MST3K - The Final Promo - Diabolik

[ReijiThePhantom]

I still remember seeing this just minutes before the finale aired. The 90's may have gone on for a few more months after this, but they truly felt like they were over once MST3K ended.

[Aeolis7]

I am so glad they decided to cancel my favorite show to make room for... Wrestling!

Not very Sci-Fi, but very Sy Fy.

[slipknot92194]

I truly wish they could all do this show again, but I doubt they all would want to. No clue why they cancelled this, and why no other channel picked it up... Comedy central just has sucky programing now. Both channels are beyond stupid for cancelling it.

And I'll bet now that no other channel will buy rights to air the reruns 'cause they're afraid when their rights expire they'll have to fill the slot with something that cannot compare with this show!

*sighs* this is just a depressing video

[DarkNeonNightmare]

Well...*thinks of Simpsons* ALMOT every TV show...

[unclesporkums]

Man, oh, man! I still remember this ad!

[supermariofan03]

i'm writing scripts for that show to come back and i want to upload them to jim mallon can anyone tell me his e-mail address?

[SUPERMEDIABROTHERS6]

hey Sci-Fi channel!  You Suck!!!!

[DucknCoverin]

@Herr12 I'd put my money on Mr. B as the current owner and probable MST3K axe man or woman ummm... i think "he" had it in for the show ever since Jack Perkins sexually harassed him at the company party. Not to mention he had the money to buy Sci-Fi back then from all the royalties he got from Conn instruments. Either way I'm sure as hell not a happy king these days!

[634devil]

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

[vinylrecord68]

The MST3K saga continues....with US!!!

[koopakilla89]

You'll hear no complaints from me if MST3K starts up again.

[InvaderPet]

@JHeroes The last RERUN was "The Screaming Skull".

[stupidstuffx]

@GodzillaVsEveryone Yes, before they cancelled Farscape and MST3K and started airing utter shit like Stargate and the Battlestar Galatica revival

[UglyBat19]

MST didn't die. It just went into hibernation, and woke up as Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, Incognito Cinema Warriors, Quiptracks, and a slew of iRiffers. SciFi changed their name to SyFy as well as produced movies so bad, they're destined to featured on on of the aforementioned riffing programs. They can barely sustain a rating for any of their shows. I say, the riffers had the last laugh.

[skull902]

The only thing on SyFy (because poor literacy is KEWL) that gets good ratings is their wrestling programs. Y'know, stuff that has nothing to do with science fiction.

[UglyBat19]

@skull902 Like how mtv's highest rated shows have nothing to do with music!

[skull902]

I suppose wrestling could have to do with science fiction, but it has to be written that way. And not a lot these days is. As for MTV, yeah. They only run music videos for like 3 hours in the very early morning, just in time for the late shift guys to come home.

[UglyBat19]

@skull902 Assuming you watch wrestling like me. Have you ever seen HUSTLE from Japan? They billed themselves as "Fighting Opera" with a huge sci-fi angle. Including giants with satellite dishes on their heads, gay robots, and laser blasters. Unbelievably fun wrestling.

[skull902]

Your assumption is correct. But I only watch the good stuff, not like the crap they do now. And holy bageezus that sounds cool.

[UglyBat19]

@skull902 Same here. WWE and TNA haven't interested me in years. I just keep up with results and youtube clips to stay up to date. Hustle closed down in '08 but their stuff is still worth checking out. I'm still trying to figure out a way to do an iRiff on them. They're perfect for it.

[Aeolis7]

Gee, way to go Sci Fi Channel... making light of the fact that the best thing TV had to offer was getting cancelled. I guess they had to make room for wrestling... naturally on the Sci-Fi Channel! This still makes me ill. Thank GOD for the DVDs, and my very own, home-made Tom Servo.

[IceHockeyJedi]

This legend did NOT run it's course!

[M0VIES4U2]

NO!

[Ericthehammer76]

i wish this show could go on 4ever!!!!!

[c3section]

I will always love MST3K.

No matter who hosts it. No matter what channel its on, no matter what movies they feature, it's a part of all of us.

-----------------------

Weird thing about the promo, while it's for the last show in production, the last episode to debut was "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders" (From what I've read anyway)

[InvaderPet]

@c3section It was billed as a "lost episode".

[Kinemacolour]

"Hey! They cancelled it, and it's funny!"

I think that's what Servo would have said.

[LtGripweed]

It's the end... But the moment has been prepared for...

[Gellarfan666]

I think that Sci Fi has had but a few pleasant moments since then...(Tin Man) otherwise it's been an epic fail...

[Ututwhynot]

true...tripping the rift i thought was funny though

[eyesadrifter]

i remember seeing this promo when i was young and i have to say my childhood died that day

[sparkreno19]

i remember when I was younger, the station TO WATCH was sci-fi...now, it's like an 'eh, i don't care' network

[vinylrecord68]

The same can be said for Cartoon Network and TV Land...now they ALL suck big time!

[MetaSmoke]

A very dark day indeed for MSTies everywhere

[Ryoku75]

It was cool, now its mostly uninteresting stuff and crummy animes.

[SenseiSpongebob]

When I first saw this commercial as a kid a part of my soul died

[MaxHard9000]

A nice, warm thanks to the friggin' Sci Fi channel for canceling this gem of a show! Now, all we get are some cheap, sleze-ball Sci Fi original movies! THEY FRIGGIN' SUCK! ''Every tv show gets canceled,'' well, that will soon be you, Sci Fi! THIS SHOW ROCKED!

[DrWhiggs]

And a single tear rolled down the world's cheek.

[Tripp1993]

For the 20th anniversary, Sci-Fi Channel, Best Brains Inc, and Comedy Central should do a special broadcast showcasing 20 years of

MST3K: interviews, the history of MST3K, the B-movies, and also, interviews from the executives at KTMA (now WUCW), Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel. Ratings will go through the roof, and they'll start airing re-runs of MST3K Mondays-Fridays 3-5 PM. I think this will help the broadcasts for Thanksgiving 2008. What do you think?

[Rudolph4223]

They should bring back MST3K to make fun of all the shitty movies the sci-fi channel produces... hopefully they are geniuses and that has been their plan all along

[Herr12]

Yeah, bravo Sci-Fi Channel, cancelling the greatest tv show on earth for make loads of shit like that movie of a Mosquito Man, and the other, The Attack of the Stock Footage Bears. Who owns the network? Sandy Frank? Mr B Natural? Ortega? If you are reading Sci Fi execs: Burn in the deepest pit of Hell.

[chinesecommunist]

Indeed.

[HeresToPhilipWylie]

I'd just like to say a big, hearty "Thank You" to SciFi Channel for cancelling the best show in television history and replacing it with crap like "Pterodactyl" and "Attack of the Sabertooth". (Yeah, I know they have Battlestar Galactica too, but that doesn't begin to make up for their atrocity.)

[george78230]

Sci Fi channel sucks now. It makes me sick to think MST3K was cancelled so they could concentrate on making giant snake wovies!!!!

[Rolandzebub]

The mutant son of Mike's MST3K lives on in RiffTrax, so give them a look. I think Joel is still doing stuff too.

[MorbidG]

While I've always loved MST3K and would watch it today if it were still on, I think it was coming to its end when it was canceled. With DVDs getting big and every DVD having commentary, MST3K wasn't really as unique as it once was.

Also, the show was never really as successful as most networks would want it to be. Yeah it had a cult following, but I've known people who refused to watch it because of its premise/basis. Of course, those same people ended up loving the show after seeing it.

[tjt2383]

Ratings were always very good on Comedy Central and Sci-Fi but the show also needed execs with the patience for complicated rights negotiations with third parties. It was a bona-fide hit when it was cancelled. A typical souless exec would say 'why run a show with great ratings but with all that hassle when we could make our own really bad movies that we would own free and clear?' The fact that we nevertheless did get 10 seasons of MST3K shows that there is good in the world. Long live MST3K!

[Gnomish34]

That was a dark day....

R.I.P. MST3K

[ReverendSyn]

Damn you Sci-Fi Channel!

DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!

[TheNewTerrific20]

Nooooooooo!!!!!! Why??????????

[101Volts]

Why they cancelled MST3K Is beyond me, It's a great show!

[shepja87]

I think I read it was a decision made by the network, something about how single episodes were too long and the network could fit 3 half hour shows into the slot for one MST3K episode.

[KamenriderZ]

And most likely those shows would suck.

MST3K forever!

[mdfilmguy]

look at the rest of the Sci-Fi channel's programming, and you'll understand why they don't want to endorse making fun of bad movies.

[AnitaLife27]

Of course! Sci-fi channel makes these "final episode" promos as soon as they sign a show--any show. The probably make them for shows they'll never even run.

Thanks for posting that!

[DemonlordofRazgriz]

I think you're getting Sci-fi, and Fox mixed up.

[quizno1992]

in the beginning thats definitely servo singing

[cubtat2]

I still love this show. Wish it was still on. It beats almost all the cr*p on TV.

[quizno1992]

true true

[steeltownbrown52]

I caught the ending of that Diabolik, looks kinda disturbing. I only caught it cause I wanted to see the gangs last seen.

[VoyBoyX]

Find Diabolik on here. Someone's got the whole MST3k ep posted.

They went out with a BANG on this one.

[steeltownbrown52]

I saw the whole thing of Diabolik,lol. Not as disturbing any more.

[VoyBoyX]

Another bad movie made good, and another fan pleased.

[elmickeyman]

I'm fairly new to mst3k and i gotta say that I'm A HUGE FAN of this show!!!! The Mike Nelson era was the funniest ever and now thanks to You Tube I'm Addicted to the show. An Addiction I wouln't mind if it catches on!!

[chrisc1187]

most mstie-newbs have usually only seen the Nelson seasons, Joel and Mike are one of the most argued in the world on who was better, i believe that joel was a better host, but mike is a better writer and comedian, thus why he moved on to rifftrax but Joel was some great ones too, check out manos

[jsonitsac]

That promo brings a tear to my eye.

[AlexandriaM]

Although sad, it's comforting to find all the MSTies mourning together. Plus we do have the reincarnation that is Rifftrax, so not all is lost.

Gotta love Mike screaming "We're all gonna die!" in the ad.

[CliffX]

The fact that MST3K is still relevant and brilliantly funny is testament to the fact that the Sci-Fi Channel totally f*cked up here and no one was smart enough to bring the franchise back. But then, maybe I shouldn't wish for its resurrection, after not being able to find Family Guy funny anymore.

[TuxKamen]

The only Sci-Fi episode I ever got to see when MST3K wasn't relegated to early Saturday mornings was "Agent For H.A.R.M.", because I didn't get Sci-Fi until after the last episode was aired. The last time I saw Agent was during a marathon (also the only time I got to see "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies"). Luckily, I taped as many of the episodes as I could.

[pkhtjim]

It's strange. I only remember watching MST3K from it's... Comedy Central days. Then stumbling upon finding it on Sci Fi. Was 10...11, 12 then? Now 21, i'm a greater fan of MST! So SciFi was straightforwardly blunt...

[CaelumRevert]

It's nothing to be sad about. It's a glorious end to a magnificent show. It will never truly die until the last MSTie bites the dust. And judging from how it's popularity has gone on to the next generation, that won't be for a long time. Rock on MST3K, rock on.

[reedradloff]

I wish I would have had cable at that time. Just so that I could have had my soul crushed and been force to face the harsh reality that is life at a slightly younger age.

[sycamoreknip]

A day.....that will live....in infamy......

[basslow91]

Man, I hate how sad an event this was and how upbeat this damn ad is

[Trigfreak88]

I remember seeing this on TV and I think a little of me died that day :(

[electrogeek77]

God, watching that was depressing.

[NJDevils1982]

I seriously have MST3K to thank for 90% of my personality, and I love it.

[thanatogenos]

circa 1999, almost 7 years ago. *cries*

[RadloffR]

Let's see...When did all that is good in the world suddenly dissapear and life as we know it would forever be without merriment and mirth?...Yeah, it's been about 7 years now.

[NJDevils1982]

Proof that god does not exist.
