Heathers on Paramount

Paramount has decided to air Heathers afterall. They heavily nip and tucked it and ended up with 9 episodes instead of 10 and will start airing two episodes per night starting on October 25.

Can this alternate version be added to the show's episodes list in some way or does it fall under the not allowed "version of a show with certain scenes cut/censored"?

Technically this show was developed for Paramount so this version should be the accepted one. HBO Europe just ended up airing it before, but isn't a co-producer.

Thanks

As we only track the first airing, I think this would be filed under "not allowed", but let us hear more opinions.

From what I read, the US version is cutting the 10th and final episode entirely and has made other cuts to the remaining 9 episodes ... the 10 episodes aired 'overseas' not only are first to air but also the most complete version at this point ... even if policy were to say use the US dates, I would humbly submit TPTB should issue an exemption to policy and go with the original airings. ymmv

Edit: I should also have said it would be very, very nice to be able to list both airings given the differences and the wish that TVmaze have as much data as possible on the various shows listed.
