Many of my British readers will not have heard of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'm a big fan of it myself and always appreciated an episode I haven't seen. A friend introduced it to me a while back and at first I didn't know what to make of it. After watching a few episodes I began to understand that it was in fact pure genius!
To save a lengthy read here is its Wikipedia page: Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Wikipedia
There are ten series of it in total and each episode covers an old B-movie. The heckling and commentary is hilarious. Sometimes they make highly specific cultural references meaning that some jokes are lost on one person but another person would find such a joke very amusing.
It's difficult to discribe unless you sit and watch a few episodes. I just wanted to raise a little awareness of the show. Unfortantly it was only in production during the 90s and has finished.
