American Dad issue!

AsmodeusCruentus wrote 8 years ago: 1

Hello after fixing a little Description error, i decided to look into some extra sources for descriptions and found out that there is something really strange going on.

TvMaze says that the current season of American Dad is Season 13, When it is in fact Season 14, acording to the Wiki, aswell as every streaming/downloading website that I am aware of also says that the current Season is Season 13.
after going through the episode listing on few sites and refrensing to this one as well as the Wiki it seems that some website are mushing together Seasons as well as This website.

Can anyone Confirm or Deny this, cause this is messing me up xD

It's even more curious, because according to the official episode guide, current season is #12.

But looking at TVmaze airdates (if they're correct), current season separation looks logical (-ish). Except for Season 10, which looks weird.

This discussion about the season numbering of American Dad has been going on for over 10 years, at tvrage there were also endless arguments pro and con :)
You can even search google for debates about this.

We have chosen to do it the way we have it now, tvrage went the same way back then.

Going by the prod. code BAJN09 which this site refuses to include, it's technically season eleven as in B is eleven after 9. Wikipedia is completely wrong as they have season eleven having only three episodes! By airdate it's twelve due to season ten being short because of the FOX to TBS move. This decided to make the twelve mid-season hiatus mark the season end.

I am sorry, but we won't go into discussion over "American Dad" again, as I said earlier, this is been discussed for years and years, some sites do it one way the other sites do it the other way. We have made our decision too and this won't change :)

Why http://www.tbs.com/shows/american-dad.html and http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/american-dad/listings/ correctly state season twelve. This site is wrong because eleven and ten are suppose to be one season and Wikipedia is wrong because they split the first season as well as the FOX to TBS transition season.

As i said, it is ok that you think we are wrong, if we would change it, someone else would come along and say we are wrong :)

What official sources don't count????

So the official list is wrong and so are the prod. codes???

that stupid numbering at tvrage is one of the reasons the site died off and continuing that non-official numbering will be one of the reasons this site will probably end as well.

For complicated shows like this, you'll often find additional info in the show's wiki. If you try to edit anything under American Dad, a red box on top of the page will point you towards it: http://www.tvmaze.com/showwiki/view?id=215.

How is it complicated when official sites such as http://fastfox.com/, http://tbs.com/, http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/american-dad/listings/ and http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tv/american-dad/episode-guide/EP00716445?aid=tvschedulestate it's in Season Twelve. Making unofficial fan sites like this one, wrong!
