‘MST3k’ needs Kickstarter cash to make its comeback
If there’s a much-loved but commercially unsuccessful TV show with enough of a fanbase, then someone’s probably tried to resurrect it on Kickstarter. Now, following in the success of Veronica Mars and Thunderbirds 1965, Joel Hodgson is going to use the platform to bring back Mystery Science Theater 3000. He’s looking to raise anything up to $5.5 million in the hope of producing a whole new season of 12 episodes mocking classic movies. It’s hoped that, after demonstrating that there’s enough of an audience out there, a cable channel or online service will help bankroll future episodes after that.
