Extra Details: I've categorized this Report as "Incorrect Content" only due to lack of there being a more appropriate available category to select. However, there's not necessarily any incorrect content.

I was adding current Season 37 when I realized that various sources conflict regarding this season's episode numbers. Whereas the official PBS Frontline web page https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/ indicates that last night's (10/2's) new episode, titled "Trump's Showdown", was S37's 2nd episode, the Comcast TV online listings indicate that the episode was S37's 6th episode. Meanwhile, IMDb doesn't (yet) list the "Trump's Showdown" 10/2 episode at all. So I don't know what the accurate episode number should be.

Also, regarding episodes 2 through possibly 5 (all depends on what the accurate "Trump's Showdown" episode # is), sources vary as to what's what - or if certain episodes properly belong as new to Season 37 at all. As mentioned the official PBS Frontline web page indicates that "Trump's Showdown" is Episode 2. However IMDb lists "Documenting Hate: Charlottesville" as having been Ep. 2 (and as having supposedly debuted on 7 Aug. 2018). Meanwhile, the official PBS Frontline web page indicates that "Documenting Hate: Charlottesville" was from last season - S36, Ep. 13.

By the time I added last night's "Trump's Showdown" episode (along with the other currently-presented, on TMDb, S37 episodes), I had already added Ep. 1 as "Separated: Children at the Border" - which all sites agree was, indeed, this current season's 1st episode. (However the PBS Frontline site indicates it debuted on July 31, whereas IMDb indicates it debuted on May 8.) I also had already added "Documenting Hate: Charlottesville" as this season's Ep. 2, and "Left Behind America" as this season's Ep. 5. However now I'm really not sure about those episodes 2 and 5, considering that the PBS Frontline page indicates that "Trump's Showdown" is Ep. 2. There's also conflicts if you compare what IMDb presents as the season's episodes and their numbers.

Once I realized that episodes weren't listed the same from one site to another, I opted to not add any other episodes for this season, since now I'm wondering whether what I indicated to be episodes 2 and 5 should be deleted entirely, then "Trump's Showdown" be put in the Episode #2 slot.

If a moderator maybe can figure out what this current Season 37's episodes list should be, and with what episode # assigned to which episode, that'll be excellent, as at this point I don't know what to go by. Having said that, I would think the official PBS Frontline web page should be the ultimate correct reference source. And I can personally vouch that the "Trump's Showdown" episode did definitely debut and air last night - Oct. 2nd - as I personally watched it then (and am sure it didn't air previously as I'd have noticed it in the listings if it had).

FYI: For reference, here's what IMDb has presented as all the 2018 Frontline episodes, to date: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133302/episodes?year=2018&ref_=tt_eps_yr_2018 Listed is a combination of Seasons 36 and 37 episodes.
