I found this New York Times article via slashdot … “Mystery Science Theater 3000” turns 20 this month! MST3k premiered on Thanksgiving Day 1988 on KTMA in Minnesota.

I love the Clippy cameos, and my favorite part is the last line. 😉
I took my daughter to see “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” this afternoon. I guess everyone who wanted to see this saw it opening weekend, because this was only the third weekend of its release and the theater was pretty empty … and all the kids were girls under 10, as I expected. “Senior …
