3 Mystery Science Theater 3000
The home for bad movies and hilarious commentary
MST3K
Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of TV’s most unlikely success stories. Premiering on local Minneapolis television in 1988, the long-running series broadcast old B-movies of, shall we say, questionable quality, with hilarious color commentary by Joel Hodgson and his robot pals Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, and Gypsy. In many cases, the best loved versions of old B-movies are the ones featuring jokey commentary from the MST3K crew. Tubi’s Mystery Science Theater 3000 channel serves up a constant stream of episodes from across the show’s history, for movie fans looking for a good laugh.
