   I've been trying to figure that out too.  They have shown the   
   first few seasons over and over (which made me believe the   
   later seasons had not been released to syndi yet), then all of   
   a sudden a more recent eppie appears, like the wardrobe   
   malfunction one.  So I guess it's not completely tied to actual   
   seasons.
