There seems to be a wide discrepancy on certain episode titles across various sources. Depending on where recent edits came from, please note that IMDb is not a reliable source for anything other than writing credits and MPA ratings (WP:CITEIMDB). epguides.com is generally considered a good reference (although it is not specifically citable) as it is recommended by Brooks & Marsh and was used for The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows 1946–Present (which is a citable source). Since there are variances between IMDb, epguides, and TV Guide, I deferred to TV Guide. In researching this discrepancy, it seems that the first episode was released under different names. Unfortunately, the only citable source (that I'm aware of - Brooks & Marsh - see above), does not include episode titles. I believe the show is in the public domain, which also makes the DVDs that are floating around unreliable because there is no studio oversight. Stick to TV Guide for now unless a legitimately reliable source can support any discrepancy. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:53, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@David French: As I noted, the show is in the public domain, which also makes the DVDs that are floating around unreliable because there is no studio oversight. You don't know whether what you're seeing is an original print or not, so no, what's on screen is notthe most "reliable" source in a case like this. You need consensus or a reliable and citable source (which presently you do not have) so leave it status quo ante until then. ButlerBlog (talk) 16:03, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
An addendum to the above, if it were not in the public domain, I would feel differently. However, public domain (and even licensed syndicated versions) sometimes undergo changes from the original. ButlerBlog (talk) 16:06, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
