MST3K - Kickstarter Telethon

Buoyed by a star-studded "telethon", the MST3K kickstarter has ended with great financial success even if the event was hampered my major technical problems. Here's the rundown for anyone interested:

First, the goal was to reach $5.5 Million to make a full season of twelve episodes. They got that.

Then, the goal was to reach $5.9 Million to add a Christmas episode to the season of twelve. They reached that.

Then, the goal was to pass $5.7 Million on the kickstarter alone to have the record for the highest total in the history of kickstarter. They reached that.

Finally, they said if they get to $6.3 Million, they'll make a 14th episode and they just barely made it.

This was the highlight for me. This is the Game Grumps interviewed and then playing a video game MST3K style with Crow. The game they play? "Manos: The Hands of Fate: the video game". Appropriate.



Here's Patton Oswalt stealing the show in a segment that kind of encapsulates the whole night.
