“Throwback Weekend revisits epic experiments and maverick mechanics with original episodes of Mythbusters and Monster Garage.”

Sounds like a compilation of old episodes from a two different series, no?

If they are just showing repeats, YES, if they add interviews, deleted footage and commentaries to it, NO, guess we need someone who watches it :)

We’ll have to get a time machine or just wait until June 17 :)

But in the press-release they do not call it “a new series” or series at all. It goes like a “Programming Stunt”.

on the show Breakout http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/9365/breakout there is a season 2 listed, but on the natgeo website http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/breakout/ (then press all seasons) it lists what is being called season 2 here, as specials (on there). I tried adding the latest episode ‘ Through The Wall’ but the page said error ‘This entry already existed in the past, so it can only be re-created by a Trusted Contributor or higher.’

any chance of a fix please. i think season 2 needs changed to ‘Specials’ as they are sporadic episodes only shown now and again

thank you

I will take a look at the official page in a few minutes and correct stuff if it needs to be corrected :)

Update: Yes, the official site clearly lists them all as specials, they have been corrected now.

Please do.

It was done by a user (Mandrake) who mass-submits certain genres, mostly “Supernatural”, “Science-Fiction”, “Fantasy”.

And most of the times the shows already has 3 genres, so not sure why he is even able to do it.

Perhaps you could talk with him?

Gotham is as Science Fiction as most comics. You’ve got a guy with a freeze gun, genetic mutants, clones, people who age over 20 years in a few seconds from non-mystical means, and so on. While at the same time it doesn’t actually have any costumed super-types Yet).

S.F. is probably a better fit than Action or Adventure.

So Gotham is not sci-fi, but Arrow is “real” science fiction. LOL?

That’s why I asked for a separate genre for comic adaptations. Because the single genre “Comic” would imply it all. Like “Anime” :)

And yes, I think that Gotham is as much Sci-Fi, as it is Action or Drama.

And we really need some genre definition list. With examples. It’s the third time in the last couple of days when the question about genres arise.

PS Could anybody explain, why the 3 genres limit?

I can’t remember if this is the actual reason, but it helps prevent people from putting a very loosely related genre for a show by ensuring they only stick to the 3 most relevant genres.

Anyway, if you want to discuss that in more detail, I’d suggest creating a new thread rather than having it here.

That would be pointless :)

The episode list for The Six Million Dollar Man includes this http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/135296/the-six-million-dollar-man-3x15-welcome-home-jaime-part-1-part-2 as episode 3x15, which is incorrect. This is the double-length pilot episode of the spin-off series The Bionic Woman and belongs to that series, not to the original show. I couldn’t delete the episode, could somebody take care of it please? Thanks. :)

Thank you, it is fixed now :)

Since when are we adding TV Movies to the database?

A grey area, consult the forums for a ruling:

Made for TV movies with at least two parts, airing on the same network, all with a common and continuous plot (like "Sharknado")

In case it''s like sharknado, we can approve it.
