Hello, can I ask you why you have changed many people's gender marker? Like RuPaul, Shangela, Zeke Smith, etc.? I have changed them back to the correct gender markers, but I was just wondering why you changed them to begin with?
E.g. Shangela has his pronouns listed on instagram as he/him, Zeke Smith is a trans man and has spoken at length about his gender identity - why would you assume his gender to be "Other" - which is typically reserved for non-binary and gender-nonconforming people.
Hi, sorry I didn't know that about Shangela and Zeke Smith, but RuPaul uses both he/him & she/her pronouns (depending on whether RuPaul is in drag), so that one I wasn't sure. Sorry for all the trouble!
Gender and pronouns are not always the same thing, RuPaul uses any and all pronouns, but is still a man. Similarly, Bob The Drag Queen uses he/him and she/her pronouns, but not they/them - despite him being non-binary.
No worries.
Ok got it. Thanks for letting me know!
FYI, there is this article with all the official contestant photos for this season of MasterChef.
Also, the images should contain the specific person the image is for, not both people (not sure why people are still doing it incorrectly for The Amazing Race...). For example, this image of Azu should be replaced with something like this.
As per this edit, where is this information from and why have you added 5 seasons, all that will happen is as the current season ends the status information won't be right. We don't add several seasons ahead as per data policies:
Episode Order
The amount of episodes that was ordered for this season. This should only be filled when a network explicitly announces the episode order before the start of the season. For season that have already aired, one can simply look at the season's episode list and this information will be redundant.
Premiere Year / Month
The year and month this season is set to premiere in. Since it's not allowed to add Episodes to TVmaze before they are formally announced, these properties can be used to indicate when a Show that's on hiatus will return. As with the episode order, these attributes should only be entered when they are explicitly announced ahead of time. For seasons that have already premiered, their premiere date is automatically calculated based on the first episode's airdate.
Hi, I got the information from this article from Deadline Fox Renews 'Simpsons', 'Family Guy', 'Bob's Burgers', 'American Dad'. I'm sorry; I didn't know about this part of the policy. I'll fix the show now. Sorry for all the trouble!
Why would we add episode orders of 15 if the site doesn't confirm it?
According to sources, the four pickups are all for 15 episodes a season each.
Thats not a official confirmation, please tell me you haven't done the same thing across all the shows listed.
Hi, sorry yes I did, but after carefully rereading the policy I deleted all the episode counts (It should be reflected on American Dad, which now only has one season left for next year, but I deleted all the other ones as well). It won't happen again (from now on, I will wait until official schedules are announced from the network, which gives me an idea for when the new seasons come). Sorry for all the trouble!
@JuanArango It appears this is why episode counts have been removed across so many shows today... @TomSouthwell as well, please see fli718's recent edits.
As Juan already stated on the edit requests forums:
we always keep the number of episodes ordered, no matter if they have aired already. :)
Without it, a returning status date will never show up
Looks like fli718's recent edits need to be rolled back, as now numerous shows will now longer have a returning status date to display.
Should also be noted that maybe the data policies needs to be updated a bit...
The amount of episodes that was ordered for this season. This should only be filled when a network explicitly announces the episode order before the start of the season. For season that have already aired, one can simply look at the season's episode list and this information will be redundant.
This conflicts exactly with what Juan said, that the episode orders are needed for the returning status date to be shown. This is already evident enough with America's Got Talent, which premieres its new season in just a few days, but now just says "Status: Running" instead of "Status: Running; returning May 2025", as all the previous seasons' episode counts have now been removed.
@Magitroopa this is been dealt with by @Aidan , @JuanArango and @RoseRed
@fli718 very confused by how you've taken my message around future seasons to mean we need every season order deleted from previous seasons
Hi yeah sorry I read the data policy and took it to mean we shouldn’t add episode count unless it was explicitly stated in a press release by the network (as with Doc on Fox). Sorry for all the trouble!
@TomSouthwell @Aidan @JuanArango @RoseRed
May need some help again here (unless I'm mistaken...) as fli718 has now removed upcoming seasons' premiere year and/or month, such as this edit on The Masked Singer, which has now entirely deleted upcoming seasons across multiple shows. I'm not sure what the exact scenario is with other shows, but as far as TMS is concerned, it was already previously announced that the next season will premiere in January, so I'm not sure at all why that information had to once again be removed.
If this is incorrect and does indeed need to be recorrected, it appears to be fli's 'Updated Season' edits from August 17-19. If it is correct, then my apologies entirely.
Hi, my apologies. I wasn't sure if it would be wiser to just wait until the network announces the premiere date before adding new seasons because I've found out that things change a lot last minute in terms of when series/seasons premiere (such as with Watson, CIA, Einstein, and so forth). My apologies for all the trouble; please let me know what the best course of action would be for the future. Thank you!
Sorry misread the question; I fixed Hollywood Squares as well since I know that one has been announced by CBS as coming back in January of next year. Question though (so this doesn't happen again), if a precise month and year are not given for a new season, should I put it on (because if it's just year, I found out the hard way that networks are quite flexible with it)? Please let me know. Thank you for all your help!
One thing to keep in mind is that the site auto delete seasons with no data attached to them
So just add the with the most accurate info you have at the time. For this network stuff it's reasonable to expect a ordered season will appear the following year, and if something changes along the way we just edit it.
I know you're the one who typically updates the 'TBD' to 'Running' and adding newly-announced season(s) to shows as necessary, so thought I'd let you know.... as per FOX's official press release for their 2025-26 season:
Returning FOX series include dramas Doc (Season Two), and Murder in a Small Town (Season Two); comedies Animal Control (Season Four) and Going Dutch (Season Two); animated series Bob's Burgers (Season 16), Family Guy (Season 24), Grimsburg (Season Three), Krapopolis (Season Three), Universal Basic Guys (Season Two) and The Simpsons (Season 37); and unscripted series Beat Shazam (Season Eight), Don't Forget The Lyrics! (Season Four), Extracted (Season Two), The Floor (Season Four), Hell's Kitchen (Season 24), Kitchen Nightmares (Season Three), LEGO Masters (Season Six), The Masked Singer (Season 14), Name That Tune (Season Five) Next Level Chef (Season Five) and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test (Season Four). Additional series renewals to be announced.
As far as I can recall, the newly announced renewals that hadn't been know until today are Beat Shazam, Don't Forget the Lyrics!, Kitchen Nightmares, LEGO Masters, and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. (from what I'm seeing, it looks like RoseRed has already taken care of Special Forces.)
Ok, thanks for letting me know! I updated all the programs. Appreciate your help!
FYI, I've already changed back the dates for the season 3 episodes of Jeopardy! Masters, but just to let you know, those dates are correct, as shown by their social media post and official website with the schedule.
From their official website, here is a screenshot of the schedule. Dunno why, but on The Futon Critic listings for the show, it is currently saying that "Quarterfinals 1 & 2" on May 20 is a rerun- clearly an error.
Same thing goes for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune: Not sure why Futon currently lists the May 20 episode ("Katharine McPhee, Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad") as a rerun, but it is indeed new, and it looks like CWoF will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays along with Jeopardy! Masters beginning on May 20 & 21.
Ok got it. Yeah sorry I thought the Futon Critic usually gets its data straight from the network, so I thought it would be the most accurate. Sorry for all the trouble!
