Alternate titles in alphabetical order
Alternate titles by episode

The CEIA episode titles used throughout this entire web-site are the ones posted to the ``clarissa'' mailing list by ``urien'', a CEIA editor, in Mar 94. Before then, there were lots of alternate titles floating around. This page lists all the alternate titles -- and other references, such as ``the Christmas cards episode'' -- that people have used on the mailing list (only through Mar 94). I've also included the episode titles used in Nickelodeon's AOL folder that differ from the ``urien'' titles.

Note that the distinction between ``alternate title'' and ``episode reference'' is sometimes an arbitrary one. Also keep in mind that some of these were not offered as genuine titles, but as joke-titles or titles that people didn't want to use. Basically, I tried to include anything anyone on the list used to refer to an episode.

The alternate titles are given first in alphabetical order and then by episode, in production order.
