| Summer Hiatus from KTMA | |||||||||||
| The Amazing Colossal Episode Guide gives the best information from the files of Best Brains, although they | |||||||||||
| admit the dates are a bit sketchy. | |||||||||||
| Bob Bukoski has a collection of KTMA tapes with the commercials intact that helped determine dates. | |||||||||||
| Some even have a commercial for Today In Music History. | |||||||||||
| I have obtained complete KTMA weekend listings from 11/20/88 to 6/3/89. With these I have confirmed | |||||||||||
| that MST3K did air on Saturdays at 10 AM from March to May. Also, I was able to match up the voice over | |||||||||||
| the closing credits to the show that came "up next." | |||||||||||
| Finally, I compared the Temperature/ Time information that flashes on the screen during some shows and | |||||||||||
| compared it to data from the Minnesota Climatological Records. Believe it or not this helped. | |||||||||||

| 12/30/1989 | Saturday | 12n/12mid | 108 | NEW | |||||||
| Some early viewers have stated that 102 aired first. Also, an early Comedy Channel | |||||||||||
| promo (on the MST scrapbook tape) has a commercial that says "the experiment begins | |||||||||||
| with The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy." | |||||||||||
| Early viewers have also said that a new episode premiered each week for season 1. | |||||||||||
| Note: Best Brains has told us that 104 was actually the last season 1 episode taped | |||||||||||
| Also, the copyright at the end of the show is 1990 so it couldn't have aired | |||||||||||
| in November or December 1989. | |||||||||||
