Talk:The New Adventures of Black Beauty

What I can't seem to find anywhere is full information about yet another series also titled "The New Adventures of Black Beauty". It was 26 episodes. In the opening of the first episode of this series there's a brief recap of the ending of episode 26 of the 1990 series. This 'other' series, from 1992, had at least this: (all info taken from the episodes themselves)

Same opening music.

Story is totally different from anything before, in a nutshell our hero runs away from a terrible orphanage, stowaways on a ship, ship wrecks, she looses her memory, kind strangers take her in, bad guys looking for treasure, friendships develop between teens, love grows between adults, and a beautiful Black horse in the action.

The series ran in a different order in the U.S.A. and ran as two seasons. In some markets it appears that episode 1x11 (Horsepower) and 1x12 (Horse Sense) were excluded. These two were not on the original set of DVD's purchased here in the U.S.A. in 2009. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WaveThemes (talk • contribs) 20:38, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

TWO series with the same title
I've updated the article on The New Adventures of Black Beauty to include information on the 26 episode Australian production from 1992.

Note: Some sources (IMDB, TV.com, Questar, Umbrella Entertainment) treat the two productions as completely independent series. Adding to the confusion, the same sources split the 1990-1991 production into two seasons as was done with the 1990s US airing. However, despite the lack of any plot connection whatsoever, the retention of the title The New Adventures of Black Beauty and the re-capping of material from the previous production makes it obvious that The Fremantle Corporation was presenting the later work as a continuation of the existing series. In addition, current ownership of the two productions is marketing them on DVD and in syndication as two seasons of the same series. Finally, there are practical reasons for those other sources' to treat the two productions separately even though they were the same series. Database limitations make it cumbersome for IMDB to present the information as two seasons with entirely different production data and make it impossible to present both the US and UK season splits at the same time. And, Questar and TV.com are only both only presenting only what aired in the US back in the 90s. Umbrella was primarily re-packaging what Questar produced.
