I hate when they do that, why can't they just show all of the epsiodes.

So far they have skipped:

Season 1- Boo-Humbug

Season 3- Gypies, Tramps and Weed, and Low in the mid 80's.

WHy do they skip eps in syndication?

To mess with our heads, that's why!

My theory is that when a network purchases a syndication package, they just don't buy all of the episodes.

I don't know if this theory is true, but I'm trying to prove it.

Now, want to hear about my thoughts on Bigfoot?

I swear sometimes I wonder if the networks are playing with a full deck.

season 1- The Big Vent

played out of order. Its supposed to come before the Truth about Will and Dogs but they decided to play it afterwards.

Yes they do, I'm going to keep track of the ones they skip or show out of order.

I wonder if they are only going to show the first three seasons because if that's the case, they will get through two seaons per month.

Season 4 started yesterday. and Season 2 started today.

It looks like what's going on is that the episode that is showed earlier in the day went from season 1 to season 4 and the later episode shows, season 3 to season 2.

so to recap they didn't play 1 episode from season 1 and 2 from season 3.

I'm glad they are showing season 4 now. Even though I'm not a big fan of the 4th season. They have some hilarious episodes from that season. A question? When can they show episodes from season 5 in syndication?

I agree with you that season 4 is not the best season but there are a few good episodes.

Season 5 will probably show up either next year or the year after next.

Boo! Humbug was showed on Halloween. That makes sense.

Season 2- Homo for the Holidays. They will probably show it during Holiday season.
