   No, they're in broadcast order on the DVD.  I'm electing to do them in   
   production order - as I'm fairly sure even this review alluded to,   
   when I mentioned understanding why these episodes were "buried" in the   
   broadcast sequence.  Two reasons: (a) in early Season One, at least,   
   proudction order makes far more sense than broadcast order; and (b) it   
   gives me a better sense of the show's evolution (which includes,   
   unfortunately, some very weak first-shot Season Two episodes).
