Confused about the production numbers/tape dates/air dates, can someone help me? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was putting the episodes in production order. I like to know when all the episodes were actually TAPED, and that means arranging them in production sequence. For instance, Guess Who's Coming to the Wedding was actually episode 4, despite being the 2nd one to air. When it gets to season 4 and 6, it gets so confusing. Based on the production code, it goes

Sophia's Choice which was taped on March 31st, 1989.
Foreign Exchange
Valentine's Day
Rites of Spring

That makes no sense because of the Valentines day episode! Also, in season 6, the Henny penny episode was taped on April 17th, 1989, but then the Never Yell Fire episodes were produced AFTER that and they aired on April 27th. I'm so confused. There's no way a 2-parter aired only 3 days after taping (since it should've been April 24th), unless since it was a clip show it was produced much earlier but the prod code was the last one. I can probably say the same for Rites of Spring but that one had new footage in it, as does Valentine's Day. The production codes for Golden Palace were really screwed up as well but I figured it out.

Because it is and I'm genuinely curious and I have every right to ask on here?
