The lines beginning with '[n.nn]' contain the official episode title as
obtained from the production company. The numbers in brackets are an
informal numbering scheme where the integer part indicates the season
number and the fractional part gives the number of the episode in order
of original air date. NOTE: these [n.nn] numbers are *NOT* based on
official information and are completely unofficial.
"Walker #", "Production #", and revision dates were obtained from
copies of the scripts when available.
The comment in curly braces following the title is a brief description
of the blackout gag(s) at the beginning and end of the program.
Additional information can be found in the episode guide supplement.
[The blackout gag and credit information is not listed for some episodes
because I have not seen them yet; the information will be added as it
becomes available to me.]
Sunday broadcasts were at 7:30 PM Eastern and Thursday broadcasts at 8:30 PM
Eastern unless otherwise noted.
The third season began in the summer with six new episodes. The name
of the show was changed to _Parker Lewis_, and the show moved from
7:30 PM Sundays to 8:30 PM Thursdays. Following a short hiatus, the
show returned for four more episodes in September, three in its old
7:30 PM Sunday time slot one at 7:00 PM Sunday night. The show went
on a long hiatus; it returned to the schedule March 21, 1993 in the
Sunday, 7:00 PM time slot.
The episode capsule summaries are based on the summaries in _TV Guide_;
the (frequent) _TV Guide_ spelling errors have been corrected.

Notes:
TV Guide "Grapevine": Letter Perfect
True to her role as tyrannical high school principal Grace Musso
on Fox's *Parker Lewis*, Melanie Chartoff answers her fan mail
by correcting each letter, grading it, and sending it back. "I
get a lot of loving and affectionate letters," she says, "but I
really do care about grammar and spelling." Chartoff insists
that most of her fans get the joke. "I may have an obnoxious
alter ego, but I really am a nice person." Still, there's at
least one scribe who may not have been amused. "I get letters
from teachers, too, and I've even had to correct some of those.
I remember one that was so full of mistakes I wrote, 'Tsk, tsk,
please resubmit' on it."
