missing episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TV Land never aired eppy #95 ("it's a Bird, It's a Plane"), the one that has the jet pack. Wonder why?..........They also edited #96 ("The Pigeon"). When the prisoner is freed, he keeps saying "We're free...We're free...", and the or. eppy shows the castaways at the beach. In the repeats, this was cut down to the "We're free..." words, and later on, it was cut out altogether!

I asked this very same question not long ago, maybe 6 months ago. Rather than give me the specific reason, they gave me a general explanation for all missing episodes in any series. They told me that it may have been damaged beyond the point to where they are able to air it on television, and it would be too costly to make another company from the original. Also, they said that some rights to the shows they own or rent allows them only to ai specific episodes a certain number of times. After the maximum amount of times the episode has been aired, TV Land simply has to skip over the episode, as other episodes may not have the same restriction. One other possibilty is that the episode may not have been part of the syndication package that the television network got. I hope this helps!

I wish they'd air "X-Marks the Spot"

All this will soon be a moot point because they complete unedited series is likely to be on DVD soon.

S2 is already a certainty which means that S3 is almost a certainty as well.

We can watch any episode anytime we want.

Is season two really for sure, or are you just assuming?
