Air dates:
Whenever possible, we will try to list the earliest known air date for each
episode.
As with other syndicated TV shows from this era, there are no standard air dates
for episodes of "Nashville on the Road."
This is due to the way that the episodes were distributed to the local TV
stations. Instead of receiving the show via satellite, local stations were sent
videotape copies.
And following the broadcast of an episode, the videotape would be forwarded, or
"bicycled," to another station. Because of this, each episode's air date varied
by city.
On this guide, Seasons 1 through 3 are arranged according to the production code
numbers.
Episodes 4.01 through 4.11 are also arranged by production code.
Episodes 4.12 through 4.26 are arranged by the location where the episodes were
taped.
Seasons 5 - 8: Episodes are arranged by air date and/or the taping location.
