Various web sites report that 14 new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) have been made available on the Netflix streaming service. Older episodes can also be seen on Netflix. Each is 90 minutes long, and has intermissions. During the show, fictional characters—including puppets—give humourous running commentary while a B movie is shown.
A trailer advertises the new episodes; another video advertisement shows MST3K's treatment of the beginning of an episode of Netflix's Stranger Things.
According to the show's official site, the new season is permitted to be seen in "the U.S., U.K., New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and Canada."

Total money grab by Hodgson and Mallon. The reason Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy have been able to continue to make a living out of riffing while the rest of them have often tried and failed is because they are great comedy writers and have really good timing when riffing. They also have great chemistry when working live shows. The "Return" is just white bread and homogenized milk for the masses. I'm sure it's going to be a huge success for Netflix. Of course, just my opinion after watching 5 eps.
