Which order do you watch episodes of cartoons in?

[MoonKnight]

Always in the Official Wikipedia Order if I can, especially if it's my first time watching a new series.  If I've already seen the series many times and am completely familiar with the episodes I might choose to just watch favourites or episodes at random though.

Release order is the intended order.

Are you saying that you believe air order is the order they are intended to be watched in?

[ragnawind]

For a lot of cartoons, it doesn't really matter. However, for those with an actual continual plot like Avatar, I watch in the order they air, when I watch them at all.  Shows like Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, etc. doesn't matter about the order. Anime (Japanese cartoon) I always watch in release order, though.

I always try to watch in the order that they aired. But usually I just go by the numbering.

[DenDuval]

Chronologically, according to the show's timeline if possible. That also watching means flashback episodes first despite having no context to it.

[Legit]

Release order for the most part

[pinkmattered]

Official episode numbering as found on Wikipedia, because that usually includes notes depending on whether certain episodes were originally supposed to air in a different order

[Tanis]

Official, usually.

[Nardlen]

I always go by the Wikipedia order, regardless of the episode air date.

Depends on the show. Sometimes Wikipedia isn't accurate. Or I don't care because the chronology doesn't matter. But if it does then I do put the effort to make sure I'm watching in the order intended by the show runners/writers.

I usually watch the episodes in the order they are numbered in the download.
