Mistake on Disk 5 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Madame X · 10-20-2009, 12:32 AM

There is a discrepancy about the airdate order of three episodes in Season 1 which appear on disk 5.

The DVD booklet and case have it this way:
3/25-Slight Case of Disaster
4/1-Pen Pals
4/8-The Friendship Bit
(Pen Pals comes first on the disk)

IMDb's list:
3/25-Pen Pals
4/1-The Friendship Bit
4/8-Slight Case of Disaster

tv.com:
3/25-Pen Pals
4/1-Slight Case of Disaster
4/8-The Friendship Bit

Does anyone know the actual airdate order?

I'm on disc 5 now and to be honest I hadnt noticed any mistake. Then again its been about 15 years since I have seen all the episodes.

It's not obvious, but the episode order on disk 5 doesn't match the order printed in the booklet or on the keepcase. It's not a huge deal, it's just interesting that each source I referred to lists a different order for those 3 episodes.

Slight Case Of Disaster was the 28th episode filmed, Pen Pals was the 29th episode filmed. But they originally aired in reverse order. I generally prefer to have the episodes in production order as opposed to airdate order when it comes to DVD's of TV shows. But most of the time, studios go with the original airdate order.

Thanks for the info. Production order makes more sense with continuity. Airdates can put episodes out of order and create confusion.

My preference is the order in which the showed aired. It's the order that people saw if they watched the show when it originally aired. That's good enough for me.
