Episode notes
The episodes are listed in production order, although Fox made changes to the sequence in which they were aired.- “Valentine’s Day” aired as the 2nd episode, rather than “Corey’s Remix”, on January 30. ”Corey’s Remix” aired as the 4th episode, on February 13.
- “Road Trip" was aired after That ’70s Show on Tuesday, May 6th, as Fox aired a special “2 Decades of Laughs in One Night” format. It was rumoured at the time that Fox was testing both shows back to back to see if it would work the following season. Ratings for this episode were higher (either due to That ’70s Shows lead in or due to a different timeslot) than a usual Wednesday night episode, but the format was never tried again, and That ’80s Show was cancelled 9 days later.
- “Beach Party” was aired the night after “Road Trip” in the usual Wednesday timeslot (with “Sophia’s Depressed” still not aired), despite being the last episode produced. This is noticeable when Corey and Tuesday notice the listening station at Permanent Record, something that was created in wake of a fire in “Sophia’s Depressed”, which wouldn’t air until three weeks later.
- “Sophia’s Depressed” aired as scheduled on May 29, nearly two weeks after the show was officially cancelled. However, the last scene that aired during the closing credits (where Sophia introduces the gang to her twin sister Bianca) was edited out on Fox in favour of promos for summer Fox shows, though it was seen during the Canadian airing on CTVCTV television networkCTV Television Network is a Canadian English language television network and is owned by Bell Media.
