Dateline NBC - Saturday episodes are repeats from previous years (What a MESS!)

JAGUARDOG wrote 9 years ago: 1

The Saturday episodes on Dateline NBC http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/5390/dateline-nbc/episodes called "Saturday Night Mystery" and I have seen them called a few other titles are ALL repeat episodes from previous years. We had this problem 3 years ago at Rage as NBC claimed they were new episodes and 2 TV sites, futoncritic.com and another can't remember which one also claim they were new episodes. However I ran across a title that sounded/looked familiar so I did some research and found the episode had aired in 1998 and was not new. I then researched all the Saturday episodes and every one had aired 3 or more years earlier and NBC was just re-packaging them as New when they are not. I proved this to the powers that be over there at the time and all the episodes listed there on a Saturday were all removed.

I have not paid close attention to the airdates of episodes over here however as I was about to add in the title and summary for tonight's new episode I saw an episode with this title on it "Saturday Night Mystery: SA2534" and said to myself I can't believe we have the same problem over here as well.

Here is some proof thanks to imdb.com and it's episode title search function:

Death of a Golden Girl - listed here as airing on 2 April 2016 which is a Saturday this episode originally aired on 19 March 2010 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2168092/?ref_=fn_ep_tt_1

- Deadly Valentine - listed here as airing on 13 February 2016 which is a Saturday this episode originally aired on 12 September 2014

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4029658/?ref_=fn_ep_tt_1

Strangers On a Train - listed here as airing on 5 March 2016 which is a Saturday this episode originally aired on 31 March 1992 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103396/?ref_=fn_ep_tt_3a

Burning Suspicion - listed here as airing on 12 March 2016 which is a Saturday this episode originally aired on 31 March 1992

- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103396/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_2a

Can someone remove ALL episodes on this show with a Saturday date on them and then renumber all remaining episodes please? I didn't look at dates prior to 1 January 2016 but these are the dates that need to be removed please:

13 Feb (Episode #25 but it's out of date sequence)

5, 12, 19, 26 March

2 April

14 May

Also I see Episode #49 is dated 24 April but it's way out of date order please correct it?

Lastly can you please add a wiki to this show that explains Saturday episodes should NOT be added to this show?

I am very sorry someone has messed this show up so badly but good luck fixing it, Ron.

NOTE: If you need help with the correct episodes, order, airdates or titles we have them all correct at Rage as I have been updating this show personally myself weekly for quite a few years here - http://www.tvrage.com/Dateline_NBC/episode_list to include the correct title for tonight's episode (29 April 2016) & summary per the 20/20 ABC News site here - http://www.nbcnews.com/dateline

The Quiet One -

A wife and mother of three is found dead in her bathtub. Is it an accident, or something else? Dark secrets are revealed as the investigation unfolds. Josh Mankiewicz previews.

If you ever decide to offer Editor status for shows I would gladly volunteer to take this show on to avoid crap like this happening again?

Since it has been over 11 hours since you responded last I was just wondering if the wiki had been added yet if so how do I find it please?

Also this episode is still wrong as it never aired could you please remove it?

Juan, it's happening again. Someone is adding in invalid showings on Saturdays and as I said at the top these ARE NOT NEW Episodes they are very old repeats being re-aired and NBC calling them new. Please remove all of the new Saturday episodes and please inform that member to read this Forum string?

Also please ask them NOT to use FR or SU numbers just because Futoncritic does it that way, if there are no titles known yet but airdates are known they should be TBA as the titles please?

Probably the same member that was doing it that way over a year ago back to making another mess I assume?

This member wants to make me cuss and yell and call them all kind of nasty names so badly but I am biting my tongue this time!

I added the episodes, I will remove them now. The titles are correct, this is how the network lists them until the official titles are confirmed,

Well I just now looked at this show again and 4 dates they did not air a NEW episode so I put tiles on the ones that were still showing those funky SU #'s and had to renumber the episodes and ended up with some blank dates. Please do not go more than 1 week ahead on this show in the future as it changes way too often?
