Does anyone else find it a little strange that they waited until the fourth episode of season 7 to introduce Cousin Pam? I mean, she was in the opening credits right from the start of the season, and during the summer they made a big deal about her addition to the upcoming season, but she didn't make her actual debut until four episodes later.

I wonder if back in 1990, some viewers who hadn't heard about the addition of cousin Pam watched the first three episodes of season 7 and wondered who the heck that girl at the end of the new opening credits was supposed to be.

Yeah, that was a little bit weird.
