They did something like that on Sci-Fi a couple of times. It didn’t work very well.
Mystery Science Shadow Puppetry 3000
Wherein terrible shadow puppets are the object of ridicule.
We have silhouettes watching silhouettes, and I have no idea how this is supposed to work, but that one guy’s albatross shadow? HORRIBLE. It’s the Castle of Fu Manchu of albatross shadows.
Mystery Science Community Theater 3000
Pretty much the same idea, but as conceived, choreographed and directed by Corky St. Clair.

Mystery Seance Theater 3000
(I began writing up a synopsis based on this title, but I realized it’s pretty much The Other Side with Zabrecky. And that’s… pretty entertaining in its own way. But a terrible version of MST3K.)
Mystery Racist Theater, created by an AI from Twitter and YouTube content.
Actually, that’s too awful.
Mystery Sentence Theater 3000
A courtroom reality series where the losing party is forced to watch bad movies.
They set up Roger Corman’s Day the World Ended up as a riff target for audiences (the row of theater seat silhouettes were there, but empty) as something to tide folks over until the Season 8 premiere of Revenge of the Creature.
The format had its pluses and minuses.

Dull?!
Un-mystery un-science un-theater 3000(minus)3000
It’s just the silhouette of the three characters sitting quietly in a theater watching movies, whispering quietly on occasion, and we get lots of audio of shifting in their seats, eating snacks, drinking pop and coughing, sniffling, etc…
Nothing outside the theater, no Mads.
Ok, I fixed it.
