Talk:List of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures episodes

Season two

As on related articles, we have IPs insisting on adding unsourced dates here. We already have an editor blocked. Net up will be more blocks and page protection. It's pretty simple: The source says Spring 2014. If you want to add one of the June dates being repeatedly added and removed, you need to cite a source. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:13, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Somebody Lock This Page!!!

People have GOT to stop making up fake episode titles and posting them here. Ugh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.249.244.131 (talk) 17:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Season division

What is the sourcing for the division of the current episodes? I am not sure if they are universal. I am looking at an On Demand listing for CHRGD and it lists Indiana Pac / Honey, I Digitized / New Girl (listed as episodes 47-49, season 2 episodes 21-23) as season 3 episode 8/9/13. Is it possible that the Canadian port of the show uses shorter-grouped seasons? I think perhaps something like ~20 episodes per season instead of 26? 184.146.6.191 (talk) 20:52, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Christmas chronology

My TV guide lists the following description for the upcoming "Santa Pac" episode scheduled for 13 December 2015 is described:

Betrayus plans to put an end to PacWorld's most festive holiday by getting rid of the holiday's icon, Santa Pac."

There interesting thing about this is the dialogue which occurs during the previous Christmas special, aired 7 December 2014, "Happy Holidays and a Merry Berry Day":

Spiral: "Cyli, how do you think Pac's doing?"

Cylindria: "Well, better than last time when he had to rescue Santa-Pac from the Nether-World."

We should pay attention to see if Santa-Pac does get trapped in the NetherWorld here, and if "Santa Pac" seems like a first meeting between Pac-Man/Santa Pac or if they recognize each other from an earlier encounter.

It seems like possibly that this 2015 episode may actually be about the events the 2014 episode refers to, in which case it would serve as an example that episode events do not necessarily occur in the same order they air in. 184.146.6.191 (talk) 20:59, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Soda

@Grapesoda22: could you please explain why you removed the international air date information from this article... Santa Pac debuted Sunday 13 December 2015 here in Canada on the Family CHRGD channel, you should not remove that. You did not explain why you removed the information in your edit summaries.

If you have trouble assuming good faith in an earlier Canadian air date, here is a screenshot showing the Dec 20 rerun of Santa Pac this upcoming Sunday: https://imgur.com/byoGwS4 although the first run was the last Sunday I did not think it was necessary to do this. Please stop removing the international air date column. It is of particular importance if this is the first-ever air date, it is not only American air dates which are important, particularly if they come after the air dates in other countries. --184.146.6.191 (talk) 04:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Scary Halloween

@AClockworkOrange2: regarding Special:Diff/695982237, I am not sure about a source for Pac New Year but I came across a graphic supporting the existence of the 2-part "Scary Halloween Special".

One of the mods posted at http://pacisback.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:4755 specifically http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/pacisback/images/0/0f/PacsScaryHalloween.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140731044717 promises it for June 2015. It treats it like a single episode though, but I would not be surprised if it were split into two parts since the show has done that before. Obviously that date is inaccurate but we could mention under notes when it was promised for and that it is upcoming. I would oppose giving a specific year for it though, for all we know they may not release it until 2017 or never, perhaps an "announced episodes" section without unsourced dates affixed to them?

Of course DJ Sponge posted this in June 2014 so they could have made later announcements postponing the debut or saying it would be split but we would need to find them. For example, the other special they show at http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/pacisback/images/e/ee/SantaPacsMerryBerryDay.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140731044758 has already aired under 2 distinct titles, "Happy Holidays and a Merry Berry Day" in December 2014 and "Santa Pac" in 2015. For some reason they aired the halves out of order though since in-universe Santa Pac happens 1 year before HHaaMBD.

A title difference worth noting is the presence of "Very" though. Since the promo poster only says "Pac's Scary Halloween" we would need a new source to support the addition of "very" to it, right?

There are some plot summaries for both specials but I am not sure where they came from. Based on the labels on the posters, perhaps 41 Entertainment. Not sure if it would still be up but possibly locateable via wayback for referencing purposes.

I wonder if we could perhaps find referencing too for where seasons begin/end. Sourcing the numbering is easy enough by air date but a "season finale" or "season opener" is a further distinction which requires some outside sources.

So far the s1/s2 divide looks fine, mimicks what I see on the "Video on Demand" service for Family CHRGD but it begins S3 earlier than this page does. I actually see four eps in S3 and they are marked 5/6/7/10. This could indicate that different seasonal groupings are used depending on the distributor without any kind of consistent division. 184.146.6.191 (talk) 09:31, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Added notes, while I saw one claim that "very scary halloween" aired in October, I am skeptical about the source as to its reliability. http://www.tv.com/shows/pac-man-and-the-ghostly-adventures/pacs-very-scary-halloween-3254114/ says that it aired 11am on Saturday 27 October 2015. At http://www.bubbleblabber.com/disney-xd-announces-october-2015-schedule/ though nothing is highlighted for Saturday and it skips from covering the 26th to the 28th. This doesn't necessarily mean it didn't happen but I need to find a way to view old schedules. Stuff like Burrp.com and LocateTV.com and Zap2it.com only seem to show today and upcoming. All I can think is to try viewing archives for before that date... why they don't allow those archives I have no idea. Zap2it is bust, last archive is from 2013. I got closer with LocateTV with https://web.archive.org/web/20151008212802/http://www.locatetv.com/listings/disney-xd but the Oct8 snapshot only previewed as far ahead as Oct13 so no nice. With Burrp the most recent I see is June 8. 184.146.6.191 (talk) 10:37, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Futon split

Rather than link to the Futon critic overview multiple times, since most of eps 1-39 have individual pages I would like to link to those directly. We should only use the list when necessary for those which lack it like ep 15/16.

Also we need references for season 2 and season 3 split sites since FutonCritic only continuously numbers 1-39 and states no split.

Packaging on sites like Netflix could work if we could find a page, but it seems like you have to log in to view it.

Is anyone able to archive Disney XD so non-Americans can view it or Family CHRGD so non-Canadians can view it? Very hard to converse about or prove sources when it has location-locked viewing. I could archive the TV schedules on CHRGD if I just knew what engine was capable of it, Wayback gets bounced off when I try since it is California-based. Conversely, I can't even view waybacks archives of Disney XD since it somehow detects I'm accessing from Canada and bounces me off. 184.146.6.191 (talk) 10:05, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Italic text==Season 2 being 13 episodes== I believe there is grounds based on a lack of evidence for season 2 being 26 episodes like season 1 was to split it into a 13 episode season, ending with Happy Holidays and a Merry Berry Day. It is a natural division point since these all aired in 2014.

This also explains the presence of the 2-parter "Peace Without Slime" and "The Ghost Behind the Throne". It was a 2-party story season opener, much as we see in Friendship is Magic or Star Wars Rebels recently.

Season 3 is the episodes which aired in 2015 and there appears to be 11 of them (the last 2 to round it to 13 being the 2-part halloween schedule)

I took some snapshots of my television set showing CHRGD On Demand and it numbering 4 different episodes as season 3. Although it does not use the actual episode titles, it is very easy to match up the descriptions given with the videos with the titles, and I can confirm, having watched all of them, that they do contain those episodes.

https://imgur.com/a/Pt0iK

• episode 44 "Legend of Creepy Hollow" is season 3 episode 5
• episode 45 "Easter Egg Island" is season 3 episode 6
• episode 46 "The Wizard of Odd" is season 3 episode 7
• episode 50 "Santa Pac" is season 3 episode 10

I would have provided others but those were all that are presently available on demand. I am not sure why they skipped episodes 8-9.

One other hole here is that there are 3 episodes to account for presently numbers as 47-49 (Dentures of Doom, Honey I Digitized, New Girl) so there is a bit of a mismatch. This is why I'm seeking additional feedback here. The likely explanation is one of these got pushed later (my guess New Girl being called episode 11) but until different OnDemand displays show up I can't take further shots to confirm.

It is clear they're calling at least 10 eps season 3 though. 184.146.6.191 (talk) 11:11, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
