Mystery Science Theater 3000, also referred to as "The 'Bots Are Back!" is an Internet cartoon created by Best Brains, Inc. It is inspired by BBI's original Mystery Science Theater 3000 TV series, and is directed by former Executive Producer Jim Mallon. The series features the robot characters from the original series in a variety of brief skits taking place at an undetermined point during the original show's fictional timeline. However, as of this time, no human character (Joel or Mike) is present.

[edit] History
The animated version of MST3k was first announced on the Satellite News website (formerly BBI's official website) on October 29, 2007. The new cartoon was described as a "weekly series of animated adventures," and would debut as part of an all-new MST3k website. This new site would also feature content from the original series as well as a new online store. The website went live on November 5, along with the first installment of the animated series.
New episodes were scheduled to be posted every Monday. However, despite regular updates to other parts of the site, no new episodes of the cartoon have been posted since November 26, 2007.
[edit] Reactions
Initially, response to the new website on both of the major fan discussion boards was mixed. Mike Nelson, star and head writer of the original series, called the animated series "cute" but felt it was an "after-the-fact" idea. [1]
[edit] Episodes
- "Reel Livin'": Crow goes fishing and discusses the benefits of his "incredibly stable" kayak before being capsized by Servo on a jet ski.
- "Feels Like": Gypsy and Servo discuss actual temperature versus the wind chill factor. Servo then begins translating everything Gypsy says into "feels like..." statements, much to her annoyance.
- "Thanksgiving Clown": Servo dresses up as a clown, thinking it to be a Thanksgiving tradition. Crow consults an old World Book encyclopedia to verify.
- "Solitaire": Crow plays solitaire while Servo advises. Eventually Crow becomes fed up with Servo's pestering and leaves. Servo sees a fantastic move, but can't play as his arms don't work. Desperate, he tries to move the cards using telekinesis.
