As seen from gypsyjr:

Everyone's favorite cowtown puppet show - and this is irrefutable as it's the only one - is producing "new adventures" of the 'bots. Heading the project it Jim Mallon and Paul Chaplin.

At the moment everyone seems to be... incredibly sceptical.

At least no one is angry at just the idea of a re-invention, as Rifftrax is more or less MST3K without puppets. At least there isn't any wank! Yet.

I could have sworn I read this fic before... though, it will probably lack the crossover with the gender-swaping and global trek back to Minnesota. Or the breaking into NASA. And probably the talking cat, the other talking cat, REALITY 1, the HUB, or the Holocabana won't be there either. I have no doubt there will be destruction of the Hubble, though!

My, how terribly Midwestern of them. *laughs*

That is a bit telling, but I haven't read very many interviews of the Brains, so I wasn't sure what they say about each other.

And there was also a vibe I got in the last few seasons that Mallon was doing everything he could to merchandise MST3K to make more money for himself. Similar claims were made about Gene Roddenberry in the last season of Classic Trek. But The Great Bird of the Galaxy went on to spawn more successful Trek series and movies, so maybe Mallon can do the same thing. But I don't think Mallon has nearly the same creative genius that Roddenberry had.
