History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000PilotTheGreenSlime

!!This episode provides examples of:

* Everything goes back to normal on the Satellite. Crows goes meta and foams Joel.

'''Experiment K00-The Green Slime''' is the unaired 14 minute pilot of Mystery Science Theater 3000, shown as a "proof of concept" to the management of KTMA management in the fall of 1988. In the video, Creator/JoelHodgson himself explains that he had voluntarily shot himself into space on his ship, the Satellite of Love, and was joined by his robots Crow, Gypsy, and Beeper (the prototype for Tom Servo). Interestingly, there was little to no riffing in the theater (Joel originally guided the viewer through the movie. The act of riffing evolved from that). Moreover, the theater segments themselves are extremely short, with just a few minutes of the movie shown at a time before we return to the host segment.

* Joel introduces and pets Gypsy, who acts like dog. Joel also mentions 25 other robots on the ship doing tasks and finding the Secret of Life. Beeper and Crow join Joel into the theater.

* AshcanCopy: This "episode" largely served as a trial run of the baseline concepts of the show. There is no riffing during the brief theater segments, as only a few moments are spent there before returning to the host segments.

* EnforcedMethodActing: Joel's obvious sleepiness, here the result of him and the rest of the crew working on no sleep after having built the robot props the night before, ended up as a regular aspect of his performance.

This VERY early version of MST3K had never been seen in its entirety by the fans until 2008 when Joel screened it at a con.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Lots.''
** Among the most jarring is Beeper himself, the crude door sequence, and the lack of riffing in the theater.

* TheUnintelligible: Rather than Tom Servo, Joel and Crow are joined by Beeper, who speaks in beeps that Crow has to translate. The reasons this was changed for the series should be pretty obvious.
