Talk:List of episodes in The Garfield Show

Removal of "A" & "B" and table
That was a huge change, and should really be discussed. I don't think it's warranted:
 * I prefer the established table format, although I conceded that's purely personal.
 * Despite reruns being in a possibly random order, the original airing format is to have the two shows follow on as specified - hence "A" & "B" makes sense.

I like the table format for TV show episode lists. It kind of makes them easier to navigate though each season and it adds in additional infomation about the episodes, too. I say, though, that when season 2 is done, we make a page for each season as well, and do the same for the Garfield and Friends episode list, too. Heck, that whole page needs to be rewritten and redone. I'd do it, but I'm no good at Wiki-coding. Anyway, back to The Garfield Show. In fact, if you take a look at some other TV show episode lists, you'll actually notice they're all done like that. Table format and a page for each season (unless of course the show only had one season!). Consider? Thank you, --Codyrox (talk) 04:04, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Another comment. I have all The Garfield Show episodes (so far) recorded. If I go through them all and find out who wrote them should I add in the writers? It seems that the credits for the episodes doesn't show who storyboarded them, so I'll have to remove it (if you don't mind) from the template, but I can get the info for who wrote them. I believe Mark Evanier is going to be the main one on this list, since he writes most of them, although Jim Davis wrote some of them (Home for the Holidays, Underwater World, and Super Me) and Kim Campbell (Jim's assistant) wrote History of Dog and History of Cats, so those'll be easy. --Codyrox (talk) 04:11, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Those letter designations are redundant and have no relevance. Just to make it more simple, perhaps it would be best to list them by separate stories. As for those websites about TV shows, I don't know why they do that but I don't think there's any need to follow. 111.125.93.236 (talk) 07:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If you look at the tracks of an audio CD, you'll noticed that the tracks are always listed in numbers. No letters whatsoever. That's make it more simpler. Therefore, why can't the episodes of shows be listed like that? 111.125.93.236 (talk) 07:55, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, for one thing, TV shows are not the same as audio CDs. Audio CDs have song lists on them and each of those songs are called tracks. They call them Track 1, Track 2, etc. to make it easier for you to navigate through the songs. But TV shows are much different. For a TV show with two 11 minute stories (sometimes a TV show has three stories, like SpongeBob SquarePants for example, sometimes has one 11 minute story, one six minute story, and one four minute story or Garfield and Friends, which has three seven minute stories) the two individual episodes are done as A and B. In fact, they even still use numbers in the episode number. For example Pasta Wars/Mother Garfield. It would be done as 1a/1b. There's actually several web sites that use this format for listing TV show episodes, so really, it's nothing different. Wikipedia even has it on sme other articles. Take a look here for example. If you look at the templates giving information about the episodes, you'll notice in there it says for the episodes 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, etc. So, really, it's nothing different. --Codyrox (talk) 13:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
