===Turkey Day marathons===
An annual event in the Comedy Central era was the Turkey Day marathon that ran on or near the [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] holiday. The marathon would show between six and twelve rebroadcasts of episodes, often with new material between the episodes from the cast and crew.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/24/turkey-day-an-mst3k-tradition/ | title = Turkey Day, an 'MST3K' tradition | publisher = CNN | date = November 24, 2011 | access-date = February 23, 2016 | archive-date = March 7, 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160307080317/http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/24/turkey-day-an-mst3k-tradition/ | url-status = dead }}</ref> While the show was on Sci-Fi, one Thanksgiving Day marathon of ''MST3K'' was held during its first season, but lacked any new interstitial material.<ref name="avclub turkey day"/>
