SKIPPING episodes when airing sitcoms? I have started watching Laverne and Shirley on Lifetime and they have already started skipping eps and have been airing the episodes in a STRANGE order because it's not production or airdate order. So just wondering if Lifetime does the same thing with other shows like the Golden Girls.

well, when Lifetime started showing Ellen again in the late night hours, they started midway into season 2 (actually, an episode that aired in Feb 1995), but they've showed basically every episode since then, except I don't get why they started with that one episode

Yeah Lifetime starts airing L&S eps this week from the middle of season 2. I don't know why they are doing that.

Lifetime does a terrible job with Unsolved Mysteries. They go from the 3rd season to the 8th season then to the 6th season then up to the 11th season sometimes in the same week.

It's annoying if you ask me.

Lifetime is making N@N look better.

Brent88 · 03-13-2004, 05:36 PM

No... not yet.

N@N would have to dramatically improve to even be close.

WEll in N@N defense, they may do a horrible editing job but they atleast air episodes in order. Not some CRAZY order like Lifetime.

Lifetime does that on every show except their dramas that are still airing.

Well i guess i should just be thankful L&S is baCK on and record as many eps as I can but the order they are airing the eps is AWFUL.

TVJunkie101 · 03-13-2004, 07:17 PM

I just realized that today, LOL.

I was marking the episodes I had, and just by looking at the list of titles, I knew right away two episodes were skipped (10 aired this week, we are up to #13).

It's annoying, to say the least, but I'm glad at least it's back on and I can tape.

BTW, they've skipped #'s 4 & 7, and for some reason I think 9 & 12. Am I right?

ETA: They are up to #14 "From Suds to Stardom" (so 4 episodes have been skipped so far; ugh)

Look like Lifetime will not show Episodes 4 and 9

dawsongirl · 03-13-2004, 11:14 PM

They did that was the Nanny finale. I've seen it, but not since 99 and I wanted to see it again. But nooo...they skipped it.

Maybe they just chose an episode out of a hat.

I found out on tv-now.com, that episodes 4 and 7 will be shown. I don't know right off hand when episode 7 will be showed but episode number 4 is scheduled to air on lifetime on march 29th.
