When I first started doing the episode guide, one of the things I began to notice in the comments was people talking about whether this or that episode was their “regular rotation.” Which delighted me, because how many other TV shows from the 1990s do people have defined viewing habits about?

Alert regular Rick is curious about yours:

I have been watching MST for 13 years since cancellation. How I pick episodes to view, and when to watch them, have varied over the years.
When my kids were young, we’d take 197 pieces of paper, number them with each episode and place them in a hat for a drawing. While often we didn’t agree, whatever number that was picked was that night’s episode.
Later, I watched the show in numerical order- from 2002- early 2008 going through the series nearly four times.
Two episodes weekly were viewed, commencing at 11 p.m. in the basement on Friday and Saturday nights.
For the next couple of years, episodes were picked at random, or, situations. (One time my GF was making stew, I knew I had to watch “Track of the Moon Beast.”)
Times viewed were on a supply and demand basis. If my lovely GF wanted to watch episodes, I’d dig deep and surprise her with “EEGAH” or “A Touch of Satan”
We had our own Turkey Day Marathon, as well as other weekend marathons on a whim. Does anyone out there plan on their own personal Turkey Day Marathon this year? If so, what episodes are you watching?
Lately there are two things going on- I have been watching every Sunday from 6-8 PM (the original slot for the KTMA gang) – it’s real comfort food and a nice way to wind down from the weekend and get ready to watch Dexter.
I’ve also resurrected the Friday and Saturday 11 p.m. slot — something tells me that’s when the show is best viewed.
Presently, I’m moving season to season- one night select one from season nine and move to season four the following.
What are some of the patterns do the members of this board developed over the years?

Well, I used to watch an episode a week with my elderly mother (back when we she lived with me). She loved it. We watched it in episode number order. The notes I took during those viewings were the core of what is now the episode guide. And as you know, I continue to watch an episode a week in episode number order. I don’t foresee stopping that.

What’s your viewing pattern? And while we’re at it, are there any particular routines — like foods/beverages you like to consume, traditions you have, whatever?
