MST3K Timeline in Chronological Order

My previous MST3K  timeline showed the events of the host segments in the order that the characters experienced them. Yhis onr shows them in "historical" order. The show's continuity was straightforward during the Comedy Central years.  It was only during the Sci-Fi Channel  years that it started getting convoluted.
