It would be interesting to learn the reasons "Clothing Drive" was aired when it was from those who make that decision. My guess is that episode was already on the shelf and they decided at some point to add it in rather than film a newer one. I'm not sure when such a decision had to be made in those days. Obviously, the network had to notify TV Guide plus major market newspapers had to be advised as well. Remember when all of those ran a quick printed synopsis of what each program was going to be about? Even though LITB was on weekly back then, some who faithfully watched the show must have noticed how things had "jumped back".
