Mark Kistler's Imagination Station

The original first season of Mark Kistler's Imagination Station was created at Daniels Cablevision in Carlsbad, CA and debuted in 1993. The Lessons in Season 1 correspond to the first group of lessons in the book of the same name released the following year in 1994.

Season 2 was filmed at Daniels Cablevision in Carlsbad, CA and debuted in 1994. The lessons in Season 2 correspond to the later lessons in the book of the same name. Altogether there were 36 episodes filmed at Daniels Cablevision that correspond to the 36 lessons in the companion book. Later Seasons 1 & 2 were repackaged and rebranded for direct sale as a classroom video series and retroactively 'de-canonized' from the Imagination Station broadcast library.

1996; Season 3 of Imagination Station was the first and only season produced at KIXE Public TV in Redding, California. The lessons in Season 3 correspond to lessons A-F in Mark Kistler's book of the same name released 2 years later in 1998.

1999; Season 4 of Imagination Station was the first and only season to be filmed at KNME-TV in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The lessons in Season 4 correspond to lessons G-N in the book of the same name (Drawing in 3-D with Mark Kistler, 1998). When Imagination Station returned for Season 5 in 2009 (or the 500 & 600 series' going by the production codes) it followed an all-new format complimenting Mark's latest works at the time and did not complete the O-Z sections of the legacy Drawing in 3-D book.

Season 5 debuted on PBS in 2009 with a stripped down, but high production value, live auditorium format. The production was split into two batches of 13 episodes each. The first batch were numbered as the 500 series of episodes.

The second batch of 2009 episodes were created concurrently with "2009 - Part 1" but were given the 600 series designation by their production codes. There were a total of 26 episodes produced in 2009 between the 500 (x13) and 600 (x13) series batches.
