You can’t stream Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Netflix anymore, because they’ve moved onto bigger and better things—well, smaller and better. …Or smaller and mostly the same, but free! Did I mention free?
We’re excited to officially announce Shout Factory TV! Stream your faves for free. Check it out: http://t.co/2UJHjAqPs2 @ShoutFactoryTV

Actually, Shout! Factory TV has a lot more than just Mystery Science Theater, including my personal favorite animated comedy, Home Movies. The free, ad-supported platform is all about the cult classics that Shout! Factory has made its business to curate, and its announced lineup so far includes:
• MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 (beginning with over 30 episodes)
• HOME MOVIES animated comedy series
• THE WEIRD AL SHOW
• IT’S GARRY SHANDLING’S SHOW
• FATHER KNOWS BEST
• DENNIS THE MENACE
• THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS

For now, it appears that the bulk—if not all—of their content is streaming directly from Hulu and also available to watch there, but you can grab the Shout! Factory TV app and stream Shout’s nostalgia-driven content directly to your TV if you happen to own a Roku streaming box.
