If anyone has any info about the production of the series, please feel free to add or contribute. Here we go (Airdates in bold):

Do the script dates represent the final completed drafts for each of the episodes, before shooting could begin on them?

[hch]

Most of those dates I got were from the DeForest Script collection from the Online Archive of California. Some dates were from the Scriptcity.com website. I even looked up some corbisimage photos from the production of the episodes. It's also amazing that some episode scripts were written but never produced (There was quite a number of them) and some episodes weren't even listed by their aired title name but under different titles. (ex: "Pretty Angels All in a Row" was titled "Along came a Spider") Until I have all of the correct inofrmation verified, this is the episode information I have. I might have to go back over them and do some more research but if you or anyone else knows anything, please feel free to contribute.

hch, a bit late here, but you're missing the pilot that pre-dated the inaugural season. It was filmed in July of 1975.
