Episodes are listed in order of their original broadcast. Note that the five-digit production numbers assigned by Universal’s production department are neither continuous nor in the sequence that the episodes were filmed. The skipped numbers were assigned to story material that was subsequently abandoned, and the order of the numbers appears to correspond to a fairly early chronology of script approval. My own production sequence (e.g., “Production #1”) refers to the order in which the segments actually went before the cameras.
Names in bold appear in the series opening production credits; italicized additions represent uncredited participants whose names are noted only in the series’ production files.
