Premiering on Thanksgiving Day like the series itself did in 1988, The Mega Turkey Day Marathon Telethon will showcase a whopping 24 classic MST3K episodes over the course of two days. The event begins at 9 am ET on Thursday, Nov. 23rd and concludes Saturday, Nov. 25th at 9 am ET in tandem with the conclusion of the MST3K Season 14 crowdfunding campaign. Will MST3K raise $4.8 million to produce a new season of episodes? You decide, by visiting Showmaker.MST3K.com.
This year’s marathon lineup was selected by the series’ writers, who were asked to choose their absolute favorite classic episodes, the ones that set them on the path of writing for the world’s only Peabody Award-winning moving-riffing TV series featuring plastic robots. The carefully curated collection of episodes that will be screened during the event include classic episodes such as “Viking Women and the Sea Serpent,” “Surgically Enhanced” classic episodes including “The Pumaman,” that have had their visual components upgraded to 1080p from the original 480p, episodes from the show’s latest season including “The Bubble,” and three hilarious holiday episodes, including the Season 13 fan favorite “The Christmas Dragon.”
The marathon will be available to watch on a wide variety of platforms. For a complete list, visit MST3KTurkeyDay.com.

Season 13 got mixed reviews.
I discovered MST3K during a Turkey Day marathon in 1992, back when Comedy Central still liked and promoted the show.
The original cast would introduce episodes and put on sketches.
The only ones who are involved with this current iteration are Joel Hodgson, J. Elvis Weinstein, and Mary Jo Pehl.
This new version of MST3K writers have no ties to the original series.
I’ll continue to watch the original series and Rifftrax.
No The Mads Are Back for you, either?
I forgot about The Mads.
Trace and Frank have a great Youtube channel.
What is their definition of “classic”?
