Do you think that Good Time swould make more sense in a different airing order? No I am not talking about the damn production order scheme that most synidacators do, I mean diffrently to reflect storylines and situations?

Here's one example. Remember in "Black Jesus" when James came home with lots of gifts from the IRS? He said "remember all that money was spent on your operation, Florida?" He was talking about the appendectomy that she had in "Getting up the Rent" which was the next episode in airing order. Would it have been better if "Getting up the Rent" aired before "Black Jesus"? Season 1 should have ended with J.J.'s birthday two-parter, making a powerful finale.

Or how about the entire story arc revolving around Florida's operation and J.J.'s outrageous dentist bill. That should have been grouped in a block of episodes.

Or what if the multi-part episodes ended one season and began in another? Now THAT would have been some good cliffhangers. In James's death two-parter. The first part of the episode should have ended the 3rd season and the second-part should have began the 4th season. Or is it better the way it is?
It would have been cool if the season finale of teh 4th season was Penny's introduction to the series. The first two-parts would have closed the season, leaving the audience wondering throughout the summer what happened to Penny, and Season 5 would have began with the last 2-parts where Penny gets adopted. Oh, what would have been?
Same thing with Season 6. Season 5 should ahve ended with Florida's return home and Season 6 should have picked up with Keith and Thelma's wedding.
It might have gotten a bigger audience. Just look at Knots Landing's cliffhangers and openers for a good example. What do you all think?

Yes to the first question since Getting Up the Rent was the first produced ep and Black Jesus was the second produced episode
