What situation comedy produced the most episodes for one season?
 

I was just reading a few weeks ago that during season 2 of One Day At A Time they ran with 39 episodes.Was there any show that had more?

That's not right...there were only 24 episodes produced for Season 2.


The episodes from Season 1 + the episodes from Season 2 would equal 39, so perhaps you misread or perhaps the person writing the piece was misinformed.

The Beverly Hillbillies produced 36 episodes a year for the first 2 seasons. Hard to top that one, I'll bet.

(edit) Bewitched also produced 36 new episodes in each of its first 2 seasons, plus added 2 clip show specials in season 2.

(edit) Petticoat Junction produced 38 episodes in its first season.

(edit) The Donna Reed Show produced 37 eps in S1, 38 each in S2 & 3, and 39 in S4 :eek:

(edit) Depending on your definition of comedy, Batman produced 60 :jawdrop: new episodes in its second season.

The first season of The Munsters had 38 episodes.

How about my Favorite Martian?

I was going to mention Batman but the show is hard to define and it was on twice a week.

I believe the 1st season of "Leave It To Beaver" (1957-58) produced 39 episodes. This seems to be the norm for shows of that era.

S1 = 37
S2 = 38
S3 = 32

Looks like you found the winner. They produced 39 episodes of LITB every year of its six-year run.

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman - 300+

That's 54 more episodes than the entire Seinfeld 9-year run.

In 1966-1967 Batman aired two episodes a week for 30 consecutive weeks, a total of 60 episodes in it's second season. You can debate whether or not it's a sitcom, but regardless, that's a lot of episodes.

That's the most amazing stat in this thread, wow. :eek:

How about more recent? Say within the last 20 years? :lol:

The Office: Season 4 - 30 eps.
George Lopez: Season 3 - 28 eps.

If you'd consider that a sitcom, the show actually broke down like this:

S1 - 130
S2 - 177

307 total.
