Saving MST3K

AMK writes "You'll probably all remember the late February announcement that the upcoming season of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" will be its last. Some recent news: this Wired article talks about the mounting fan campaigns to save MST3K from cancellation. Time to use the /. effect for good instead of evil, so write some polite letters of support, and increase the ratings by recruiting more people to watch the show. " I wish MediaOne wasn't the crappiest cable company on the planet earth. I don't get SciFi, Comedy Central, or the Cartoon Network. I don't even get a preview channel. But I do get several religion channels, shopping channels, and news channels that I never watch. I gotta get a dish. Maybe I'll Ask Slashdot about that *grin*. God I loved MST3k.

Let it out to pasture

I loved MST3k as much as the next person, but c'mon, it's been around for 10 years or so now. The cancellation isn't just because of the SciFi channel, Best Brains said they felt it was about time to wrap it up too. I'm sure if there were enough complaints Best Brains might try to find another channel that would buy it, but it seems unlikely that anyone would want to since it has never proven to be very profitable in terms of ratings and advertising.

Rest in peace, SoL.
