very few episodes have all the regulars - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

At least until year 9 when the regular cast became George, Louise, the Willises and Florence there aren't that many episodes that have all 8 or 9 people who were official regulars at the time that the episode aired. I can only think of the pilot, A Friend in Need, Piano Man, the episode where Lionel and Jenny get married, the 2 part episode where Florence is abducted, (I think but am not sure about) the one that introduced Jay Hammer as Alan Willis, (I think but am not sure of) the one where Lionel and Jenny announce that they're having a baby, the ones where Jessica is born, the one where George tells Jessica a fairy tale about inflation, at least part 1 of the Hawaii episode and the Dallas take-off where Florence writes a soap opera. Are there any others that I overlooked?

I guess we could say any episode before the middle of season 8. By mid-year 8, Lionel, Jenny and Bentley were no longer regulars, although Jenny was still seen until the end of year 9 as a guest star. If I remember right Bentley and Lionel were in episodes that aired in year 8 but were actually produced in year 7 (year 7 only had 20 episodes because of an actor's strike and because they ended the year early to start Florence's spinoff.) Lionel was in 2 other episodes in year 8 that were made for year 8 as well I believe, but Bentley was written out as being in Russia until midyear 10. What I don't remember definitively is when the main titles changed to reflect these changes. I believe they kept billing those actors all throughout year 8 and changed the main titles at the start of year 9. Does anyone remember for a fact if this is true?
