Seems like Encore is gonna skip an episode. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For this Thursday it's listing a season 1 episode. When, the show is almost through season 3. The episode they are skipping is "Could This Be Magic?"

Anyone know why they are skipping this one?

I don't know, but Friday's episode of Diff'rent Strokes was "The Squealer" and today's episode is "The Magician." That means they just skipped over 16 episodes.

Nevermind, I guess they're just doing that so they can show parts 1 & 2 of "The Accident" during the same week.

Sorry for getting off topic.

They are playing "The Bank Job part 1" (the opening of Season 3) tomorrow night. I think they just got DS out of order.

But, I don't see them listing that missing Night Court episode for at least the next 2 weeks. I would have though Encore, which is a premium channel. Would do better than this.

EDIT: Saw your reply. Maybe Encore is doing the same to Night Court that way so they can show both episodes of Hurricane the same week.

I've been binge-watching the episodes in Encore's On Demand section recently, and they've had all episodes available from the 1st 3 seasons except for "Could This Be Magic". I was hoping this was just a fluke and was keeping an eye on when it would actually air on the daily schedule on Encore. But after reading this thread, it sounds like they're going to skip it here too. I wonder what the problem could be with this one particular episode.

Does anyone know if it was aired on the other stations that aired NC over the years? Like TV Land, A&E, etc.

EDIT: Apparently it had been aired on other channels. Because, I watched a copy from a VHS of it last night (it was recorded from Bio)

This episode is hilarious. I have no idea why they aren't showing it. Harry's reaction to getting robbed was priceless. When he walked into his apartment and everything was missing. The look on his face.

The episode isn't offensive at all. And, there's really nothing on there that would cause a channel not to air it. Maybe they just lost the tape or something.

Bumping to say that they are actually going to air this episode tomorrow! 6/12 at 5:30PM EST. I still wonder why it didn't play the first go around though? Hmm..
