As of this Friday, TV Land will conclude the first run-through of MFM episodes. Since I missed taping the first week's worth, I've been looking forward to this. I want to get the missed episodes on tape. (I've gotten all the others during the current run.) The thing is, TV LAND (because they use #500 to represent the first episode, and #1 to represent the 2nd episode), have negligently left the first episode, the pilot, the one that shows Martin crash, OUT of the 2nd run through! They won't show it again until the end of the 2nd run and the start of the 3rd. IN SEPTEMBER! While this is apparently because of their calling it #500, it doesn't explain why they haven't scheduled it to be shown at the end of the FIRST run/beginning of the 2nd. Now I have to wait for another whole run of the series before I can tape the pilot. ISN'T TV LAND SENSIBLE?....sorry....I really like the show.

Very odd. And according to the episode guide they're all out of order too. I Dream of Jeannie's first episode always starts off a new run. I don't know why this series is all mixed up.

If you still haven't figured it out, TV Land and Nick at Nite air the episodes in the order they originally aired on TV, not the order they were originally produced. I really doesn't make sense to not air it in production order.
