Episode Guide
For series 1-3, the episode guide uses running order from the Canadian shows. The US shows were edited to allow more commercial time, and occasionally completely different. Where differences are known to exist, they are noted on the appropriate series page.
For series 4 and 5, the NBC Network 90 running order is used; the CBC aired an hour-long version of the show in Canada. I don't currently have any information on the running order of the CBC versions.
The Cinemax shows were the same everywhere.
Executive Producers [All Series]: Andrew Alexander, Len Stuart.

Notes
- A horizontal rule in the middle of an episode indicates a commercial break.
- The small number beside a sketch title indicates the syndicated episode that it appeared in.
- Some sketches are coloured red (if stylesheets are on). This indicates a sketch that is part of a wraparound (series of linked sketches in a show).
- Some sketches are coloured gray (if stylesheets are on) and have an (R) or (R1) next to them. This indicates a sketch that was a repeat from a previous show. The number indicates the series the repeat is from.
- Episode names are strictly informal, generally named after the most prominent sketch in the episode, or, in some cases, a recurring theme. In many cases, the choice is obvious.
