Joel Hodgson, the creator and original host of Mystery Science Theater 3000, shared an update with backers after the show’s Season 14 fundraiser failed to meet its goal.On the official MST3K fundraiser website, Hodgson acknowledged the disappointing news regarding Season 14 of the show. “While we’re incredibly grateful for all of the support, enthusiasm, and encouragement, it’s clear we’ve fallen short of our goal this time,” Hodgson said. “First, to be clear, please understand that that means that no one will be charged anything, and we will not be collecting anything that you pledged to this campaign, since the agreement was that we’d only collect funds if we reached our minimum goal. No charges will be put on anyone’s credit cards. Second, and more important, please know that we’re incredibly grateful for all of your input, feedback, concerns and questions, and are thinking about all the suggestions you have made over the past month.”On Nov. 10, 2015, Hodgson launched the Bring Back Mystery Science Theater 3000 fundraiser on Kickstarter. The initial goal was set at $2 million for three episodes but grossed over $6 million for the production of 14 episodes and a holiday special. The MST3K 2015 Kickstarter bested the $5.70 million raised for the Veronica Mars movie but was surpassed by the Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina Kickstarter of over $11 million. The new era of MST3K, hosted by Jonah Heston and the bots, premiered on Netflix for two seasons before the streaming giant canceled the show.
