==Season 1==
 
==Season 1==
Episodes between S1EP1 and S1EP6 were uploaded in 1080p (The first standard 1080p video by AceOfSpadesProduc100 was the bridge between 2013 and 2014 with the Christmas and New Years video), and now in 1440p HD as of S1EP7. No episodes will be uploaded in 4K because of technical reasons. The quality returned to 720p as of Season 3 Episode 5.

This season is what started it all, and had some of the biggest gaps in content standards and quality out of any season. The first several episodes retained much of the quality and styles of videos from the previous year, and then started to shift away more as of episode 8.

===Main Plot===
Season 1 is mainly based on early [[Thunderbirds101]] FWE Seasons. The series dramatically shifted in original content in Episode 5, such as with the introduction to the earth rift, which was known as the "White Hole" at the time. [[Oxy Burgers]], a laxative, was introduced as a joke in Episode 8. In S1EP9, Sam played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES, and again three seasons later. In S1EP10, the NSA Seizes itself again after Sam believed that the International Tacos Association was the work of the NSA, and Sam encounters the [[Moving Victoria Virus]]. In the season 1 finale, The Viacom V of Doom crashes the video, The Moving Victoria Virus Returns on Sam as well as the NSA Agent, and The ABC Clock Virus appears.

Only episodes 1-7 are still known today, until more episodes are reuploaded.

Each episode may contain the same running gags as S1EP10 and Season 1 Finale. S2EP1 was released on October 23, 2014, S2EP2 on October 25. This was the only season with the shortest timeslots, with an episode released every 1 or 2 days.

Season 3 started on December 6, 2014, and was on hiatus when AOSP100 closed his account, the final episode of the series (S3EP4) was uploaded on December 23, 2014. He returned to YouTube with the release of Episode 5 on July 23, 2016. The release of episode 8 became the first time that an episode was released on the same day as the previous episode. The second half of this season showed the most 3D material in the entire series, and also with much bigger ranges of length.

Season 3 started on December 6, 2014, ending the classical era at episode 4 after the closure of Ace's first account. After the series was brought back a year and a half later upon episode 5's release, the program used was changed to Blender, starting a brand new era of 3D-animated TTS content.

*In Episode 7, released on October 1, 2016, as well as Episode 8, the older concepts of Ace's characters from 2014 appeared to yell at Sam for throwing them out in [[Microsoft Sam's CD-i Intro Bloopers|CD-I Intro Bloopers Episode IV]]. The Caveman AI and the Engrish AI were introduced after that, and then later stopped after a deus ex machina which even Ace himself finds unsettling and cringeworthy.
 
*In Episode 8, the time travel sequence reappeared since Season 2, late Season 1, or early Season 3. For some reason, for the first time since Season 2, this episode was created in less than a day, despite a lot of ideas written since September 17, 2016.

This season was the first to rely on errors from DeviantArt, particularly those from [http://fluffyferret97.deviantart.com FluffyFerret97]. The first two episodes were filler, but since episode 3, story and actual work started to become the dominant aspect in the series, and it may as well shift to dramedy or a different side.

Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors is the series that really kickstarted Ace’s popularity. Running since February 2014, Sam goes on (mis)adventures while reading error boxes that can serve as gags, fortunes, headlines, warnings, snarks, etc. Viewers can submit their own to be used in future episodes, which are known as error requests. Over time, the series's tone faded from dense and wacky with emphasis on comedy, to a dramedy with emphasis on plot and story and with matured characters.

Season 1

This season is what started it all, and had some of the biggest gaps in content standards and quality out of any season. The first several episodes retained much of the quality and styles of videos from the previous year, and then started to shift away more as of episode 8.

Main Plot

Only episodes 1-7 are still known today, until more episodes are reuploaded.

Season 2

Each episode may contain the same running gags as S1EP10 and Season 1 Finale. S2EP1 was released on October 23, 2014, S2EP2 on October 25. This was the only season with the shortest timeslots, with an episode released every 1 or 2 days. Only episode 3 is still up as of 2019 September 9.

Main Plot

Season 2 works a lot like Season 1. The wormhole returns after seven months since S1EP5, and a month since S1EP10 and then S2EP4 brought back the OS-switching scene.

Season 3

Season 3 started on December 6, 2014, ending the classical era at episode 4 after the closure of Ace's first account. After the series was brought back a year and a half later upon episode 5's release, the program used was changed to Blender, starting a brand new era of 3D-animated TTS content.

Main Plot

Season 4

This season ended the 3D era
