Explanation of entries

Each entry starts with a code, which is its production number. Episodes are listed in production number order, not production order or air date order. The MST3K episode title is next, and if the original film title is different from the MST3K episode title, the former follows in parentheses. Also in parentheses is the film's initial release year, a color/black & white notation, the production company (if known), and the country of origin (if not the United States). The next field shows the initial MST3K airdate of the episode. The last column indicates whether the episode is available on DVD, and if so, the title of the DVD collection in which it appears. If the DVD is listed as "Out of print", it will mean the DVD is no longer available on Rhino's official website/Shout's official website and Mst3k's official website.

Because The Comedy Channel referred to their first series of MST3K as "Season 1", and Comedy Central and the Sci Fi Channel continued with this numbering, the 21 episodes aired on KTMA-TV are referred to by fans as "Season 0".
