Same but different

The two shows “Abandoned Engineering” and “Mysteries of the Abandoned” share the identically same content, each episode presents a number of abandoned sites - the shows differ only in the “title page” and the order in which the content is served - not in the content. How would it be a good way to tell this? Adding a reference to the show description or what?

If the episodes are totally identical – we'll consider the shows as duplicates, and according to TVmaze policy one of the shows will be deleted upon investigation. The other possibilities should also be investigated, maybe one of the shows is just a re-edited version of another, which is also not allowed by policy. In any other case we'll treat them as a separate entries, and when this feature http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/136/relations-between-shows will be implemented, we could establish a relationship between them :)

It kind of like if you have 10 lego pieces - you can combine them in different ways (eg 2 shows) but the pieces are still exactly the same but sorted differently. As I interpret the definitions it is two separate shows (rather extensively reedited versions of the same) however sometimes one is ahead of the other - but the are definitely siblings :-) - so we wait for "relations-between-shows"
