Not too long ago, I saw a video on YouTube where someone made an analogy on the timeline of Season 1 of MLP:FIM and where he thinks the episodes should chronologically belong. I found it rather interesting, and I felt inspired to do the same thing with 101 Dalmatians because I noticed how tremendously flawed the production order of the episodes are because of all the plot holes and continuity issues I found in the series. I'm going to list all 105 episodes in the order I believe they should chronologically belong. I'm going based on events that happen, the time of year, the character developments, and what is referred to in past episodes. I'm not going to explain my theories in this post because I don't want to strain your eyes, bore you to death or waste your time, and besides, there is a character limit. Though if you have any questions about why I put a specific episode in a certain spot, I will make a response post to that: 1. Home is Where the Bark Is 2. You Slipped a Disk 3. Cadpig Behind Bars 4. Full Metal Pullet 5. Chow About That? 6. It's a Swamp Thing 7. Easy on the Lies 8. Shake, Rattle and Woof 9. Roll Out the Pork Barrel 10. Howl Noon 11. Splishing and Splashing 12. No Train, No Gain 13. Oozy Does It 14. Barnboozled 15. He Followed Me Home 16. Dough the Right Thing 17. Best of Show 18. An Officer and a Gentledog 19. Two for the Show 20. Wild Chick Chase 21. Bad to the Bone 22. Southern Fried Cruella 23. The High Price of Fame 24. The Great Cat Invasion 25. Citizen Canine 26. The Dogs of De Vil 27. Dog's Best Friend 28. Close But No Cigar 29. Invasion of the Doggy Snatchers 30. Out to Launch 31. Prophet and Loss 32. Four Stories Up 33. Spots and Shots 34. On the Lamb 35. Leisure Lawsuit 36. Purred It Through the Grapevine 37. De Village Elder 38. You Say It's Your Birthday 39. Tic Track Toe 40. Love 'Em and Flea 'Em 41. The Maltese Chicken 42. Alive N' Chicken 43. Prima Doggy 44. Film Fatale 45. My Fair Chicken 46. The Fungus Among Us 47. Two Faces of Anita 48. A Christmas Cruella 49. Snow Bounders 50. Lucky All-Star 51. Shipwrecked 52. Valentine Daze 53. Rolly's Egg-Celent Adventure 54. Walk on the Wild Side 55. Market Mayhem 56. Lucky to Be Alone 57. Double Dog Dare 58. Mooove It On Over 59. Mall Pups 60. Smoke Detectors 61. Lobster Tale 62. Treasure of Swamp Island 63. Goose Pimples 64. Swine Song 65. Watch for Falling Idols 66. Shrewzle Watch 67. The Life You Save 68. Frisky Business 69. Cadet of the Month 70. Fountain of Youth 71. Hog-Tied 72. Hail to the Chief 73. Food for Thought 74. Cruella World 75. Poison Ivy 76. Gnaw or Never 77. The Good-Bye Chick 78. Robo-Rolly 79. Twelve Angry Pups 80. Virtual Lucky 81. The Artist Formerly Known as Spot 82. The Nose Knows 83. K is for Kibble 84. Beauty Pageant Pandemonium 85. Walk a Mile in My Tracks 86. Every Little Crooked Nanny 87. Cone Head 88. Jurassic Bark 89. My Fair Moochie 90. Channels 91. Un-Lucky 92. Dog Food Day Afternoon 93. Spot's Fairy God-Chicken 94. Dalmatian Vacation: Road Warriors 95. Dalmatian Vacation: Cross-Country Calamity 96. Dalmatian Vacation: Dearly Beloved 97. Our Own Digs 98. Animal House Party 99. Cupid Pups 100. Humanitarian of the Year 101. Coup De Vil 102. Horace and Jasper's Big Career Move 103. Good Neighbor Cruella 104. Lord of the Termites 105. The Making Of... There you have it: my theory on the 101D:TS timeline. If anyone wants to know why I picked this order, you are welcome to pick out an episode. What I mean is questions like "Why does this episode go here?" But I don't want to hear anything like, "I think this episode should go here," because that'll mess me up big time; I really wracked my brain putting this list together. If anyone wants to see the video that inspired me to do this, here is the link: youtu.be/uvhr1pdHSrI

I assume; "Lord Of The Termtes" is in the Latr area, cause Villa Devil gets attckd by the Termtes, Correct, Belchic? Though, to be fair, Villa Devil has caugh fire, cover in Gm and have a Lorry crash in to it, in a number of Episodes. I assume, Cruella is able to fx it, even when it gets attckd.
Also, I think; "Dalmatian Vacation" comes some when before; "Christmas Cruella", considering that; Roger & Anita are celebrating their One Year Wedding Aniversary, I think. Also; "You Say It's Your Birthday?" should take place about that time too, as the Dearly's are celebrating the Dalmatians being a Family, for One Hundred And One Days, which should put the Episode about the frst week of April.
Also, there is a book called; "Cruella Returns", which uses the Episode; "You Slipped A Disk" as a Frming Device, and the Dalmatians refer to the evnts of; "Leisure Lawsuit" (with some of; "Cone Head") in there, and also; "Snow Bounders".
I also, isn'; "Full Metal Pullet" when the Colonel allows the Dalmatians in to the; "Bark Brigade"?
You think some of these points, help with the Continuity case, Belchic? ;3

I can only imagine how long it took to do that.
Good job.

Though, to be fair, Villa Devil has caugh fire, cover in Gm and have a Lorry crash in to it, in a number of Episodes. I assume, Cruella is able to fx it, even when it gets attckd. When did Villa De Vil catch fire? And what the heck is a Gm and a Lorry? Though in "Lord of the Termites", Cruelka's mansion crumbles to the ground. It can't possibly be perfectly intact the next episode because it would take maybe a year and a half to rebuild it! That's just my theory though. Well, note that a majority of the episodes seem to take place in the spring or summer time. With "Dalmatian Vacation", it is said that it takes place in the spring, as Lucky notes in his narration on Part 2. Well, I never read that book, but I'm going to consider it non-cannon. Though I did put "Snow Bounders" right after "A Christmas Cruella" because those are the only episodes where it snows at the farm. Christmas falls just barely at the beginning of winter, so it's probably safe to assume "Snow Bounders" comes after considering the snow would stay around much longer. Well, you may notice what I listed as the first three episodes are the ones where Spot is out of commission and not with the main pups. She isn't even mentioned. This could suggest that perhaps Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig haven't met Spot yet. "Full Metal Pullet" is technically the episode where they first met Spot and accepted her as their friend, so it makes sense to put that episode next after those. Anything else you have questions about?

Villa Devil was on Fire in; "Smoke Detectors", Remember? And, A Lorry is a Truck, which crashes in to; Villa Devil in; "Fountain Of Youth", and considering Cruella's wealth, it is likely she be able to build Villa Devil in a good time, Eh?
That is correct, that; "Dalmatian Vacation" takes place in Spring, but Episodes like; "Love 'Em Flea 'Em" seem to be set in October, what with the Jack O Lanterns, and they claim it is a; "Fll Ball". Also; "Snow Bounders" should be set in one of the wintr seasons too, Eh? ;3
I think; "Humanitarian Of The Year" & "Cupid Pups" are set before; "Dalmatian Vacation" as; Mr. Gobble, the one who interviews Cruella in; "Humanitarian Of The Year", and Baron Von Schnickerdoodle, from; "Cupid Pups" appear at the Wedding, as those who wish to marry Cruella.
There could be reasons, why Spot doesn' appear in the Cadpig and Pound one, Maybe she is force to Chick Sit, in that time, maybe, or something is up, with the Chicken's, like in; "Rolly's Egg-Cellent Adventure". In that Episode too, the Dalmatians are shown to be part of the; "Bark Brigade", when; "Full Metal Pullet" seems to claim that's when the Dalmatians get in to the; "Bark Brigade". That make some sense, Belchic? ;3

And, A Lorry is a Truck, which crashes in to; Villa Devil in; "Fountain Of Youth", and considering Cruella's wealth, it is likely she be able to build Villa Devil in a good time, Eh? Well, those were just damage effects that could easily be repaired in a few days time. If the whole mansion crumbled to the ground, rebuilding it would realistically not be so easy, especially considering how big it is, it would take maybe 2-5 years best to rebuild it. Not so easy. On top of that, the Dearly's house is severely damaged at the end too. Although, my only real flaw with putting it there is that termites only tend to infest houses after it had been raining since they like soft wood. I guess we can assume the Dearly's had a downpour right before that episode. Also, in "Smoke Detectors", it was just one of Cruella's rooms that burned, not her whole mansion. You are correct. I assumed "Home is Where the Bark Is" likely takes place in the summertime. I would say probably late in June. You may notice I put the episodes that involved heat and swimming (like "Splishing and Splashing") shortly after that one as it does get much hotter later in the summer. I kind of went full circle and came up with the theory that the series goes over the course of one full year. And yes, I do have "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em" and "Snow Bounders" in between. Also note I put "Valentine Daze" where it should belong too. Another thing, I put "Walk on the Wild Side" shortly after "A Christmas Cruella" due to the fact that Cadpig says in that episode, "I got a thesaurus for Christmas." Also, in "Rolly's Egg-cellent Adventure", Cadpig notes that it's the beginning of spring. Hmm. Good point. Although, "Humanitarian of the Year" obviously must take place after all the episodes that are referenced in that episode. There you go again with the whole, "I assume, therefore I'm right" thing. I still rest my case on this one. Was there ever any mention in the episode about the Bark Brigade or the pups being in it? Just because Pug is there, that doesn't necessarily mean it's Bark-Brigade-driven. Any other questions you have on my theory?

Well, Considering Cruella is able to build; "Cruella World", in a number of days (though, to be fair, she probably did a rush job on building it, as it is more to cover her Oil Operations), she can likely build; Villa Devil, in about a week or so, Eh? ;3
I feel; “Home Is Where The Bark Is”, should, at least, take place in early March. Like I claim; “You Say It’s Your Birthday?” is the Dearly Family celebrating the Dalmatians being together for One Hundred And One Days, which puts it some where in the first week, of April, so they need to be on the Dearly Farm, from either Febuary or March. Maybe Febuary, since; “Valentine Daze” takes place in Febuary too, Doesn’ it?
With Cadpig’s line on; “Getting A Thesauraus For Christmas”, it can be possible that she’s referring to when the Dalmatians come to the Dearly’s in soot, either of the two, Maybe?
Also, How am I using the; “I assume, So I am correct” thing, Belchic? I make my assumption, using the Logic like; “They claim it’s been this number of days, so it’s likely set then” or; “This Episode takes place before, as that’s when the Dalmatians meet these characters”.
Like I claim; “Full Metal Pullet” suggests that’s how the Dalmatians get in to; “Bark Brigade”, and they are in; “Bark Brigade” in; “Cadpig Behnd Bars”.
Though, What on; “Purred It Through The Grape Vine”, as that Episode seems to first set up Lt. Pug’s idea of the; “Great Cat Invasion”, but the Colonel refers to the Dalmatians as; Cadets. Though, Lt. Pug doesn’ refer to the; “Great Cat Invasion”, so it’s still possible that; “Full Metal Pullet” takes place before that Episode too. Also, isn’; “Officer And A Gentledog” suppose to be, one of the Qualification Challenges, to be a; “Bark Brigade” Cadet?
If it also helps, Cadpig's calender claims that; "Twelve Angry Pups" takes place in; May, so it may happen after; "Valentine Daze" or; "You Say It's Your Birthday?", I feel that is the Episode, where Two-Tone takes a liking to Mooch, and wishes to be part of his Gang, You Know? ;3
Doesn’ “Every Crooked Nanny” also take place, in the Spring Season too, Belchic?

Well, Considering Cruella is able to build; "Cruella World", in a number of days (though, to be fair, she probably did a rush job on building it, as it is more to cover her Oil Operations), she can likely build; Villa Devil, in about a week or so, Eh? ;3 Well, Cruella World was made out of cheap materials. Why do you say that? They don't claim it being in April. Also, weren't the puppies born in October? So 101 days later would put it in January or February, wouldn't it? Where do they claim its April in that episode? I don't see how that could logically make sense. Who would think to give a 2-month-old puppy a thesaurus? Well, like I said: this is one of three episodes where Spot is not with the other three pups suggesting that they probably haven't met her yet. If they say at any point in the episode that Spot is out doing something else, then it would make sense. Do they mention that in the episode? Also, do they make any mention of being in the Bark Brigade in that episode? Again, what evidence do you have other than Pug is working with the pups? There are just way too many things to take into consideration when putting the episodes together chronologically. It's no easy task. I had a feeling you'd bring that up. Though it could be possible time had passed and Two-Tone forgave Mooch. I'm resting my case that "Love 'Em and Flea 'Em" takes place in October hence the Jack-o-lanterns. What evidence do you have for that? If you have a better theory on where you think the episodes belong, do you care to make a list, babclayman?

I’m planning on making this as a journal post on my DeviantArt but with explanations on why I put them there. However, I may need to rearrange a few of these because babclayman found a few flaws in what I came up with. Though I must ask something to you babclayman: In one post, you said “Home is Where the Bark Is” is set in early March. What evidence do you have that made you come up with that theory? I don’t believe that episode is set anywhere near that time of year. It’s usually cold and rainy during that time in the U.S., and in this episode, Rolly complains about it being hot at the farm, so it must take place in the summertime. That’s why I see it more like late June.

Interesting list there Belchic, Lucky was even thinking the same thing too about the episodes being out of order.
I do find it interesting you got DeVillage Elder two episodes before Love em and Flea em
