Sesame Street guide
by *hilleyb on Comments
Well, I finally made it, and I want to take upon myself the monumental task of fixing the Sesame Street guide. The current state of the guide is: episodes 1-1050 are entered, but they are about evenly spread across all 36 seasons. Those shows need to be moved into the correct 130 or 145 episode seasons. The approval part of TV.com makes it hard and frustrating, but since it's so monumental, waiting won't slow anything down. But here's an example why: There are duplicate entries for Show 32 in Season 1. One has episode number 32, and the other 33. Then Show 33 has number 34. 34 has 35, and 35 has 36. Episode 36 (actually, 30-36 with duplicate entries) is currently in Season 2. I can't move the real 36 into Season 1 because it already has a 36, which should be 35. I can't change the 36 to 35 because there's already a 35 which should be 34, et cetera. First I need to get rid of the duplicate 32 (which has #33). I have to wait for that; then I can change the real 33 from 34 to 33. Wait again; then I can change 34 from 35 to 34. Wait again; then I can change 35 from 36 to 35. Finally, now the 36 in Season 2 can become 1-36. You can see how it gets annoying. So after getting rid of the duplicate 32 (it becomes the next new episode 1051), and other duplicates, I'll be temporarily skipping episode 36. This is a fun exercise in problem solving. For more logical fun, watch Square One TV.
