What an asshole. He's talking about a television show that lasted 10
seasons. I guess he has some other definition of "sustainable" that
contradicts the commonly understood version. I'm amazed that he's able to
become President of a television network, even if it is a grade C basic
cable channel.
The only way MST3k is "one note amusing" is if you make the phrase so
general as to remove any practical meaning from it. You could say the same
thing about any sitcom. In fact, that's why most of them are successful.

I suspect his scientific polling actually only polled one person. And it's
amusing, because read what the guy said and realize just how blind he is.
" I used to get it all the time, you know, MST3K because quite frankly that
was the only thing people ever associated with the network."
And he says that only started petering out 4 to 5 years after the show was
cancelled. Golly, why don't people associate your network with your
wrestling shows, your bad original movies or your forgettable cliche series?
You've only had a decade to get your viewers in line!
