That's because networks that air these shows, can only show the pilot, and the finale a certain amount of times, I think it's a contractual thing.

They also can only air each season a certain amount of times, that is why most networks tend to skip around

Yep, Lifetime's episode airing can be pretty crazy. On "The Nanny," there's a 3-part episode that they ALWAYS play out of order! LOL! They start from part 3, then show the first two! Makes no sense whatsoever!

Agh, is that the one one from the sixth season where Niles finally admits to loving CC, but she laughs in his face? So they both have an arguement and end up insulting each other and quitting, but just end up in bed that night. And Fran and Max caught them. lol Those are my favorite episodes because of everything that's going on. The Niles/CC affair, Maggie getting proposed to, Fran being pregnant, the fake babies, Brighton not wanting to go school, etc.

And it always annoys me how they NEVER play it in order. I just thought they screwed up with the order just once or twice (I haven't been keeping up with the show since I'm really busy with school and work), but once summer comes, I'm going to start watching regularly again. I saw it the correct way only once in syndication, but if it's true that Lifetime never plays it in order, than what's the point?! I just might record all three episodes and watch them int he correct order one of these days.

Does that shock you?

Knowing N@N they probably shelled out some major moola to play the finale alot more. They've probably just about used up their limit on it

If that's the one, no wonder it seemed weird. Like reading a book backwards.

Yep, that's the 3-parter I'm talking about. They always air "Yetta's Lettas" first, THEN "Producers" and "Dummy Twins." so yeah, you do have to kind of put them back in order mentally LOL.

I wonder why Lifetime does that when it so obviously makes no sense!
