Red face Could Hallmark be liein' to us, too?

Today they were supposed to air "Who Am I?" where Tootie feels insecure about bein' black, but they skipped it.

God, I really hope that they didn't skip it cause it's "controversial"---man, I don't have "Breaking Point", and I'm really wantin' to see it!

Well they aired 'Dope'...

However, it seems to me as if perhaps they're trying to avoid racial subjects? First editing the line about Tootie's people and now this episode...

I'm probably wrong though

They showed the part about her people. Maybe they'll show it later next week that episode.

What did they air instead today? Did they just go ahead and air the "Cousin Geri" episode first followed by "Shoplifting" or did they air something in the place of "Who Am I?"

I think I founda logical explanation.

This was the schedule.

Friday July 12th
5:00PM #17. Who Am I?
Tootie has an identity crisis when her new black boyfriend questions the motives of her white friends at Eastland.
5:30PM #18. Cousin Geri
A lifelong conflict is resurrected for Blair when her handicapped cousin Geri, an aspiring comedienne, pays a surprise visit on the eve of an award banquet honoring Blair.

Monday July 15th
5:00PM #19. Shoplifting
Jo convinces Tootie and Natalie that money is no object for Mrs. Garrett's birthday present. Jo's desire to give Mrs. Garrett a gift to rival wealthy Blair's, provides Mrs. Garrett a birthday surprise none of them is likely to forget.
5:30PM #20. Teenage Marriage (Part 1)
When Jo's boyfriend Eddie pops the question, Jo is torn between her own feelings and the efforts of her Eastland schoolmates to dissuade her from marriage.

Tuesday July 16th
5:00PM #21. Teenage Marriage (Part 2)
Mrs. Garrett and the girls come up with delay tactics to hold off the marriage until Jo's mother can be contacted.
5:30PM #29. Gossip
Frustrated by her exclusion from the older girls' activities, Tootie's talents for eavesdropping and gossip ignite conflict and place Mrs. Garrett's future at Eastland in doubt.

Maybe they wanted to air Teenage Marriage Part 1 and 2 on the sam day, leaving Gossip and Who Am I? to air together, since they are Tootie episodes. I mean what is teh point of airing Dope and airing Who am I? Dope is worse than Who am I? Let's just pray I have the explanation.

I just checked out the Hallmark website and now it seems as if they are skipping some episodes. I wonder why. Thank goodness it doesn't appear they are skipping Breaking Point.
And they are skipping Brian and Sylvia, no complaints there. However, I'm kinda bummed because they are not airing Teenage Marriage and Growing Pains (I wanted to get those on tape).
Someone correct me if I'm missing something but I don't see those on the schedule anymore.

Anyone know why they changed the schedule?

I sent them an email asking why they are skipping some episodes. I checked the schedule for upcoming weeks. Also they are going to skip Free Spirit, The Academy and Read No Evil.

That's very disapointing, that Hallmark will not air it in order and cut the best parts out, tell me, where did Hallmark go wrong?

Well, I know Hallmark air the episodes in production order. But I don't know why they are skipping some episodes.

And I think they're airing Where's Poppa the 2nd of August. Here's the description, but I think it's it.

Blair discovers she's the unsuspecting victim when a tax audit reveals her father has done some questionable accounting.
