Note: Writers' strikes are credited to the head writer at the time of the strike in the totals, except for 2007-2008, when the head writer was fired at the beginning of the strike.
 
Did not realize Reilly wrote so many episodes. Did not think he was head writer that long........in fact, he got fired before his last contract was up. So......was he a headwriter at some other period of time, earlier??
 
I just added up the numbers for each head writer. So, as you mentioned, there were many overlaps, and that's why if you total all the numbers above, they will equal more than 13,000 episodes.
