I should have known that Dave Howe, Syfy President, was cut from the
same cloth as his predecessor, Bonnie Hammer. All was typical
corporate speak (count the 'you knows' in this article, BTW), but then
you get near the end of the conference call when this question is
asked.

[quote]Michael Hinman: And just one quick question too about
Saturday movies because I didn’t bring it up somebody else did. You
know, has there ever been a thought about maybe bringing back Mystery
Science Theater 3000 and just marrying the two together? That’s just a
joke, I’m just kidding. But I think…

Dave Howe: I think I brought Mystery Science Theater up. I
mean it’s been a while actually since anybody – I used to get it all
the time, you know, MST3K because quite frankly that was the only
thing people ever associated with the network. And they’re, you know,
those people that don’t watch still think we’ve got MST3K on our –
clearly we haven’t the eight years I’ve been here.

We don’t have any plans to bring it back. You know, we’ve talked about
it in the past but not for four or five years. I think the thing about
MST3K is – and I’ll ask you the same question as I say to everybody
else is did you actually watch more than about, you know, 15 or 20
minutes? It’s one of those kind of one-note amusing things which I’m
not sure is sustainable for any length of time or any period of time.

So I don’t think it’s anything that we would necessary do again as an
ongoing thing but, you know, we may do it as an event or as a, you
know, one off special because I do think there’s some nostalgia around
it. And it was very funny.

Michael Hinman: Excellent. Well thanks Mr. Howe again.

Dave Howe: Thank you.
