The logo for Turkey Day '94.
Turkey Day '94 was the fourth annual Thanksgiving marathon of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes run on Comedy Central. It aired from 8:00 PM, November 23 to 12:00 AM on November 25, 1994.
Fourteen episodes were shown in all. As in the previous year, Comedy Central offered the Brains a tiny amount of money to make sketches to present each episode, and again the Brains turned them down. This time, Comedy Central turned to Adam West, who appeared in the episode Zombie Nightmare. In each intro, West would cook up a turkey themed to the episode, much as the Mads had done during Turkey Day '92. He also appeared in some of the bumpers shown during commercial breaks.
In addition to West, actors who had appeared in other MST3K movies would make special appearances to introduce the episodes they appeared on. Robert Vaughn helped introduce Teenage Cave Man. Beverly Garland appeared following It Conquered the World, and introduced Swamp Diamonds, and Gunslinger. Mamie Van Doren appeared following Girls Town and introduced Gamera vs. Zigra. In addition, Garland and Van Doren were shown in some of the bumpers.
