  Mystery Science Theater 3000
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988–1999), usually abbreviated MST3K, is a cult television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson featuring a man and his robot sidekicks who are trapped on a satellite in space and forced to watch particularly bad movies.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 first aired on local TV in the Twin Cities on KTMA-TV, a UHF station (not a cable access channel, as is sometimes reported) from November 24, 1988 to May 1989.

Episodes 101- The Crawling Eye to episode 113- The Black Scorpion had the standard "Joel" lyrics we are familiar with, plus visuals that were almost as cheesy as those on KTMA
In episode 819- Invasion of the Neptune Men Mike is so repelled by the movie that he leaves the theater, only to be forced to return when he discovers that Pearl has turned off the oxygen supply to the rest of the ship (a trick that Dr. Forrester similarly used in MST3K: The Movie).
It was actually (as many suspected all along) the last episode done in season one, and was made after episode 113- The Black Scorpion, which explains why there are references in that episode to several later episodes, and the announcement of the winners of a contest that is first announced in episode 110- Robot Holocaust.

 Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume 5 DVD review continued
The writers and creators of Mystery Science Theater 3000 have found a very clever way to turn some of the worst films ever made into some of the funniest comedy you’ve ever seen.
Popularized as a series on Comedy Central, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is about a man named Mike Nelson who is stuck on a satellite, floating through space with several robots.
There are four complete episodes on this four-disc set and the films featured are “Boggy Creek II,” “Time Chasers,” “Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonder” and “The Touch of Satan.” You can tell by the titles alone that these are pretty bad movies, but the actual films that are shown on the show are irrelevant.

The short, Junior Rodeo Daredevils, is a classic MST3K bit that is referred to in many later episodes of the show (e.g., "old timer Billy Slater" is mentioned for years after this episode was made).
These are all good episodes, and the additions of shorts always pleases (it's a pity they moved away from shorts in the later seasons).
As far as I know, MST3k only managed rights for the films featured in their episodes under very limited terms; in most cases they need to re-negotiate the rights to make DVDs; and in more than a few cases they managed to, well, slightly annoy the creators (and rightsholders) with their antics.

 DVD Review:
Another release of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 episodes from Rhino and another nice split between episodes hosted by Joel Robinson and his replacement, Mike Nelson.
That complaint aside, this film is the embodiment of every 1950s-1960s bad science fiction movie: the goofy science, the boring plot, the long sequences of planetary explorers slowing making their way across the same three studio sets, the "twist" ending which connects the fate of the futuristic astronauts with the birth of mankind.
I hadn't seen this episode since MST3k was still airing fresh episodes, and while I remembered this being a bad film, I'd hadn't realized how much of this movie is taken up by pointless song and dance sequences.
