At least
three new episodes of MST3K will be filmed [thenewstack.io], thanks to over $2 million in online contributions from fans. Responding to a Kickstarter plea by series creator Joel Hodgson, fans
contributed over $1.5 million [kickstarter.com] within just two days, and after five more they'd push Hodgson over the first $2 million threshold. “We’ve got movie sign!” Hodgson
posted on Twitter [twitter.com], noting that for each additional $1.1 million raised over the next 20 days, three more new episodes would be filmed. And this Thursday he'll be
hosting a grateful online marathon of classic episodes [kickstarter.com] on Thanksgiving Day, a tradition which dates back nearly 25 years, when "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" first began its 8-year run on Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi channel.
