Hey-lo Big DC Fan.

Right, explanation time. Listing #105 as 'The Doctor Is In' is not a typo error; it's the confusing nature of American shows' debut seasons that's responsible! The episodes are listed as follows...

#100: 'Pilot'
#101: 'The Great Dr. Brown'
#102: 'Friendly Fire'
#103: 'The Kissing Bridge'
#104: 'Deer God'
#105: 'The Doctor Is In' ...etc.

Although the Pilot is technically episode one, it is not considered as such since it is an independent production, the strength of which bought the show a debut season. Thus, 'The Great Dr. Brown', despite being episode two of the show, is listed as #101 because, technically, it is season one's first episode. Confusing? Hell yeah, but it's a pattern repeated continuously across all US shows (see 'Dawson's Creek's first season for further evidence). So, consequently, the sixth episode is listed as the fifth; so 'The Doctor Is In' becomes #105.

Your listings for the weekend are right, it's just the numbers that complicate matters. Sadly, 'Deer God' will not be repeated tomorrow.

If you've missed the whole week's worth of episodes in any week, you do have five to catch up on, with two on the Sat and three on the Sun.

Hope this sorts out the mess!
