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. |

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. |
