Helpful sources

For citing broadcast dates and timeslots, as well as primary credits and a general synopsis (if needed), these are considered to be reliable sources. Both of these books are available at archive.org to be checked out and reviewed as needed (direct links provided). Preformatted citation templates are provided that you can easily copy/paste if needed.
