Swamp Thing Episode Guide

NOTES: Episodes are listed in approximate order of production. This information was based on production numbers and completion dates in the Library of Congress online copyright database. This differs greatly from the original running order on USA Network as well as the current running order on the Sci-Fi Channel. The original 13 episodes were run almost backward! Later in the run, shows were "shelved" (such as Old House of Mayan) for months while others were aired ahead of 10 or more episodes already "in the can". This presented a number of continuity problems.

1 The Emerald Heart
We first young Jim Kipp as he rescues one of Anton Arcane's mutants from the swamp. Back in town, Dr. Arcane is introduced as he offers Savanna Langford a ride home and asks if her daughter Tressa would be interested in going out with him.  At home, Jim tells Tressa about the mutant but she does not believe him. Jim goes off into the swamp and finds himself face to face with Swamp Thing.  We find out about Swamp Thing's powers as he encounteres one of Arcane's thugs and turns him into a tree. We are introduced to Arcane's lab full of mutants.  In the end, Tressa agrees to let Jim stay at the swamp house with Savanna.

Note: This episode was one of the first productions at Universal Studios in Florida. The swamp house as well as the city streets were sets on the "backlot."  Production ended in February 1990, and the show was premiered on USA network on July 27, 1990.

Guests: Peter Mark Richman as Falco, Jay Glick as Minister, Doc Duhane as Mutant
Writer: Joseph Stefano Director: Fritz Kiersch
Note: This episode was clearly the second episode filmed. It begins with the funeral for Tressa's mother. Also, Arcane talks to Tressa and says he hopes they can get to know each other better.  This actually aired near the end of the first season. It is likely that USA chose to air some of the better episodes first to help build the audience for the series. 


3 Treasure
Jim encounters a stranger claiming to be Tressa's brother. The man is on the run from police and a blonde from whom he pilfered a large sum of money. The woman shows up and shoots Tressa while trying to reclaim the money.

Writer: Jon Ezrine Director: Tony Dow
Guests: Cynthia Garris as Eleanor, Kevin Corrigan as Buckholt
Note: Another early episode that was held back and aired later in the series run.  There's a blooper as Eleanor flees the house in the daylight, after shooting Tressa, yet the shooting occurs while everyone is going to bed.  Arcane does not appear in this episode.


4 From Beyond The Grave
Tressa discovers she has been left out of her mother's will and worse, evicted. But this is just another scheme of Arcane's to obtain the property. Tressa's mother appears to Jim in his dreams.

11 The Death Of Dr. Arcane

guests: Pat Cherryas Coroner, George Colangelo as Coroner's assistant, Darren Dollar as a deputy, Andrew Clark as a thug.
Note: This is the first appearance of Kevin Quigley as Graham. In this episode he is billed as a thug.  Though one of the final episodes filmed during the first season, this show was rushed to air within weeks of completion.  USA may have felt this to be a stronger episode and preferred the focus on Dr. Arcane.

Note: Though one of the final episodes filmed during the first season, this was the second episode to air.  It was rushed to air within weeks of completion.  Again, USA may have felt this to be a stronger episode and preferred the focus on Dr. Arcane.


13 The Shipment
Arcane is shipping mutants to overseas work camps. Jim discovers this and is captured. Jim's brother Will arrives to help find Jim and quickly discovers Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing trashes Arcane's lab. The sheriff stages an accident to make everyone think Jim is dead while Arcane ships him out with the mutants.

Writers: Judith & Sandra Berg, Joseph Stefano Director: Walter von Huene
Guests: Janis Benson as Mrs. Blake, Roger Floyd as Hitchhiker
Note: The Hitchhiker at the beginning of the episode may have been a parody of the series The Hitchhiker, which was also seen on the USA network, on the same evening.  This episode served as a transition point for the series to go in a new direction.

 W: Tom Greene, W.M. Whitehead D: Walter von Huene
Guests: Terry Funk as J.J. Dax
