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.
