The guys from MST3000 are returning to television again with riffrax.

glad to see its the ones that are still funny. Cinematic Titanic, not so much.

They're slated to return to TV on April 1st. On Nation Geographic. April Fools anyone?

They hit a real stride with the live DVDs. "East meets Watts" is riot.

I've watched a couple live ones and the studio ones, the CT stuff just seems kind of forced. I wonder if they are feeling it too and that's why they are calling it quits.

Funny, I thought the whole experience improved with an audience. I think they called it quits over logistics, I'm really bummed I never got to see it live.

Cinematic Titanic was great live. I saw Rattlers live... their live DVDs are definitely better than the studio ones (but the studio ones are still worth picking up). The live audience adds a lot to the atmosphere. I'd second East Meets Watts as a great CT release.

I really like Rifftrax, too, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed to see the Rifftrax crew using MST3K branding without some of the other original MST3K cast like Joel, Trace, Frank, Josh, or Mary Jo.
