Do you know if the first two episodes aired as one? That's probably the reason. From the FAQ:

Two-part episodes can cause contention on whether they should take up a single episode number, or two separate consecutive episode numbers. If this happens, refer to the order of the valid sources as listed above and note that on-screen indicators are considered the primary official source and trump anything else. A few examples:

If the two parts air on two separate days, two separate episodes should be created.
If there is a break between the two parts, two separate episodes should be created. Examples of a break are credits or titles appearing on screen for a second time; or a voice-over introducing the second part.
If there are separate titles (even if the only distinction is "Part 1" versus "Part 2") for the two parts, two separate episodes should be created.
If there are separate cast- or crew-credits for the two parts, two separate episodes should be created.

In all other cases, it should almost definitely be a single entry/episode number. Only if on-screen indicators are unavailable or inconclusive, the other valid sources should be considered in their respective order. Note that DVD numbering should never be considered. Production codes as found on official sites or in press releases can be used as an indicator, but specifically do not trump the on-screen indicators listed above.

The FX Canada web page (https://www.fxnowcanada.ca/shows/youre-the-worst/) lists the following episodes:

S4, E5 (Aired September 27): Fog of War, Bro

S4, E6 (Aired October 4th): There's Always A Backdoor

S4, E7 (Aired October 11): Not A Great Bet

As you can see, these are all of-by-one when looking at the list at TVMaze. This can only mean that the first episode should count as a 2-parter.

Who's counting correctly, TVMaze, or the network that produces the show?

At https://www.fxnowcanada.ca/shows/youre-the-worst/ you can see that TVMaze is off-by-one on the numbering.

"The network that produces the show" aired it as a one single episode. So you could address this question to the network.

Speaking of "You're the Worst", there is a stray episode listed. The TBA episode 12 should be deleted, and episode 13 should be changed to episode 12, which will be the season finale (episodes 11 and 12 are both scheduled to air on Nov 15).

The recent 'Hunt for Extraterrestrials' shows listed below I would say are misplaced.

https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/612/expedition-unknown/episodes

It is a spin off show with the 'Expedition Unknown' name attached to them and not a continuation of Season 3.

The official site lists them as their own season.

http://www.travelchannel.com/shows/expedition-unknown-hunt-for-extra-terrestrials/episodes

Maybe they should be labelled as specials?

According to our policy, specials in serial format should be added as a separate show.

Going back to "Junior Doctors", and now that I've studied the site policy on Continuations/reboots, season 4 should probably be season 1 of a new series called "Junior Doctors: Blood, Sweat and Tears", and the existing series should revert to "Junior Doctors: Your Life in Their Hands":

Unfortunately they also contradict themselves by calling it series 4 as seen in these places:

Rachel Arnold also serves as Executive Producer on the new & old series.

This seems ridiculous to number your episodes this way if the network is numbering them as 2 seperate episodes. Having your website list things differently than the actual network causes confusion and frankly speaking just doesn't make any sense.

When i download the episode it's episode 8. On their network website it is episode 8. Any other platform will show this as episode 8 (wiki, AV Club, Vulture, etc the list goes on). Your website lists it as episode 7. You can see how this would be considered confusing and lead the users of this website to find it useless and unhelpful when trying to correctly track their shows, as I now will be off by one episode due to your need to number this way.

We always track the premiere airing, and the premiere airing was one single episode, networks often change things back later, sometimes a week, sometimes a year, but we always stick with the premiere airing of each episode.

Doesn't look like a series to me. The only thing those "episodes" have in common is that at some point they was broadcasted on NatGeo. But each of them is a one-off documentary on different topics, made different production crews.

Our definition of a TV show is something that premiered on television and has at least two episodes/parts in a serial format, i.e. the two episodes should correlate to each other, air on the same network, and have an overlap in plot/cast/crew.

The episodes for Season 2 of "The Good Place" http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/2790/the-good-place/episodes are not correct. Please see correct episodes and their airing dates here http://www.tvmuse.com/tv-shows/The-Good-Place_43307/ or here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Good_Place_episodes. Note that tvmuse lists the first 10 episodes of season 2 versus wikipedia only lists the first 8 episodes so I'd update tvmaze using the tvmuse list. I provided both links to show extra confirmation that these lists are correct.

We go by press releases and the official site, not by wiki or a third party source, the listing we have is the correct one :)

Could everyone just please stop screwing up this series? It is listed correctly right now like TNT did. We do not use unofficial sources... to make your point clear, use official sources like press releases, onscreen credits or official websites!

As this is a massive entry, could you open a new thread in which we can discuss this, I do not want to delete such a huge show too quickly :)
