Who wrote the season 4 episode "Blood Is Thicker Than Mud"?

Devon Shepard wrote the season 4 episode “Blood Is Thicker Than Mud.”

The episode is the eighth installment of season 4 and the 81st episode overall. It premiered on NBC on November 1, 1993, and was directed by Chuck Vinson. The episode list credits Shepard in the writing field, while the surrounding season 4 entries credit different writers.

Season 4 was a transition point for the sitcom. It premiered on September 20, 1993, and was the first season to feature Daphne Maxwell Reid as Vivian Banks after Janet Hubert-Whitten left the series. It also expanded to 26 episodes, making it the show’s longest season.

The wrong options are writers associated with other season 4 episodes: David Zuckerman wrote “It’s Better to Have Loved and Lost It...” and “Take My Cousin – Please,” while Bill Boulware wrote “Will Goes a Courtin’” and other episodes. Gary H. Miller wrote the season opener, not “Blood Is Thicker Than Mud.”
