Originally, the first batch of episodes were broadcast out of production order by NBC and they were unable to manage to program the inventory of episodes onto the schedule properly.
First, NBC completely discarded the episode titled, "It Didn't Happen One Night" and then they failed to run the Christmas themed episode until the second week of January 2003, after they first ran another new episode during the first week of January.

However, all episodes of the second season were shown on TG4 in Ireland and Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.
