Thanks!

Hello,

Zap2It is not always a reliable source either. But in this case I know the date to be accurate. Thanks.

When you're saying that you "know the date to be accurate", how is that?

Because Nickelodeon publishes its airdates through 3rd party sources like Futon Critic and Zap2it. Futon Critic is reliable when it comes to this network. Zap2it is reliable to a lesser extent but in this case it agrees.

Nickelodeon doesn't have their own press site where they announce airdates like other networks with the exception of today's and tomorrow's airdates (which by the way are less reliable than Futon Critic.) If you want to wait then that means waiting until they advertise on television which might not happen or until the day before the episode airs.

I will concede that Zap2it notoriously advertises the wrong date for episodes that are still a month or more away. That's why I have not listed the December episode yet. But the dates up until the 18th are accurate.

I should add that even Network's official sources don't always show accurate information. Nickelodeon is notorious for this and so is Disney Channel. TBS is another one where it was showing airdates that conflicted with Zap2it. I kept submitting edit requests because I made the mistake of thinking that TBS was accurate and Zap2it was in error. In the end Zap2it was the one that was correct and TBS had to fix the error on their web site. This happens all the time. We can't always know with 100% certainty that the information we see on any source is accurate or not. That's not the point though. We are just trying to create an index that's as accurate as possible to act as a TV guide.

futon takes the airdates only from official press releases, so it should be as accurate as it can be :)

Okay, I've changed it now.

Part of me asking you was to make sure that we are being as accurate as we can rather than just taking everything at face value.

So, what's going on with these? I don't watch SNL religiously, only if I like who is hosting that week, so I don't know about "SNL Presents: Halloween" but the David S. Pumpkin ones seem to be duplicates.

Star Wars Rebels on DisneyXD is showing up as airing on Sundays but it is airing on Mondays. Can someone correct the air dates for the current season 4 episodes and going forward?
