Talk:List of ThunderCats episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have added a list of episodes (source: [1]) although other lists have slightly different orders. I think this is due to airdate order vs. intended order. It would be great if we could add screenshots, a brief description of the episode, original airdate etc. (for an example see List of Star Trek: TNG episodes. Marky1981 21:47, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshots

IANAL, but while we might be able to argue a fair use case for one or two episodes, I don't think we should try and get a screenshot from each and every episode (as the "screenshot" column implies). — Matt Crypto 14:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

See List of South Park episodes, it is a lot of work to make the entire list fair use buts its possible. The South Park list is currently a featured list candidate all objections regarding fair use have been dropped after I wrote rationales for every image and ensured they relate to the plot outline. If wikipolicy on fair use changes the screenshots may have to come down but everyone is satisfied that it is fair use under the current policy Discordance 15:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I cannot see how you could write rationales to justify all of the screenshots, but currently the images have no rationales, and currently consensus seems to be against the use of screenshots in Lists of Episodes, per this discussion. ~ BigrTex 02:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Airdates

The airdates are dubious at best, and its unlikely the correct ones can be found online. If anyone can find the real dates please sort them out. Discordance 20:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree, Anyone who isn't aware of this should see the Thundercats Talk page for a longer discussion on the different seasons and airdates of the series. Most cartoon airdates online are wrong because they follow several assumptions, like they start the week of or after Labor Day and then air 5 episodes a week consecutively with no reruns and they aired in unbroken 65 episode blocks. This doesn't take into account any delays in production or mistakes (air a rerun instead of a new episode). They're "too perfect" or the "ideal" schedule basically. This assumed the series had 2 65-episode seasons which ran in 2 consecutive seasons. It's been proven Thundercats went off the air or into reruns for one season, the 1986-7 season so SIlverhawks could air. During the 86-7 they made a direct-to-video "movie" (5 episodes). For the next 3 seasons, they aired 20 episodes a year (either on weekends or during one day a week while syndicated reruns filled the other 4 days [I suspect it was on a weekday because of a hazy memory coming home from school during the 88-89 or 89-90 season and seeing one of the 1988-9 season episodes on tv].
