We are always receiving letters requesting more information on Best Brains,
the show, how we do stuff, etc. Here's our attempt at a Frequently Asked
Question list:
- What happened to the Satellite News?
-
The Holiday '96 Issue (8.2) of the Satellite News was the last
newsletter sent out to MST 3000 Fan Club
members by
Best Brains,
Inc. All future MST3K news will be
posted here at the
Mystery Science Theater 3000 official website.
Merchandise catalogs are still mailed to Info Club members from Best
Brains. Update your address by writing to:
MST3K
P.O. Box 5325
Hopkins, MN 55343
- Why did Joel/Frank/Josh/Trace leave and what are they doing now?
- They all decided to leave Best Brains to find new creative challenges
in Los Angeles.
- When did SciFi begin running MST?
- MST began airing on The SciFi Channel
February 1, 1997. They contracted with us to buy 22 new episodes for Season
8, 13 shows for Season 9, and we were renewed for Season 10 in June, 1998!
The films include The Terror From the Year 5000, Jack Frost, The
Prince of Space, The Horror of Party Beach, Space Mutiny,
Werewolf and Gorgo. The "old" shows that aired on
Comedy Central are
not being shown anywhere at this time. Check the websites (listed below)
for the latest US and European schedules.
- Is MST being released on home video?
- Yes, we're releasing selected episodes on
Rhino
Home Video. Eleven are available as of June 1998: Mitchell, The Brain
That Wouldn't Die, Cave Dwellers, Pod People, The Unearthly,
Eegah!, Red Zone Cuba, The Atomic Brain, I Accuse My Parents,
Gunslinger, and Manos, The Hands of Fate. Angels' Revenge and the
MST Shorts Tape will be released summer of 1998. They will be available through
our Info Club catalog, SciFi Channel's
Store, anywhere Rhino titles are sold, or you can
order them from Rhino Direct at 1-800-432-0020. No other episodes are available for
purchase at this time.
- Why aren't letters read on the show anymore?
- We stopped reading letters on the show after Season 7. But we do read all letters
that comes to Best Brains, via our address:
MST3K
P.O. Box 5325
Hopkins, MN 55343
Many are posted
each week in
the writing room, and other comments are circulated to the whole staff.
- Will you ever do "shorts" again?
- The longer movies and more complex host segments, plus SciFi's requirement that
shorts be sci-fi related, make it difficult to include shorts in the new shows. However,
a short (Century 21 Calling) appears with episode 906, The Space Children.
- When will MST: The Movie be released on video or laserdisc?
- MST: The Movie was released by Universal Home Video on October 1, 1996, on Laserdisc October 7, and
on DVD in spring 1998. You can purchase our movie at retail outlets or through the
Info Club catalog (VHS only) (#4B, $15.00).
- Can I buy The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide through the Fan Club?
Will there be an update to include Seasons 7+?
- You can buy the book through Rhino Direct (1-800-432-0020), SciFi
Merchandising, or bookstores (Bantam, ISBN 0-553-37783-3). There are no plans
for a revision, but episode summaries for Season 8+, penned by our writers, are
available on the Dominion's MST page.
- Where can I find MST info online?
-
MST3K schedules, merchandise, and news will be
posted here at the
Mystery Science Theater 3000 official website.
