Talk:List of Dot. episodes

Neat
thanks for adapting the list into a table, I always find that an intimidating task to set up and hard to do when I'm making updates to the list during brief moments on a tablet that doesn't allow for easy text input. I have some new updates I'll incorporate here.

I guess the references I added establishing which titles go with which air dates or episode numbers aren't needed once it has aired so I'll just add them for ones which haven't aired yet. There's 3 new scheduled I'll do. Ranze (talk) 02:31, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Weirdness today
The title of the January 12 episode advertised in both my digital TV guide and on the CBC website at http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/daily/2017/01/12 (archived http://archive.is/dtjQl here) is "For Pet's Sake" (described as Eps 31 on CBC). The summary being "Dot and Hal open up a pet-sitting business for their friends, but wind up biting off more than they can chew."

I had added this on January 2nd: special:diff/757885892

This is not the episode which actually aired. I figure they mixed it up. What actually aired was "Remembering Ogopogo" about the death of Nev and Dev's Goldfish.

Since this was not listed on CBC, I don't know the official episode number, so what I will do is put it at the bottom of the table without the number and with today's date.

For that reason, while I will keep the reference supporting episode 31's title, I will be removing its date since I can't confirm it to have actually aired.

I would have similar concerns about Rosetta Bone / Scratch Speaks and Wave Goodbye / Shallow End Hal but in these two cases, in spite of the changed title, the summary for the episode did match what actually aired, so I can't confirm that the 2 titles represented different episodes, so they were probably renames and I will keep them listed as Alt Titles for now, possibly splitting later if we do later discover them to be distinct stories.

Maker Breaker
I'm not sure if I should add this to the table. I didn't see it scheduled on my TV (only goes 2 weeks ahead) or CBC (only goes 1 week ahead) but came across http://tv-episodes.prettyfamous.com/l/7583171/Maker-Breaker which says it will air on the 31st.

I'm not sure exactly where PrettyFamous.com would get that information or how realiable it is, but I don't see why someone would make that up... I just wish I knew what reliable source announces titles that far in advance.

The site is clearly not perfect. It for example wrongly lists "For Pet's Sake" as coming out on the 12th, which is what I thought too until I actually watched it and found out that was a wrong advertisement.

It also applies the wrong episode numbers. The CBC schedule lists the official episode numbers, whereas PF just makes up the numbers based on the order they debuted in. Kids shows often debut out of order to their official numbering though (Dot. and Mike the Knight certainly do) so sites should not make assumptions like that. I suppose it might just be automated errors though.

For now I'll assume good faith and list the title / date and this as a reference, but much like Remembering Ogopogo, I can't confirm its official number since CBC hasn't listed it yet. Ranze (talk) 16:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
