Can't fix an incorrect "Season Number" entry
posted by uprezSTAFFMOD on April 21, 2017 at 10:37 AM
Hi - the TV show Travel Man has put Season 2 with the internal "season number" of 6, which is throwing off the ordering. Here's the link - https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/62247-travel-man-48-hours-in/edit?active_nav_item=seasons
I tried to fix it by clicking the pencil icon and changing the number from 6 to 2, but it never seems to save when I click on it. I tried two browsers with the same effect. Is this a permissions issue, or a glitch with the site?
Can someone fix it so that Season 2 is given ID # 2?

Only travis can change season numbers!
// EDIT: Ooh get the release dates now... strange to have series released to quickly after each other!
I think in this case it's easier to just remove season 6 and re-add it as season 2 though.. Only four episodes. I think it's best to only bother Travis when lots of episodes/info is concerned, hahaha!

There is no season 6 released yet. There are only seasons 1-5, and a Specials season # 0. So what I'm asking is for the season 2, to have its ID number properly reflect its season number. Right now it's season 2 = 6. Shouldn't it be season 2 = 2?
As for the original air dates, you're right - those don't seem right at all. However, the British "Channel 4" does not write down its original air dates and I can't find a trustworthy source to let me know what they are. I figure, at least I know that Season 2 does not equal 6; that was the main thing I wanted to fix right now.

Oh...your reply is different than it was 5 minutes ago. If you think that is easier, I can give it a try. Can I add its four episodes back easily? Or do those 4 episodes need to be deleted entirely and re-added again from scratch? Or can the 4 "orphaned" episodes be easily added back to the "new" Season 2 I create?

Yes, from scratch, I'm afraid! I can move the images, you do descriptions and such, and I will keep the wrong season until everythings' moved?
I quickly edited my reply after a quick google search, though, I forgot to append my reply with // EDIT at first, but fixed that

Okay, let's do it - I've got a cached page for Season 2 as it currently is in front of me. If you can do the episodes and the season, and move the images, I can do the titles/descriptions. Let me know when that's done and I'll take over!

Haha I've almost never seen smaller British TV shows with updated Crew lists in TMDB :P but yeah, Guest Stars will be easy.

So now is Travis the person who can delete the Season 2/ID#6 entry in the database so when the future Season 6 comes out, it won't have problems?
edit: yes, please do remove the 2/6 season!
