RiffTrax to return 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' to TV on National Geographic

"Mystery Science Theater 3000" is one of the most bizarre and beloved cult series ever to hit television. Now, the current incarnation of the show, RiffTrax, is returning to TV with new episodes on National Geographic.

During the show's run from 1988 to 1999 (with a few interruptions and on four separate networks), "MST3K" fans tuned in to watch a hapless man and two robots watch bad movies while making jokes at those films' expense. The show left TV, seemingly for good, after its cancellation by the Syfy Channel in 1999 but later found an internet incarnation in RiffTrax -- audio tracks for feature films, designed to be listened to while watching the movies.

National Geographic is bringing the RiffTrax crew -- Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy (as Tom Servo) and Bill Corbett (as Crow T. Robot) -- back for three episodes on April 1. While details are not yet available, the trio are expected to riff on some form of television programming -- National Geographic documentaries be due for the joking treatment?

as well as descriptions for the three episodes:

NGC is having some fun this April Fools’ Day. We’ve teamed up with RiffTrax, a movie and television commentary group created by the guys of “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” See your favorite Nat Geo programming with some unconventional commentary worked in around the narration and dialogue. In this episode, the RiffTrax guys dig into some Bad@$$ Animals and a segment from My Dog Ate What? featuring a pup with an affinity for thongs.

Next Airing: TUE APR 1 9PM ET
The RiffTrax guys are back for another hour of hilarious commentary. The second hour features an episode of Man v. Monster starring a “flesh-eating” bat, or as the guys like to call the flying demon — Christian Bale (a “Batman” reference, in case you missed it). RiffTrax is a movie and television commentary group created by the guys of “Mystery Science Theater 3000.”

There’s still one more hour of RiffTrax commentary to go! RiffTrax is a movie and television commentary group created by the guys of “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” The guys work their commentary magic on an unlikely relationship between a man and his goose in a segment from Unlikely Animal Friends. Then it’s on to the gator wranglers of Swamp Men and the highly trained K-9s in Alpha Dogs.
