CultTVman's Unofficial Sherman Oaks Episode Guide
According to show producer, Tim Gibbons, there were several other titles suggested for the series -- "Lust for Love", "Sherman Oaks,
91403.5" (a rather obscure reference to the earthquake in every episode), and "Meet the Millers".
According to Tyler Beard, there was a pilot for the series called Meet the Millers. They
had to change the name because there was a real Dr. Sanford Miller in Sherman Oaks!
I compiled this episode guide because I could not locate any information about the series myself.
Episode numbers and titles are based on information collected from a number of sources including the Library of Congress database. Those marked with an asterisk [*] may be in error. Please send all comments, corrections, suggestions, additions to CultTVman@aol.com
