Scene mix up

Post by Alf=Funny »

In S1 "Try To Remember" shows a scene from the next and last episode in that season "La Cucaracha". Its when he had the slime ball in the beginning. Why do you all think that is?

Alf=Funny,

I am guessing the reason may have something to do with actual episodes of ALF TV Series being taped in "production: order, rather than "air date" order. Possible the "La Cucaracha" episode was already "in the can" (taped) prior to taping of "Try To Remember" episode; therefore the scene you mention would have been available for use.

Try to Remember - Production #1023A and #1023B

La Cucaracha - Production #1025

Even though the production number for La Cucaracha is later, parts of it definitely had to have been taped before the Try to Remember episodes.

It seems logical. Anyway, they made a mistake including scenes from a future episode. As I mentioned before, I very rarely watch this episode, so I didn't notice the mistake.

I think that the episodes are edited after all of them are shot so i guess that they shot La Cucaracha and then they edited parts of it into an all ready shot episode. Of course i think that that episode wasn't needed, it was way too early for a clip-show.

Noticed this last night, when watching this episode.

It also shows the "Melmacian Mating Call" that he does, in an episode after this one. But I love that scene, so I`m happy to see it twice !
