'''''Mystery Science Theater 3000''''' — '''''MST3K''''' for short —
''MST3K'' quickly achieved cult status; after one season, the show was picked up by the fledgling Comedy Channel (now [[Comedy Central]]). Although the riffing was a lot more sophisticated—it was now written in advance, rather than improvised—the show never betrayed its low-budget roots, featuring production values which deliberately mimicked the string-powered pie plates and papier-mache aliens of the films it mocked. After the first season on Comedy Central, Weinsten left; he was replaced by the big-voiced Kevin Murphy (as Tom Servo) and the generally big Frank Conniff (as TV's Frank, who became Dr. Forrester's hapless sidekick). With this cast in place, the show hit its stride and ran for six more seasons, eventually spawning [[The Movie|a feature film]]. During the fifth season, Joel left and was [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|seamlessly replaced]] by head writer Mike Nelson.
