It was on this date in 1988 that our favorite show debuted on KTMA-23 and took on Invaders from the Deep and Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars.
Happy 33rd, MST3K. You somehow managed to age better than Paul Rudd!

You know, I don’t think I realized that it actually premiered on Thanksgiving.
Learn something new every day and it’s barely 7 a.m.!

Happy Turkeyversary!
I had forgotten that KTMA was channel 23. Shades of the Illuminati. And it’s also one letter adjacent to KTLA, the all-seeing omnipresent network. KTLA Predicts!

You’ve helped fill in some of my foggier memories of tuning in to the ktma episodes… I wish that I knew if that ad ran before the family left town, or if we saw it when going through the papers when we got back home?
(Every thanksgiving week, family would travel from MN to Florida, for one last week of warmth before a long Minnesotan winter)
I’m going to have to bring this up at the Turkey Day dinner table… someone has to remember… maybe these ads will help jog memories…
Happy Turkey Day/MST3Kiversary!

Over a week ago was my own 30 anniversary of discovering MST3K! By the time of my birthday next month, I can officially say I’ve been watching MST3K half my life! How did that happen already?!
I went through a similar thing with SNL somewhere between Dec. 11, 1989 and Jan. 17, 1990.
