Interesting to note that the film date for "Support Your Local Mother" is 08/28/1970, but its production code number is 7002.

Unfortunately, if there's one thing I learned about production codes, it's that they DO NOT always represent the filming or taping order of episodes for a TV show. Sometimes, they do, but other times, they don't.

I'm fascinated by dates, so I found this to be very interesting. Thanks!

Thanks for compiling this list. I'd love to find such a list for every sitcom, if possible, especially those filmed in front of a studio audience, since they would have most if not all the filming completed on one day.
The only date that I would question is the pilot filming date of 7/3/70. I have read and seen on the S1 DVD that the original filming of the pilot, which was disastrous, was June 2 (I think it was called Black Tuesday.), and I thought that the pilot was filmed 3 days later on Friday, June 5. However footage shown of the "Black Tuesday" filming showed a completely different office set for Lou Grant, so the pilot really may have been filmed 4 weeks later, as your list indicates.
I have a copy of the TV Guide issue dated 2/26/72, whose cover article followed a week's filming of the show. The episode filmed that was covered in the article was "The Slaughter Affair", which according to your list was filmed back in Oct. 1971. It had already aired the month before the article was published, which shows that TV Guide took even longer than the show's production time to get an article from inception to publication.
Some sitcom books, such as those for I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show, provide a full list of episode film dates. The DVDs for The Lucy Show provide film dates for each episode of that series too, and the Seinfeld DVDs provide the same in their "Notes about Nothing". I don't know if there was ever a book written about this show, but it would make interesting reading if there is.

In looking at a page of the pilot script from "Love is All Around", the script was written on June 24, 1970, it was revised on July 1, 1970, and was filmed on July 3, 1970.

Thank you. From this, it seems like "Bess You is My Daughter Now" was filmed on stage on 7/10/1970 and the great exteriors were done on 7/13/1970, so it's safe to say that the show was completed on 7/13/1970. "Today I am a Ma'am" must have been done on 7/17/1970.

I've always questioned whether some of the first season episodes were aired out of sequence.

For instance, 'The Forty Five Year Old Man' seems to be one of the first episodes, based on the fact that Ted Baxter thinks Gordy is a sportscaster, despite the fact that they've been working together all season.

And in 'Just A Lunch' at Murray's house Mary tells Ted that it's nice to see him out of the office, even though Ted had already been to Mary's apartment.

Seems like these episodes were some of the first filmed.

And in 'Just A Lunch' at Murray's house Mary tells Ted that it's nice to see him out of the office, even though Ted had already been to Mary's apartment.

Seems like these episodes were some of the first filmed.

In the book "Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted" it's explained that "The 45-Year-Old Old Man" was a very problematic script that everyone hated, so they kept tweaking it and shooting it in bits and pieces throughout the season, finally airing it last. It's still the cast and crew's least favorite episode.

Excellent! Thanks for your hard work, hch

And thanks for your information, snowpeck!

[07/17/1970] Today I Am A Ma'am (Original Air Date 9/26/1970)
[07/13/1970] Bess, You Is My Daughter Now (Original Air Date 10/3/1970)

Great work! This one thing caught my eye: 3rd episode aired ("Bess, You Is My Daughter Now") was filmed on July 13, 1970, and the 2nd aired episode ("Today I Am A Ma'am") was filmed on July 17, 1970. July 13 was a Monday and July 17 was Friday of that same week. That was a very busy week! Granted, there had been 10 days between "Love Is All Around" (Friday, July 3, 1970) and "Bess, You Is My Daughter Now" (Monday, July 13, 1970).

acually, "Bess, You is My Daughter Now" was filmed in studio on July 10, 1970 but the outdoor sequence was filmed on July 13, 1970, so that date reflected when photography on this episode was actually completed. It was sorta the same case with "The Seminar" in Season 6- the episode was filmed in studio on Oct 24, 1975 but the brief scene with Betty Ford at the phone was filmed at a hotel in Washington D.C. on Nov 17, 1975. Productions are known to do that from time to time- film one part in a studio and film another part later in time and then piece it together in one completed episode.

I have been on the throes of putting another production guide of another classic show together. Now I am tackling the classic sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". I have been scouring scripts, CBS press photos, CORBIS images, news articles, and things like that to find some filming dates for these episodes and the information I found was really astonishing. Here is what I have thus far, now if anyone has any information about these film dates, PLEASE feel free to correct or let me know.

Unfortunately, if there's one thing I learned about production codes, it's that they DO NOT always represent the filming or taping order of episodes for a TV show. Sometimes, they do, but other times, they don't.

jehobden Member Senior Member Join Date: Jan 06, 2002 Location: DFW Area, TX Posts: 2,004	Thanks for compiling this list. I'd love to find such a list for every sitcom, if possible, especially those filmed in front of a studio audience, since they would have most if not all the filming completed on one day. The only date that I would question is the pilot filming date of 7/3/70. I have read and seen on the S1 DVD that the original filming of the pilot, which was disastrous, was June 2 (I think it was called Black Tuesday.), and I thought that the pilot was filmed 3 days later on Friday, June 5. However footage shown of the "Black Tuesday" filming showed a completely different office set for Lou Grant, so the pilot really may have been filmed 4 weeks later, as your list indicates. I have a copy of the TV Guide issue dated 2/26/72, whose cover article followed a week's filming of the show. The episode filmed that was covered in the article was "The Slaughter Affair", which according to your list was filmed back in Oct. 1971. It had already aired the month before the article was published, which shows that TV Guide took even longer than the show's production time to get an article from inception to publication. Some sitcom books, such as those for I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show, provide a full list of episode film dates. The DVDs for The Lucy Show provide film dates for each episode of that series too, and the Seinfeld DVDs provide the same in their "Notes about Nothing". I don't know if there was ever a book written about this show, but it would make interesting reading if there is.

From this, it seems like "Bess You is My Daughter Now" was filmed on stage on 7/10/1970 and the great exteriors were done on 7/13/1970, so it's safe to say that the show was completed on 7/13/1970. "Today I am a Ma'am" must have been done on 7/17/1970.

For instance, 'The Forty Five Year Old Man' seems to be one of the first episodes, based on the fact that Ted Baxter thinks Gordy is a sportscaster, despite the fact that they've been working together all season. And in 'Just A Lunch' at Murray's house Mary tells Ted that it's nice to see him out of the office, even though Ted had already been to Mary's apartment. Seems like these episodes were some of the first filmed.

It was sorta the same case with "The Seminar" in Season 6- the episode was filmed in studio on Oct 24, 1975 but the brief scene with Betty Ford at the phone was filmed at a hotel in Washington D.C. on Nov 17, 1975. Productions are known to do that from time to time- film one part in a studio and film another part later in time and then piece it together in one completed episode.
