List of Productions Similar to MST3K

The following lists various TV shows that were similar in nature to Mystery Science Theater 3000. Some of them have the same kind of spoofing premise where one or more TV show hosts talk between or during (or both) a B-grade movie that is playing. Some of these pre-date MST3K but to be fair it wasn't the first, just one of the more popular ones to become better known.

Some of the shows are also just similar in humor, have MST3K inspired material, have MST3K cast and crew involved or also involve some kind of movie spoofing gimmick. It's also key to note that some of these are internet only, audio downloads only or recurring/past live annual riffing events.

This list also doesn't include any TV specials but you can find them listed here on this wiki.
