After MST3K there was a local station (possibly Channel 21) that ran a series on Saturday nights (?) - not Martinee at the Bijou either - some time in the 80's (sorry, can't be more precise) where they ran a series of a dozen or so "alternative classics" like this.
OK, I found it, It was 1986 and called The Canned Film Festival. Some of the "highlights":
The Terror of Tiny Town Santa Claus Conquers the Martians Robot Monster The Crawling Hand They Saved Hitler's Brain Untamed Women Bride of the Monster Las Vegas Hillbillys

Who can forget this one, even when they try?
Now that one was memorable. Bad, but memorable. They ran that series of bad movies with a lot of stuff like ROBOT MONSTER and this one.
I wish they'd bring it back.

Do you speak of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 or MATINEE AT THE BIJOU or something else again, Jeff?

That's actually before MST3K. They got rolling in 1989.
