Item: Season 4
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Episode 30 Abilene is actually part of season 5 not season 4, it was included as a bonus episode on the season 4 box set which is why somebody probably incorrectly added it to season 4.
I added the episode to season 5 with the correct broadcast date of 5/31/63

Do you have proof that this episode didn't air on May 18, 1962 ?
On this book at page 266, it is indicated that Bing Russell appears in the "Abilène" episode of "Rawhide" on CBS on May 18, 1982.
Also, the Wikipedia page says "This episode appears hidden on the Season 4 DVD boxset extras as preview episode for season 5 the last disc. There has been much confusion over its actual air date, but newspaper tv listings from May 1962 show the episode actually aired that year, and as it is narratively placed, at the end of season 4.".
Here, we are sure that "Rawhide" has been broadcasted on that date, but we don't have the episode title.
In the meantime, I have remove this episode from the end of the 5th season as we shouldn't list duplicates.

I was using the booklet that came with my 59 disc set of Rawhide which showed the air date as 5/31/63
I guess the booklet is wrong

Wikipedia now list this episode at the end of the 5th season with the comment "This episode appears hidden on the Season 4 DVD boxset extras as preview episode for season 5 the last disc. There has been much confusion over its actual air date and although it was originally planned for season 4, it aired at the end of season 5.", but doesn't include a source.
The Fandom list this episode on May 18, 1962.
Based on the newspapers, "Rawhide" was broadcasted on May 18, 1982, but unfortunately, we don't know the title of the episode.
There is also here a discussion about the broadcast date of this episode and another and the last sentence is "CBS may have aired Abilene on May 18, 1962 at the last minute.".
So, we are still in need of an official proof.
