I was just listening to the commentary track on the new Simpsons DVDs. We all know that in the "Who Shot Mr. Burns, part 1" episode, MST is showing on the TV in Moe's bar. It's part of the clue that Smithers watches Comedy Central at 3:00 PM. Anyway, on the commentary track in that scene, show-runner David Mirkin points out MST and says that, "Back then, we could make fun of the fact that Comedy Central really had crappy shows." Them's fightin' words! Actually, he didn't specify that he thought MST was a crappy show, just that in 1995 Comedy Central had a lot of crappy shows. Which is true. My God, I Remember That!!

There was also an MST3K homage in Futurama, which shared the creator and a few of the same writers/producers, so I think they are fans. The Futurama quote was on the episode Raging Bender and I believe they said "Mystery Science Theater 3000, Joel Hodgeson, thanks for letting us steal your idea"
