Season 1: 2006–2007

Notes

• "Swag" was originally scheduled to be aired as the 4th episode, but was moved to 11th by the network. The change resulted in a number of continuity problems, which were "fixed" by making most of the episode a flashback

   and adding scenes with Betty telling Christina the bulk of the story. In Italy, Denmark, Spain, India and the Philippines

  , the episode is retained as the 4th episode.

• On the season 1 DVD box set, "Swag" is listed as episode 4, without the scenes of Betty talking to Christina in a flashback. Other noticeable changes on the DVD were the reversed order of the show's episode chronology: "The Box and the Bunny", which is the second episode, is listed as the third episode, having swapped places with "Queens for a Day". However, it is obvious from watching the two episodes that "The Box and the Bunny" should be the second episode.

Season 2: 2007–2008

Notes

• Season 2 was originally slated to have a total of 24 episodes, but due to the Writers Guild of America strike

 when all (excluding security) staff members have left Mode for the night. The two usually plan on what to do in the future, dressing up as co-workers and mocking them, prepare for a date, going onto online dating sites, competing in certain activities, and inadvertently annoying security.

Even though the show mainly features Marc and Amanda, a few other characters are seen whose faces are never shown. Perhaps the only other main character of the show is Marc and Amanda's only nemesis who is, by far, the only mentioned MEADE Publications Security Officer, named Sander, who is in charge of watching the Mode hallways. Sander would be a judge of some competitions between the two such as dancing but on a negative note, he collects tapes of Marc and Amanda and making a collection of the two fooling around.
