Another thing to consider - if this announcement goes the way it sounds like it will, it might be worth having an admin move this thread to General Chat to get more exposure.

And replace the question mark with an exclamation mark.

Welp, the campaign is live! I pledged at the $50 level, but depending on where the campaign goes I may up it.
One thing I would like answered is who was voicing the bots and who was that guy down in the seats, and are they indicative of what to expect from the new cast?

Wow, $2 million. That's a pretty hefty goal. There are 30 days in the campaign, and they have over $100,000 now, but that's a long way from $2 million. I've got my fingers crossed but I'm just not sure they're going to make it.
Just noticed - $2 million is for three episodes. They need $5.5 million for a full season of 12 episodes.

Rumor is that Jonah Ray is the mystery host:

Rumor is that Jonah Ray is the mystery host: Well, let me be the first to say, "WHO?" Of course, I said that about Joel the first time I saw the show, so that's appropriate. I generally enjoy the Nerdist collective, though. So many details to work out and learn. I hope they pull this off.

Yay, more MST3K!
I pledged.
Let's hope the 3 voices were NOT the new cast, and just fill ins for the KS video. They were...not so good.
As said, the asking price seems a little high, but then I think MST3K is far bigger than RiffTrax ever has been, and RiffTrax can get 200K pretty easily. (I pledge to their first two.)
Fingers crossed.

(I pledge to their first two.) That's a pretty good point, Rifftrax has been surprisingly good at crowdfunding projects. If the word gets around on this it may be an easier goal than it first seems. Someone get an admin to move this thread, or maybe start a fresh one in General Chat.

I donated! This is so exciting!
I like that they are offering blu-ray. I like Crow's new(?) voice. Need to hear more from the others.
They must be pretty confident they can hit 2M. Most smart Kickstarters have some "aces up their sleeves" in case things get iffy. And they did mention sponsorship options of 25K/50K. Interesting.
I HATE this though: "I'd love to shoot some (or all) of the new season LIVE in front of an audience". I hope they stick to the studio.

Just added a thread in General Chat for quick reference.

I haven't been following along too closely on this.
I get that a new host is happening and apparently new puppeteers. I assume Joel will be the producer. Is any of the old cast returning? Old writers? I'll support this project to some degree, but depending on if any Best Brains alumni return I'll support it more.

Put me in with the group that absolutely does not want it recorded with an audience. That may have been fine and fun for CT, but in space no one can hear the applause of the audience. Really hope they don't go that route.
