It feels like there were some episodes filmed way before the others, and they were just randomly dropped in throughout the year. Am I crazy, or does anyone have any knowledge or theories?

They have been showing Barbara in the baseball cap in the opening credits all this season, and the ep. is just now being shown!!

Of course it's weird and you can thank CBS for that. 1980-1981 and 1981-1982 had writer strikes and many sitcoms from that time period had episodes set aside by the networks to air at a later time.

It's in the Cards, Airport and Stick Em Up were season 6 episodes that were saved and aired during Season 7.

Other sitcoms with this same issue: Alice, Diff'rent Strokes and The Jeffersons.

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks.

Oh, and where did you come up with that? I'd be interested in seeing it.

That explains why Mark wasn't at the birthday party at the Sporting good store in "Stick em' up"!! You were right about that! ;)

Scroll down a little bit and look for Episode list & Details from: TVmaze * TV.com * TVRage.

Select either TV.com or TVRage and those lists include the production numbers.

Got it. Whenever I google "[show name] epguides" it always takes me to the TVmaze page, which of course doesn't have it. Thanks for educating.

Learning that "Stick 'Em Up" was intended as a Season 6 episode, it all makes sense now.

I'd always thought it strange that neither Mark nor Alex was at the birthday party (or at least referred to as running late or unable to attend). The first time I saw the episode, I expected one or both of them to show up late to the party and either rescue everyone or get thrown into the storeroom with them.

So season 6 really has 24 episodes, but 3 of them didn't air until the 7th season.

And season 7 also has 24 episodes, but 2 of them didn't air until the 8th season. Auntie Francine #723, and Catcher In The Mud #724.

Yeah!!! That's what I was saying!!!! ;)

I figured something was amiss when watching Hardball and Alex looked waay younger than he did a couple days before! Now it makes sense why he wasn't in Stick em Up, either. Thanks for the clarification!
