Im certain thatthere is absolutely no way they can screw this up.
Even though nobody asked me, I made a very small, relatively reasonable list of demands.
Theyre not really demands.
Theyre hardly even suggestions.

Anyway, weve got list sign…
1.
Dont make it a reboot.
Well, as much asMystery Science Theater 3000respects anything, of course.
Speaking of which…
2.
Keep the theme tune.
Seriously, some version of Love Theme From Mystery Science Theater 3000 is non-negotiable.
Also, the episodes need to end withMighty Science Theater.This is not up for discussion.
But back to one of the bigger questions…
3.
So, the newMST3Kis looking for a new host, and thats not a bad thing.
There might be some new robots on the way, too.
Thats not necessarily a bad thing, either.
The iconography of Crow and Tom Servo in the silhouette will be really difficult to replace.
It doesnt mean its impossible, though.
Theres plenty of room for cameos from other mads as things go on, too.
Or maybe Joel and Mike are the new mads and…okay, that would be too much.
Dont riff big movies.
The newMST3Kshould also function as a window into a weirder world for newer and younger viewers.
Part of the charm ofMST3Kwas always the obscurity of some of the choices.
Dont riff Sharknado or anything like it.
No, for real.
Dont do them the honor.
Dont make it too slick.
Everyone has to get paid.
But under no circumstances shouldMST3Keverlooklike they spent a bunch of money making it.
Look at it like this.
Keep it PG
Mystery Science Theater 3000was always more Marx Brothers than Andrew Dice Clay.
Keep it Weird
Forever and always.
I never got half the jokes, which were obscure and probably dated even when they were saying em.
I probably still wont.
