If I'm not mistaken, small web series set in and created during a TV show should be listed as specials, not entirely different series? If this is the case, please delete this (http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/17527/eureka-hide-and-seek) as a series and add the episodes as specials for this series (http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/542/eureka). Thank you.

On the contrary, it is listed as it should be. :)

Specials should be rare. Specials should be standalone and not in a serial format with other specials. For example, if each episode in a season is followed by an "after show" or "webisode", those episodes should be in a dedicated show entry.

Then why are all the Doctor Who web series listed as specials? Even the serial ones. And Battlestar Galactica's and Lost's. I could go on...

Okay. Noted. If you're looking for opinions, though (and I'm sure you're not, but I can't help it, I'm opinionated, sorry), I don't think that should be the case. I mean most of these that we're talking about wouldn't even make sense without watching the main series, so why the separate entry?

it is because we do not want to have regular airing webisodes, aftershows and stuff like that all under specials.

A one-off special is of course something different.

I see. And I do agree with that. However a limited-run six-part webisode series with a finite plot line is not the same thing as an aftershow.

Please correct the title of Episode #32 on the show "Champions Tour Learning Center"?

The title needs to be changed/corrected from "Episode 32" to "Legendary Lessons" please?

Thank you very much, Ron.

They were added before the rules were created?

Also, TVDB or wherever they were imported (if they were imported) from may have listed them as Specials. That doesn't mean that TVMaze does.

I would agree with this assessment also. Part of the appeal of using a TV database instead of a TV listings site is the ability to discover items related to the shows I follow. The prequel to last year's season of Doctor Who, for example, was only discovered because it was listed as a special at both TVDB, TVRage, and here. Other webisodes for Grimm, Walking Dead, etc are discovered the same way. Flight 462 from FTWD was the first time I noticed items like this starting to be listed separately. If you didn't know about it from other venues - you perhaps wouldn't have known that a serialized web series (that had impact on the start of the 2nd season) was available. This is the strength of a database site versus strictly listings - the ability to have the link between the main series and content on other modern means of broadcast available today. Without such a link, keeping track and being informed when new things are available to watch for the shows that interest you -- no matter what broadcast medium is being used to make it available to consumers - becomes much more difficult and in my opinion, counter to the goals of a database.

The Science Channel has had 2 shows with the title "Unexplained Files" which are both here however one of them has not aired any new Episodes since 27 May 2015 which was it's 2nd and last season of new episodes no information yet if it is cancelled or just on Hiatus? The other series titled "NASA's Unexplained Files" has been airing new episodes to include a new one tonight and it has 5 Seasons of new episodes. Now here is the problem the Episodes have been duplicated into both shows in error. Please remove ALL Episodes after Season 2 on the "Unexplained Files" series?

The Unexplained Files - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/6467/the-unexplained-files/episodes - Currently "To Be Determined" - Please remove ALL episodes in Season 3, 4 & 5.

NASA's Unexplained Files - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/14004/nasas-unexplained-files/episodes - Actively "Running"
