List of 9 to 5 episodes
This is the complete episode list for 9 to 5 (TV series). It was based on the 1980 film of the same name. The series ran for 5 seasons, had a total of 85 episodes (2 unaired), and aired on two different networks (1982-1983 for 3 seasons and 33 episodes on ABC, and 1986-1988 for 2 seasons and 52 episodes in First-Run Syndication).

Season 3 (1983)
In the 3rd season, the original executive producers of this series, Jane Fonda & Bruce Gilbert left due to a dispute regarding the direction in the show, and were replaced by James Komack, which resulted in many dramatic changes made during this season. Among them were the Fonda character of Judy Bernly (portrayed by Valerie Curtin), being written out and replaced by a 20-something secretary in Linda Bowman (portrayed by Leah Ayres), the introduction of Violet's 12-year-old son Tommy (played by , in between his stints on CBS' oft-cancelled Cagney & Lacey), salesman Nussbaum being replaced by Michael Henderson (played by George Deloy), and office snoop Roz being written out. Lastly, the company setting changed from Consolidated Companies to American House. Unfortunately, the changes caused a steep ratings decline, forcing ABC to pull the plug on the series, along with the remaining 2 episodes (only 7 episodes were made during this season). However, the show saw a second life in First-Run Syndication, and the remaining 2 ABC episodes were finally shown during that particular run.
27. "Mid-Wife Crisis" (1S01)

Hart is an emotional wreck after learning his wife wants a divorce, so he seeks comfort at the secretaries' apartment.
First-Run Syndication Era (1986-1988)
In 1986, the series came back, this time for First-Run Syndication. It was revamped yet again. Valerie Curtin was back as Judy Bernly as was Rachel Dennison. Assuming the starring role, in place of the unavailable Rita Moreno, was Sally Struthers as slightly naive single mother Marsha McMurray Shrimpton, who added fresh perspective to the group. For the second time in the TV series, the company that the lead characters worked for changed again, this time to Barkley Foods International. Also the Franklin Hart character was written out entirely; the girls' superiors were ladies' man Russ Merman (Peter Evans), Bud Coleman (Edward Winter), and Marsha's boss in the 1986-87 season, Charmin Cunningham (Dorian Lopinto). The following season, Vice President of Sales E. Nelson Felb (Fred Applegate) became Marsha's boss. The series enjoyed a revival in popularity, and with its additional seasons in first-run syndication, the show became eligible for rerun syndication.
