MST3K CONTINUES!

Updated September 15, 2003

We are happy to report that the contract Best Brains, Inc. signed with the Sci-fi Channel expires January 31, 2004, and not 2003 as previously reported.

As you may be aware, Sci-Fi Channel must buy special rights for the movies shown on MST3K. Due to budget considerations, those rights are bought on a limited basis. The exact terms vary from movie to movie. When the rights to a particular movie expire, Sci-Fi Channel can no longer broadcast that particular episode.

With that in mind, here is our best information about which episodes Sci-Fi Channel can and cannot still air...

The following episodes have not aired since 1999, and may be assumed to be gone for good:
806- THE UNDEAD
807- TERROR FROM THE YEAR 5000
808- THE SHE CREATURE
809- I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF
812- THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES
813- JACK FROST
815- AGENT FOR H.A.R.M.
909- GORGO

The following episodes last aired in 2000 (the month they appeared the final time follows each title). It's safe to say they are also gone for good:
801- REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (April '00)
802- THE LEECH WOMAN (April '00)
803- THE MOLE PEOPLE (June '00)
804- THE DEADLY MANTIS (June '00)
805- THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE (June '00)
814- RIDING WITH DEATH (April '00)
901- THE PROJECTED MAN (April '00)
906- THE SPACE CHILDREN (with short: CENTURY 21 CALLING) (April '00)

These titles have not aired since 2001 (the month they last aired is shown) and are also considered gone for good:
818- DEVIL DOLL (June '01)
817- HORROR OF PARTY BEACH (June '01)
905- THE DEADLY BEES (Jan. '01)
904- WEREWOLF (Jan. '01)
903- PUMA MAN (Feb. '01)

These titles last aired in 2002, so we can consider them gone for good, as well:
811- "PARTS": THE CLONUS HORROR (Jan. '02)
907- HOBGOBLINS (Mar. '02)
1005- BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z (Aug. '02) 1013- DIABOLIK (July '02)

Also, we have confirmed that the rights for episode 820- SPACE MUTINY (last aired March '03) have expired.

The following episodes have aired since January of 2003, and may be considered current:
810- THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION
816- PRINCE OF SPACE
819- INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN
821- TIME CHASERS
822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK
902- PHANTOM PLANET
908- THE TOUCH OF SATAN
910- THE FINAL SACRIFICE
911- DEVIL FISH
912- THE SCREAMING SKULL (with short: ROBOT RUMPUS)
913- QUEST OF THE DELTA KNIGHTS
1001- SOULTAKER
1002- THE GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS
1003- MERLIN'S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS
1004- FUTURE WAR
1006- BOGGY CREEK II
1007- TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST
1008- FINAL JUSTICE
1009- HAMLET
1010- IT LIVES BY NIGHT
1011- HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND
1012- SQUIRM (with short: A CASE OF SPRING FEVER)

Enjoy!
