Why is season 6 messed up? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was curious if anyone knew why season 6 is out of order so badly? Tube Time is airing these episodes in the order it was aired and you have one episode where Tootie brags about getting her braces off and then the next where she's still wearing them. Then you have Jo with long hair and the next she's got it cut and then we're back to the long hair. Why did NBC air the episodes out of order for that season? Was it because of Nancy not showing up for work because she wanted a raise?

I'm pretty sure that was the reason...I bet they didn't want all of the "Jo-less" episodes to air together at the beginning of the season, so they scattered the episodes around a bit. I don't remember how many episodes she missed (just a couple I think) but then they filmed the episode for the premier and some others and just mixed in the ones they filmed without her.

And again I want to add...I really wish I had Comcast so I could watch FOL!

Yep... I'm not complaining for "out of order" shows. I still get to see the show that should have rounded out its DVD release a LONG time ago.

I wasn't complaining, I was just curious why NBC (not Tube Time) aired it that way.

It must have been weird for fans who got to see this show when it was originally on NBC to wait half a season to find out why Blair and Cliff were no longer together.
