I First heard of this show on comedy central thinking this would be a very strange tv show.
The plot is that in the year 3000 space aliens find a stash of old 1950's and younger films so basically the whole show is well you watch the film with the aliens in the background commenting on the film.
I later found clips of the show and to my suprise it was the funniest thing I had ever seen, their comments were so funny I had to cut the clip short so that I could breathe.
so I just wanted to know if anyone had heard of the show and had any comments?
if anyone wants to see the clips the adderss is

My cousin turned me onto the show about eight years ago. I thought it was incredibly HI-larious.
I was just thinking about it the other day, actually. I miss it.

"Finally" after 15 minutes?
Impatient, I think. 
Anyway, I watched this show religiously in the early 1990's. There were quite a few episodes, some of which are available on DVD.

I *love* MST. Unfortunately, I was late to the game, seeing it in the later season reruns on Sci Fi - but have since borrowed many tapes from a friend of the Comedy Central era. Can't get enough.
Sorry to say, but you got the premise totally wrong. Not the year 3000. No aliens. And not all the movies are from the 50s either. ;)
All together now : In the not too distant future, next Sunday AD, there was a guy named Joel*, not too different from you or me. He worked at Gizmonic Institute, just another face in a red jumpsuit. He did a good job cleaning up the place, but his bosses didn't like him so they shot him into space! We'll send him cheesy movies, the worst we can find. He'll have to sit and watch them all and we'll monitor his mind. Now keep in mind Joel can't control where the movies begin or end. Because he used those special parts to make his robot friends. Robot roll call: Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, Croooow. If you're wondering how he eats or breathes, or other science facts: then repeat to yourself it's just a show, I should realy just relax - for Mystery Science Theater 3000!!

of course! do not forget about mike nelson and his robot pals. you know, the ones caught in an endless chase, pursued by a woman whose name is pearl, an evil gal who wants to rule the world? i heard she put a few things in her purse and in her rocket ship she hunts them all across the universe.

I've loved MST3K for many years now... I was upset when it moved to Sci-Fi because I didn't GET Sci-Fi (and still didn't until I moved here last summer. Oh, the stuff I've missed... and the stuff I'm glad I've missed).
Anyway, there's a fair number of episodes available on DVD, but unfortunately due to the way rights work we will never see a complete set. Luckily some of the best episodes (including "Manos, the Hands of Fate") are available. (I also recommend "Mitchell" and "Cave Dwellers").
Let's not forget the movie, either :).

I didn't watch it until it was on the Sci-Fi channel, but I loved the show. Too bad they cancelled it :( I think my favorite episode is the one with the bees.
Keep shiny!
