Monday, November 24, 2008. One of my favorite TV shows ever, Mystery Science Theater 3000, made its debut on this day twenty years ago. It first ran on a small independent station, KTMA, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I share a little about the background of the show, as well as how it resonated for me from the moment I first saw it on the Comedy Channel a few years later.

If you are curious, a number of the KTMA episodes of MST3K are available on YouTube -- a search on "MST3K KTMA" will turn them up. For more information about MST3K than you could imagine existed, try the official fan site, Satellite News.

Enjoy!
