No fair putting it up against Star Trek in the first round. Star Trek is one of the most enduring franchises in the history of television. Our little cowtown puppet show wasn't going to beat it. (And, as it turned out, neither did anything else)
But it would have been nice to see how MST3k's fanbase stacked up against some of those other shows.
Pitted against one of the most popular nerd series of all time? Let's be honest: MST3k didn't stand a chance. People would vote for Trek just based on name alone.
Making the tourney was a step up even if being pitted against the favorite in rd 1 would normally mean we were the least favorite. But these were also bracketed by having similar genre lined up.
Would have been neat to face Sabrina in rd 2 with Frank wearing the split sports hat “MST 3Sabrina”
At least we got on the bracket this year. That’s a big deal. I mean they put us against the overall #1 seed. Can’t be mad. TZ vs ST is an epic title game.
Blue Bloods and Bar Rescue? Really?
If you're gonna lose, it's best to lose to the champ.
TopGear lost in first round? How embarrassing. Also, anyone up against ST would’ve lost.

Yeah, we would never have won against Star Trek.
I want to decide who lives and who dies.
Oh I don't know.
What an asinine grouping of TV shows. At least we lost out to one of the GOATs.
 Oh, come on: we were in the same bracket as STAR TREK? TBH, I'm not sure which way I would've voted on that.
I'm ok losing to Star Trek
The face that I Love Lucy won out over Cheers makes me want to throw my keyboard across the room.
Wahhhh! Turns out I was never funny! Is one of those throwaway Trace burns that's one of my favorites

To be fair, we lost to the eventual winner, so that lessens the sting.
As a Wheel of Fortune fan, I share your pain. Our shows are iconic!

They pitted us against *Star Trek*. The deck was stacked against us from the beginning.
Maaaaan! 😥 Why couldn't we be put up against *I Love Lucy* or *Bar Rescue*?!? Could have given us a **little** hope!
As someone who only uses Pluto TV for MST3K, Rifftrax, and Star Trek, I am at peace with this outcome.
Next year will be our season, we’ve got some great young talent and our fans are more energized as ever
oh no we lost ... some ... meaningless thing ...
