First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- maintaining, by a media content watch list subsystem, media content watch list data representing a plurality of media content instances available for experiencing by a user, the maintaining comprising updating the media content watch list data based on at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation performed by a media content access device associated with the user;
receiving, by the media content watch list subsystem, a request for a media content watch list from the media content access device;
generating, by the media content watch list subsystem, the media content watch list based on the media content watch list data and the request; and
transmitting, by the media content watch list subsystem, data representative of the media content watch list to the media content access device for presentation to the user.

Abstract
Exemplary media content watch list systems and methods are disclosed. An exemplary method includes a media content watch list subsystem maintaining media content watch list data representing a plurality of media content instances available for experiencing by a user, receiving a request for a media content watch list from a media content access device associated with the user, generating the media content watch list based on the media content watch list data and the request, and transmitting data representative of the media content watch list to the media content access device for presentation to the user. The maintaining of the media content watch list data includes updating the media content watch list data based on at least one predetermined non-watch-list-specific operation performed by the media content access device associated with the user. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
