Skipped Ropers Episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Ropers ended its current cycle on Antenna TV tonight, with the "Mother's Wake" episode.

I noticed they skipped an episode. The episode "Old Flames", where Stanley gets jealous when Helen's old boyfriend makes contact. I know they're cut but I've been taping them and this seems stupid to skip an episode. Has Antenna TV pulled this before?

They actually only showed the Rummage Sale on the midnight showing late Sunday/early Monday then showed Old Flame Monday morning. I am extremely unhappy they did this because now it gets the whole cycle off balance, meaning the two part Three's Company episodes that come later will have part 1 showing at XX:30 the first day then part 2 showing at XX:00 the next. The two parters should be shown together. What really bugs me is that the last episode is a two parter so it will get split up like that then Three's A Crowd will premiere at XX:30 and when it finishes, it's final episode will air at XX:00 and then the first episode of Three's Company at XX:30. I don't like this. I prefer everything evenly balanced.

So the Ropers came on twice on sunday nights at 1230am and 1am?

No the episode The Rummage Sale aired late Sunday/early Monday at 12:30 then Old Flame aired Monday morning at 10:30. I do see that they are going slightly out of order to air the Season 6 2 part opener Jack Bares All on the same day and I'm sure they will do the same for the Best of Three's Company with Lucille Ball but I still don't like the way the finale will air.

I hate that Lucille Ball special, that sh*t should only be on DVD
