Episodes Out Of Sequence

[shutupndance]

Watching the Season 3 DVD it is interesting to note that it looks like a handful of episodes were filmed before the actual Season Premiere broadcast judging from the footage that is used in the opening credits. They show clips from The Four Musketeers which was actually the fourth episode shot for the 3rd season and didn't air until February. Looks like they were saving that episode for later to air during February sweeps because they thought it was really strong. It's also strange because Tootie gets her new chili-bowl hairdo in Green Eyed Monster yet she's got the old one back in The Four Musketeers which aired afterwards. It could be fun to watch the episodes in sequence in the order they were shot. Cousin Geri Returns was filmed before A Friend In Deed which makes a bit more sense since it seems like they were playing up her return with her own episode yet she appears in A Friend In Deed with Blair's mom and it's not a big deal and that aired before hand. I went to the Sitcoms Online episode guide on Facts and saw the list of episodes in order as they were shot. Weird that From Russia With Love was the first episode they shot and not Growing Pains. Take a look:
