Episode list is completely wrong. It does not match imdb nor the official list.

The episodes are correctly listed in the Cartoon Network TV broadcast order and applying our segments rule.

It's not correctly listed. Cartoon Network does not segment them so they're wildly mismatched. I understand the need to rob artists of their credits but there's a reason why companies like HBO and CN don't list them segmented.

e.g. The official episode 15 is Pinecone Palooza/The Big Footed Cave Bird but here it's listed as The Treasure of Treetop Woods. Which officially is episode 8. That's a 7 episode difference!

As indicated in our rules, the segmentation should be done.

Why would the rules purposefully render a show erroneous? It's also useless as the segments are not individually credited and are officially packaged together across all international broadcasts and streaming services. The segments in question here will never be in any other order "bundling" because they're not individually credited as was the case a long long time ago. Why keep such archaic rules?

Considering how each paired segment teaches the same thing so they are connected. e.g. Pull together/Lift up (pulleys), Magnet Mayhem/Stop That Train (magnets).

It makes zero sense to segment.

It doesn't make the show erroneous. You just have to name your files as if they contain 2 episodes.

The facts that the episodes aren't individually credited have nothing to do with the segments rule. Even in that case the segments may be paired differently in the future.

Even if they aren't paired differently, they may eventually be released separately in the future.

They literally never will be because like I said they are connected by the concept they teach. There is a reason why the official listing does not have them segmented in any market or service.

Many shows that were released this way in the past have seen their episodes cut differently in the future. Even episodes containing 2 parts of the same story have been split and paired with something else later.

Consequently, the segments rule should be applied. We don't know how they will be released in 10 or 50 years.

So the official creator listing should be ignored because there's an off chance that some random niche market might one day put Lift up before pull together? Why even have episode numbers at that point.

Why would TMDB rule that it knows better than production companies and creators?

Why do you think that the creators have given segments titles and not a single title for each episode ?

If you disagree with our rules, you can use another site.

If you can offer a site that doesn't have such a strange and library breaking rule such as segmenting I would appreciate it greatly.

The episodes do have single titles. E.g. 7. "Yip Yip Book Book/Stick to It" so I'm not sure what your argument is there. Or why it's okay to arbitrarily decide episode numbering when apparently just the prospect of a "segment" being shown out of sequence is enough to chop it up. Why wouldn't it also change its episode number?

You can eventually use IMDB, as TheTVDB also apply the segmentation rules.

This is not an episode title but 2 segments titles glued together.

IMDB is not supported so I would appreciate a service that is more widely integrated such as tvdb.

And yes it is. It is literally listed as the title of the episode both on hbomax and cartoon network and as mentioned imdb.

Do you have an official source that has episode 7 titled otherwise?

The only sites widely supported are TheTVDB and us. The other solution you have is to manually create NFO files if you use Kodi.

I didn't say that they are titled otherwise, I just say that the title is just the 2 segments titles glued together. They generally do this to left open the possibility to split the segments or to pair them differently.
