Turkey Day Marathon Of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Is On Shout! Factory TV

Press Releases

Thanksgiving used to be a great holiday when the family got together to share a meal and feel grateful for the previous year. But then one of your aunts married that loudmouth who seems to spend his day calling talk radio shows to tell people how things really are. Enduring an evening with him makes you wonder why there aren’t Homicide Hotlines where operators try to talk you out of choking this guy to death with a wishbone and burying him in the giblets. The good news is this year you can claim you might have the Bubonic plague from China and stay home to watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon with people that are truly your family: Joel, Mike, the Bots and even the Mad Scientists. The tradition that started decades ago is back with Crow T Robot and Tom Servo even hosting six hand picked classic episodes. And you can watch them online via Shout! Factory TV. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory with all the details. Remember that staying home and watching MST3K will keep you from having a final meal of turkey on death row.
