Original Episode Airdate Order?

[YouHush!]

Hi, I have a question that's really bugging me. I'm currently watching my Season 2 dvd's and they are really getting aggravating!

I watched I don't know how many episodes so far, and they are all out of whack. They say that they were aired in that order that they list in the packaging, but if that is the case then They must be insane.

I watch an episode and it has Daisy's Car, and then I see an episode with her jeep, and then another episode with her car again, and then they wreck the car, and she gets the jeep for the first time, and then it goes to the Loretta Lynn episode and her car is back again, and then in season 3 there's an episode which I think is the Return of Hughie Hogg, which is blatantly obvious that it's from season 2, and there's no way it got aired during season 3 on it's original airdate. I can't believe that WB would release this thing when the episodes are so out of order. So my question is this. Some people say to watch the episodes in whatever order you want. So does anyone have a list of what ORDER the episodes SHOULD BE in? and not these stupid airdates, cuz you can't rely on them.

I bought these boxed sets so I could watch all the episodes from when I was a kid in chronological order, and so far it hasn't seemed anything close to chronological order. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. I tried looking up a listing of airdates that would be anything close to the way they should be and came up with nothing. If I keep watching the episodes the way they are, which is OUT OF SYNC I'm gonna throw them out the window.

The air dates are correct, what you are looking for is the production number list. Try epguides =)

Please keep in mind Season 2 is when some episodes were juggled around in scheduling while some stuff was worked out behind the scenes with a few cast members. "Find Loretta Lynn" I believe is the one that was held for sweeps week. It's very easy to see how "Uncle Boss" ended up airing in season 3.

On a related topic note, DOH isn't too bad compared to "The Greatest American Hero" where you see the characters are married, yet the wedding doesn't take place until later in the season!

[YouHush!]

okay i'll try that thanks.

I just wanna be able to watch them next time around in the proper order, and not have to see that all over the place stuff storywise.

thanks for the help...

I went to the site you said, and there's nothing saying what date the episodes were produced on.

Kinda sucks. So basically if anyone wants to watch them in order, you'll have to take a guess at it, and write it down, what episodes make sense in what order, and all that.

they should have it on some site for people that want to know.

You are correct about Sweeps Week. The episodes are or seem out of order due to problems behind the scenes with some of the cast members. The dates on the box are correct air dates even though they are out of order.

You are correct there is not a production date, it's a number code...

example from page link: 166861 is One Armed Bandits.

Thanks =)

okay, so how do i tell what order they go in with those numbers? is there any way of telling?

just curious

thanks

Example: 7th season- "Opening Night At The Boar's Nest" was the last episode 185517..., the rest of the season has the last digit(s) changed. That site does state people may have a copy for *personal use*.

Probably the easiest thing for anyone wanting to watch according to production order - write it out on note paper or print, highlight the ones where the numbers are out of order.

[YouHush!]

Okay I checked out that site, and went through all the numbers, and if it is correct then this is the proper order of the episodes for anyone interested in watching them in the proper order.

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but if it isn't feel free to let me know. The thing is SO inaccurate on the dvds if this list is correct. I had to shuffle episodes all over the place. So anyway, here's the list. If you ask me, this paints a better picture of how a season SHOULD BE laid out. You start the season with a great episode like 10 Million Dollar Sheriff or Enos Strate To The Top, and end with a great episode like Carnival of Thrills part 1 & 2. They should rerelease the dvds in this order, but I doubt they will. And I just wanted to say thanks to Daney for your help. I really appreciate it. thanks a million!

I just wanted to say thanks to Daney for your help. I really appreciate it. thanks a million!

=) You're welcome and thank you.

I created a list of my own of correct filming dates, and have watched them in order since then. It's kinda interesting to actually watch the seasons change and everything! Makes all the stories make more sense. It's very close to the one posted on this thread.

[YouHush!]

Since posting those proper order dates I've been watching season 5 with Coy and Vance, and I remember that the second episode on the disc was filmed first according to the site. And what do ya know, it was correct. If you go and watch the second episode, which I think is called Dukes Strike It Rich, not sure though. You'll noticed that they had coy and vance dressed in the same clothes as Bo And Luke. Coy wore a yellow shirt, and Vance wore a blue plaid shirt. I guess after filming that episode they decided to not make them direct copies of Bo and Luke, and give them somewhat their own identities. So they changed the colours of their shirts. So in the rest you see Coy with a Blue shirt, and Vance in a yellow one, which is the direct opposite of what Bo and Luke wore.

it's a stupid bit of info, but I just thought I would share it since I found it kind of interesting.

[rwd81]

Ty for posting this I'm gonna use this list. This list makes sense.   I'm currently on S2 and yea the DVD sets are way off in the episode order. As other sources had said the episodes were not filmed in order for them to land later on DVD. It would be cool to have them similar to this list put out by you on a re release blu ray / DVD series.
