2016. How crazy is that?

WE DID IT!!! What a glorious time to be a MSTie. I was worried we'd only get 9-10 episodes a few days ago, and now FOURTEEN!? Joel pulled this off in style! :D

I couldn't contribute much, but contribute I did.

But man, several people on Facebook were REALLY upset at the thought of Jerry Seinfeld having a cameo. I thought people who stopped watching when Joel left and Mike took over were bad, but geez.
