The show's premise involved a man and some robots watching cheesy movies and cracking jokes. Over its 197 episodes, <i>MST3K</i> developed a passionate fan base that took it from a local UHF show in Hopkins, Minnesota, to a major motion picture. This is the story of <i>MST3K</i> from the beginning to the end. Twelve of the episodes are covered, giving an in-depth look at the show, its ethos and its comedic style. The films screened in these episodes are discussed critically, as are the episodes themselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"recommended"--<i>Midwest Book Review</i>; "a refreshingly accessible tour of the cult series' 11-season run that works as both a history overview and greatest-hits tour...strongly recommended"--<i>Bookgasm</i>; "recommended....
