TVLAND Marathon this weekend

Looks like we'll have a weekend full of the Brady's this weekend. I wonder if they will air the episodes in the order in which they appeared?

The episodes will not be aired in order. They start out with episode 2 -''Dear Libby'' and episode 1 - The Honeymoon isn't shown until 14 hours later . To see the schedule, go to TVLand.com and click on Fandemonium Weekend and after going through some graphics, click on schedule next to Brady Bunch. You'll see how they not only jumbled the airing of the episodes , but several won't be on at all

There are a total of 117 episodes of "The Brady Bunch", yet in a usual Fandemonium Weekend, from 6am Saturday to 6am Monday (Eastern Time), there are only 48 hours or 96 half-hour time-slots. So there are obviously going to be some episodes of "Bradys" skipped over, even if none are repeated.

The exception Fandemonium Weekend was on Labor Day weekend, which ran THREE days, from 6am Saturday thru 6am Tuesday Eastern, an additional 24 hours or 48 half-hour time-slots, giving 72 hours 144 half-hour-slots, when TVLand ran "Andy Griffith Show".

What I don't understand is why when there are less than 96 half-hour episodes, or less than 48 hour-long episodes for a Fandemonium, why TVLand will REPEAT some episodes several times, yet SKIP others! This happened with the "Munsters" Fandemonium the weekend before Halloween. There are only 70 or so episodes of "Munsters". Several were repeated, yet there was one episode NOT run: "Herrman's Peace Offering". TVLand/Nick has *NEVER* rerun this episode. They "claim" that MCA-Universal hasn't released it to them in syndication for rerun. I don't know offhand if local over-the-air stations have ever rerun this episode of "Munsters" though.
