The original run probably included a handful of episodes that ran in an hourlong format on NBC, but were split into two parts for syndication, causing the difference.

Oohhh, that's probably it, thanks; I hadn't considered that. Were there really 7 hour-long episodes though? That seems like a lot.

Okay, I just answered my own question by clicking on Wikipedia's list of episodes:

"A total of 173 episodes were produced, including seven one-hour episodes."

Wow, there really were 7 hour-long episodes...who knew?

The hour-long shows were:

Season 3
"Golden Moments"

Season 4
"We're Outta here"

Season 5
"The President's Coming! The President's Coming!"

Season 6
"Never Yell Fire in a Crowded Retirement Home"

Season 7
"The Monkey Show"
"A Midwinter Night's Dream"
"One Flew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest"
