You dont need to put episode list in description. It doesn't help. This field is for the series summary.

Let me understand something. You tell me I don't need to put episode list in description, but you didn't create the episode list at all, even if there is in RetroDB's link I gave you. On the other hand, "you" made episode lists for the other 13 (till now) series I gave you. I don't understand how does this works and if you want me to submit you links and info on Hellenic series or not. By which criteria you choose to add episode lists in any production? No offense, I just want to know. :)

The request tool is just to create the show itself. Once the request is approved and the show is added, you can add additional information like episodes, cast and crew.

We can import episodes only from TVDb. For this feature to work, the show should be on TVDb, should have episodes and episodes should have airdates. The show in question, Η ζωή της άλλης, doesn't have it, the others do. Adding 349 episodes manually would take a lot of time, and since it doesn't require some special permissions, you welcome do it yourself :)

Whoever approved this new series in development added this to the end of the title (one-off special). It is not a one-off special and if it was it would not be allowed here. Secondly it does not say anything about a special in the summary please remove this from the title of this show "Flulanthropy (one-off special)"? - http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/26636/flulanthropy-one-off-special

Flulanthropy follows German DJ and wunderkind Flula Borg on Borg's quest to become the greatest philanthropist of all time. Created by Borg, the show is described as investigative journalism and social action filtered through the positively insane mind of Flula Borg.

Please let the approval know this was wrong? Thank you very much, Ron

It's a one-off special and should be deleted http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Seeso-Unveils-Summer-2017-Programming-Slate-20170330 http://www.metacritic.com/feature/tv-premiere-date... I added such a title that you did not edit this page.

Is there an easy way to fix a problem with ...

http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/3572/ellery-queen/episodes

TVdb (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=78192&lid=7) appears to have the correct order including The Adventure Of Auld Lang Syne which is missing here @ TVmaze?

My suggestion is redo/edit the pilot/special/movie from March as the missing episode #1 and then list the pilot as a special? I haven't tried anything incase a) I mess it up and/or b) you don't want it done this way. If you agree, I can try to fix it as outlined above or you can add in you own c) ....

The way I read the first link is it is a 30 episode first season ... ymmv ... although re-reading it I could also see it meaning it is a single, 30 minute show ... now my mileage really does vary

yeh, this seems complicated... :(

I got no clue about this series, maybe some more people can weigh in?

I should have been clearer in my note. I want to change #1 Mar 23, 1975 Too Many Suspects into #1 Sep 11, 1975 The Adventure Of Auld Lang Syne and then add in Mar 23, 1975 Too Many Suspects as a special since it was a 2hr pilot movie. That way the rest of the episodes don't need to be renumbered and, IMHO, it reflects what TV was like back then ... a movie to see if it got good ratings then a series order if the networks liked the results.

I have already spent a lot of money in bibliography (and going to spend more!), lots of old TV magazines, crossink information with theatrical sites, archive of newspapers, other collectors and so on, to find out these information to build that RetroDB wiki (with some other people, of course!). I've spent countless hours too, trying to import all those data in RetroDB getting it to this point. It's about 7 years now feeding, alongside with IMDB from 2005 till last year (only four years I worked hard, though, according to them with e-mails they sent me, thanking me). I registered here because you support Hellenic characters in your search engine, pointing you out that there are lots of information over there with douzens (or thousands I dare to say!) of productions you're missing. Also, a moderator of myepisodes.com made me clear recently that if there's not a production on you, he cannot add it there too. It's another thing pointing you out those productions and another thing to feed all those from the beginning, even if you have a relational database here. I wish I had time to bring myself all those data from RetroDB here, but it's just impossible... Sorry about my bad English language, but that's all I have. :) Thank you about information!

Kostas.

I'm not sure whether an upcoming episode of Bob's Burgers should be one episode or two;

The press release states 'Don’t miss the all-new, special one-hour “Zero Larp Thirty/The Laser-inth” episode of BOB’S BURGERS airing Sunday, April 23 (7:30-8:30 PM ET/PT)'.

However we currently have it as episodes 17 & 18.

Could the episode auto-importer please be turned off for Big Brother Canada, it is constantly overwriting episode titles with pure guesswork titles from TVDB, due to the nature of the show, there is no set pattern to when some events take place, so this data can only be added after the show has aired, so i add the episodes well in advance and then after they have aired and i have watched them i add the additional information to the title.

I think I have added it this way, because futon lists it as two episodes.
