"Window on Main Street" script, introduction

I recently acquired some Season Eight scripts that are not dated in the order you might expect.  So we begin here, with the July 2, 1982 Revised Shooting Script for the episode that would air on October 12th, the second of the season.  It is very clearly set after "Mummy's Bride," but we'll get to that.  First, some behind-the-scenes stuff, including costume notes.

This is labeled as "Wes Eckhart set copy," and he was the costumer for the men.  Here's part of the filming schedule:






No huge surprises here I suppose, other than they got time off for the Fourth of July.  Also, we can see that three names have been whited out, presumably McKean, Lander, and Foster, since they don't appear in this episode's cast.  And we see that they were going to borrow wardrobe for Mr. Hildebrand from the short-lived NBC sitcom Teachers Only (starring Norman Fell, Lynn Redgrave, Jean Smart, and Tim Reid), which ran from April 1982 to May 1983.
