This list does seem to align closely with my episode numbering, which was taken from the air dates on Amazon.com. Unfortunately the episode ordering, even if these were original air dates, isn't close to being right.

E.g. The episode 16th episode on the list for season 4 appears to be the first episode of the season. Charle's mother still has the pizza parlour, the new room (which becomes Charle's new room) is being built, and the character of Anthony is introduced.

I agree with you. But networks airing episodes out of order is nothing new. I am going to do a review of my research from Season 4, All I can say, is what I posted above is coming from TV Guides from multiple TV markets:

Milwaukee, WI
Madison, WI
Green Bay, WI
Chicago, IL
Boston, MA
Columbus, OH
New York, NY

By far this and other syndicated sitcoms: Small Wonder and Mama's Family have been the most challenging TV Shows that I have researched thus far. If anyone has something to add or to correct in the list, let me know. If I come across new info, I will certainly update the list.

Hoggle · 09-19-2009, 04:13 AM

Based on story continuity, the "Casts Per Episodes List" posted recently appears to be the most correct ordering I have seen to date.

In season 4 there are some key things I have identified to look out for, the most significant of which is the addition of the lock in Charle's room. Based on that and some other things (Anthony being in the opening credits, the Yesterday Cafe, and Buddy dating the nurse), the "Casts Per Episode List" has matched my expectations in season 4 with one exception. The episode "Walter Gets A Dodo" features the lock not installed until the next episode "Adam See, Adam Do".

At the present time, this is the season 4 ordering I have...

401 Room At The Bottom
402 Yesterday Cafe
403 No Nukes Is Good Nukes
404 Ninny And The Professor
405 Sting Of Pearls
406 Dueling Presleys
407 Adam See, Adam Do
408 Walter Gets A Dodo
409 Ladies' Night Out
410 Fatal Obsession
411 Still At Large
412 Chargin' Charles
413 A Fish Called Buddy
414 Curing The Common Cult
415 Walter's War
416 Second Banana
417 Poetic License
418 Charles Splits, Part 1
419 Charles Splits, Part 2
420 The Organization Man
421 Aunt Vanessa
422 Bad Boy
423 Big Bang
424 Triple Threat
425 Buddy's Daddy
426 It's A Blunderful Life

I'm also interested in any further information which can help refine this.

Here is a more in depth Season 4 airdate list including some repeats. This is based on one set of TV Guides I have for the Columbus, OH Market. My Wisconsin Market issues are in storage and when I get a chance to look at them again, I will update this. I am 95% sure Room at the Bottom did not air until 7/1/89 because then it repeated on 8/19/89 and for the most part there is a consistent repeating pattern.

The airdates missing info below, means the Columbus, OH market TV Guide did not have a description available.

In season 4 there are some key things I have identified to look out for, the most significant of which is the addition of the lock in Charle's room. Based on that and some other things (Anthony being in the opening credits, the Yesterday Cafe, and Buddy dating the nurse), the "Casts Per Episode List" has matched my expectations in season 4 with one exception. The episode "Walter Gets A Dodo" features the lock not installed until the next episode "Adam See, Adam Do". At the present time, this is the season 4 ordering I have... 401 Room At The Bottom 402 Yesterday Cafe 403 No Nukes Is Good Nukes 404 Ninny And The Professor 405 Sting Of Pearls 406 Dueling Presleys 407 Adam See, Adam Do 408 Walter Gets A Dodo 409 Ladies' Night Out 410 Fatal Obsession 411 Still At Large 412 Chargin' Charles 413 A Fish Called Buddy 414 Curing The Common Cult 415 Walter's War 416 Second Banana 417 Poetic License 418 Charles Splits, Part 1 419 Charles Splits, Part 2 420 The Organization Man 421 Aunt Vanessa 422 Bad Boy 423 Big Bang 424 Triple Threat 425 Buddy's Daddy 426 It's A Blunderful Life I'm also interested in any further information which can help refine this.
