227 Syndication Package? I thought since the Pilot was rejected and it never took off that it would never been shown in syndication. I thought it would only been in the syndication package if Mary was in the pilot episode.

Well, it was considered an episode of 227 so it would only make sense for them to include it.

I don't consider it a 227 ep when it was different opening credits and new characters. It surley didn't have the 227 theme song-lol

It wasn't an episode of 227. It was just syndicated as one just like the Ropers episodes on TC .

The episode guide on tv.com includes it as the last episode before the season finale in season four. It did mentioned that this episode came on a Thursday night. I still would argue that it would be a part of 227 and the network could have ordered a backdoor pilot for a spinoff.

Do you remember The Audit episode where Lester and Mary spent the entire episode in the diner and we saw more dialogue from other characters? On TV Tome, some people considered that another backdoor pilot.

Well The fact that Jackee came on a Thursday Night, with a different opening theme, It can be considered a 227 ep.

It is a bit weird. When I saw this pilot on NBC, I just assumed it was a new show, not an episode of 227.

Maybe the Jackee was included in the 227 syndication package because of PEARL making a guest apperance at the end. Other than that I can't think of why it would be included

I felt the same way about the episode of Sanford and Son that didn't have Fred and Lamont but was about Grady.

Also the pilot for Empty Nest is out of place.

Well the Grady ep was a little different because we still saw Rollo and Grady was in the Sanford Home in the beginning of the episode. Sandra on 227 was in a completely different city-lol

Its not that different. Because if I remember correctly, Pearl was in this episode. She wasnt all through it, but she was in it for a lil minute.

I saw this episode on local syndication and it featured the 227 opening and credits. It all depends on how the syndicators mark it. Some like TVOne leave it as is and others use the edited version to blend in like a regular episode. I think NBC really had their hopes up that this show would be a hit with the audiences and they even put it on after Cosby, which was doing extremely well at the time.
