11.03.96 | SciFi Dominion online chat with Kevin
Murphy
Kevin Murphy was the guest of honor on the
SciFi
Dominion's online chat today. Here is a sampling of just a small portion
of Kevin Murphy's Q&A online chat:
Q: How did Best Brains Inc. feel when Trace left?
A: We were all sad to see Trace go, of course, but I never want to hold
someone back from their dreams. He seems to be happy in California, and
I wish him all the
best.
Q: What is your opinion of the new guy who's doing Crow's voice. Is it a
pretty good replacement?
A: Bill Corbett is terribly funny, and has proven to be talented as a
puppeteer.
Q: What is the process for choosing a movie...and are some movies "off
limits?"
A: Movies can't be too violent or abusive to either sex, and they should
be in focus...

06.24.96 | SciFi Channel rescues "MST3K" from TV
oblivion!
*** START OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE ***
June 24, 1996
SciFi CHANNEL RESCUES "MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000" FROM TV OBLIVION
Mike Nelson And The Bots To Remain in Orbit On "Satellite of Love."
SciFi Channel has rescued the award-winning comedy series "Mystery
Science Theater 3000" from cancellation, and will bring it safely to its
original programming lineup where the series will flourish with
exclusive, original episodes beginning in February, 1997, it was
announced today by Barry Schulman, Vice President, Programming, SciFi
Channel.
Thirteen episodes of the series have been ordered for 1997. "MST3K" will
also be telecast internationally for the first time, airing on USA
Networks' international channels SciFi Europe and as part of the SciFi
Channel programming block on USA Network Latin America, Schulman said.
On SciFi Channel, each episode of "MST3K" will feature a full-length
science-fiction (as opposed to any other genre) film with accompanying
comments by the silhouetted trio of Mike Nelson, Crow T. Robot and Tom
Servo, plus skits and an occasional original song.
The popularity of this series continues to grow. Last spring, "MST3K"
made it to the big screen with a critically-acclaimed feature film. The
series has also spawned a book, a web site, fan clubs and a national
convention to be held on Labor Day weekend in Minneapolis.
"We are thrilled to offer our viewers this innovative Peabody
award-winning show and pleased about keeping it alive with all new
episodes. The series is a natural fit for us and has developed quite a
loyal following over the years," commented Schulman.
Rod Perth, President, USA Networks, Entertainment, added, "This is a
very significant step in the continued growth of SciFi Channel. With
unprecedented launch commitments from major cable operators including
TCI, SciFi Channel is now in a position to invest in exclusive original
series. Combined with the White House's recent request for SciFi
channel, this is becoming a banner year for the network."
Jim Mallon, producer, "Mystery Science Theater 3000," summed it up: "We
Are absolutely thrilled to be bringing MST3K to SciFi Channel. It feels
like we are home. It's warm and comfy and we noticed a nice plate of
cookies and some milk for us."
"MST3K" (which completed its seventh season on Comedy Central in May)
follows the exploits of Mike Nelson (played by Michael J. Nelson), who
is marooned on the space ship "The Satellite of Love." As part of a
diabolical experiment, Nelson is forced to watch some of the worst
science fiction/fantasy films ever created. Aided by his acid- tongued
robot pals -- the bubble-headed Tom Servo (voiced Kevin Murphy) and Crow
T. Robot (voiced by Trace Beaulieu) -- Nelson and crew provide sarcastic
and witty running commentary during the films which are monitored by the
bizarre Dr. Clayton Forrester (also played by Beaulieu). Rounding out
the crew is Dr. Forrester's mom, Pearl (played by Mary Jo Pehl) and
Gypsy (voiced by Producer Jim Mallon), who pilots the ship.
"MST3K" is produced by the Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based, Best
Brains Inc. Jim Mallon is the producer. Mike Nelson is the head writer. Kevin
Murphy is associate producer.
SciFi Channel, a USA Network, is available to more than 30 million
homes and features a mix of original and classic science-fiction,
fantasy, horror and futuristic series, movies and specials. SciFi
Channel is also available internationally in Latin America, Brazil,
Europe and the South African countries. The Dominion, SciFi Channel's
web site, is located at the following address: (http://www.SciFi.com).

04.01.96 | We Want Our MST, Variety!
In an effort to save
Mystery Science Theater 3000, a total of 110 MiSTies (including Jack
Perkins himself) raised the $4700 needed to run a full-page ad in
Variety. The grass-roots campaign is
intended to call attention to the recent cancellation of
Mystery Science Theater 3000 by Comedy Central
AND more importantly to encourage any prospective network executives or
networks to pick up the show, Now would be a good time to keep those
fingers crossed...and keep sending in those letters to the
SciFi
