I'll be honest, I'm not too excited about this. MST3K is probably my favorite show of all time, but it was just one of those magic right time, right place, right people scenarios you can't repeat, and it's been gone so long I doubt they could get back the magic. Also it's kind of pointless to me, since Rifftrax exists and has been carrying on the riffing tradition with flying colors. The nail in the coffin for me though was casting Felicia Day as a Mad, her "haha I'm so nerdy and quirky!" shtick is not something I'm a fan of and I don't think it'd be a good fit for MST3K. I do hope it goes over well, but I'm on the cautious side of cautiously optimistic until I watch the first episode.
I'd sooner give the new cast the benefit of the doubt. I trust Joel knows what he's doing.
After the past 2 days, this is starting to look more possible.
If Wednesday nets $157,438, then the last 2 days need to raise 77.24% of the first 2 days ($379,394 and $620,404) in order to reach $5.5m. This counts $255k in add-ons thus far, but not further add-ons. If these numbers play out, I wouldn't expect $4.4m to be hit until Thursday morning, however.
