Enlarge / Gobble gobble, Tom Servo! (credit: MST3K.com) Need an alternative to the usual parade and sports TV-binging on Thanksgiving day? Let us at Ars suggest six hours of Mystery Science Theater 3000 , which anybody can tune into today thanks to a free YouTube stream. The six-episode stream-a-thon begins at noon Eastern / 9 a.m. Pacific on the show’s official YouTube channel, and it stands out for a few reasons. While MST3K ‘s YouTube channel has a ton of classic episodes and clips, this marathon features the six episodes voted by series fans as bests, so it should be a good source of Thanksgiving vegetation. (The first film of the marathon, Pumaman , is a good tone-setter of what to expect today.) Even better, series creator Joel Hodgson and new Satellite of Love host Jonah Ray will be on hand to introduce those fan-selected episodes and exclusive snippets of the show’s upcoming, crowdfunded 11th season. It stands to reason, then, that other members of the revived cast, including Patton Oswalt and Felicia Day, will appear in one way or another, as well. The revived series’ return date hasn’t yet been announced, but we do know that when it launches, it will arrive on Netflix for those who didn’t crowdfund for its rebirth.
