The newest version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 debuts on Netflix on April 14. It's a remarkable comeback for a show with a complicated history. It started out on local cable in Minnesota, jumped to multiple markets, got a ten-year run on the Sci-Fi Channel, re-ran for a while, jumped to DVDs, and birthed an offshoot called RiffTrax. All along the way, the concept gained fans old and young. The new MST3K is a result of a crowdfunding campaign. Read how it all came about at the A.V. Club.
