20/20 on ID

I've brought this up aswell, some time ago, as i also have a feeling that these are the exact same episodes just airing on a different channel, nobody seemed to actually know the show to be able to confirm or deny this hence it was left as it is.

This truly looks like the same stuff, but I also never ever have seen an episode of it.

The problem is that there's some episodes unique to "20/20 on ID", or at least their names are. But are they new episodes, or just renamed? Who knows...

Anyway, for starters we could delete all obvious duplicates. Meanwhile I'll try to find out more about those unique episodes.

Ok, I think this 7-year old press release should close this topic once and for all, and it is considering all "on ID" so-called spin-offs (courtesy of JDOG). But it looks like we've already get rid of everything else.

"ID also debuts ABC News’ 20/20 beginning in June, securing ID’s place as the unique television home for the very best in newsmagazines. 20/20 ON ID rounds out ID’s current slate of stellar, award-winning investigative reporting from all three major broadcast networks, joining CBS News’ 48 HOURS ON ID and 60 MINUTES ON ID, as well as NBC News’ DATELINE ON ID."

I did not have a time to check ALL of the episodes, but a quick glimpse revealed, that for example http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1473372/2020-on-id-7x12-deadly-daughter is the same as http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1109466/2020-2017-03-24-noura-jacksons-story, so I'm sure that even the episodes with different names are just a renamed repeats.

There's more to the topic. Let's look at CBS' 48 Hours

http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/23959/48-hours-left-for-dead/episodes and http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/23071/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead/episodes

All episodes of the former are duplicated in the latter. And at least some (but probably all of them, see below*) episodes of the latter are actually a "Live to Tell" episodes from the original http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/4408/48-hours/episodes

For example:

http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1315453/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead-4x01-afraid-of-the-dark
http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1084247/48-hours-29x21-live-to-tell-afraid-of-the-dark

http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/996031/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead-3x01-sole-survivor
http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/288916/48-hours-27x12-live-to-tell-sole-survivor

http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/996032/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead-3x02-i-remember-everything
http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/288910/48-hours-27x06-live-to-tell-i-remember-everything

http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/996033/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead-3x03-my-name-is-victoria
http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/581179/48-hours-28x15-live-to-tell-my-name-is-victoria

*It looks that we're missing some episodes from 48 Hours. For example http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/996027/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead-2x03-three-days-before-christmas is also a "Live to Tell" episode, aired on 2011-12-10 https://www.cbsnews.com/video/three-days-before-christmas/.
Or http://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/996017/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead-1x02-rivers-edge-part-1, which is originally from 2009-02-19 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/live-to-tell-rivers-edge/

Long story short – I think both http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/23071/48-hours-on-id-left-for-dead and http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/23959/48-hours-left-for-dead should be deleted as duplicates. As well as http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/4872/2020-on-id

Oh dear, please let me know when you do not need any of the information anymore, then I will delete those shows, nice investigative work :)

I suppose you could delete all three of them :)
