TV vs Film - freebase-schema/freebase GitHub Wiki

For a list of things that are TV programs, refer to Freebase Wiki on TV program. For a list of things that are films, refer to Freebase Wiki on Films.

It is important to differentiate between films which had been adapted from TV series of the same name.

The X-Files (Film) was adapted from the TV series The X-Files (TV Series)

The X-Files - 1998 Film | vs | The X-Files - TV Series

A Film can be co-typed as a TV episode, if it was released both independently and as part of a TV program: Lawrence of Arabia was a film released in 1962 and then later as an episode of the Family Classics show.

Film and TV episode types can also be asserted on a topic for a pilot episode of a TV show (depending on the circumstances of it's initial presentation or subsequent re-release) - The Seinfeld Chronicles is the pilot episode of the sitcom Seinfeld . The pilot episode features several differences from the rest of the series.

Examples

Same name, different entities

(TV series vs. Episode from another show)

Monarch: The Big Bear of Tallac - TV Series with 26 episodes, IMDB, AnimeEncyclopedia vs. Monarch: The Big Bear of Tallac - an episode of TV Series of the same name as [1] but released later (45 episodes), Seton Doubutsuki, IMDB, AnimeEncyclopedia

Episode numbers are different

Question permalink

What happened is the production number is 02 and the order of airing for the first season, it is 19. One site is using the production creation date, the other the first air date: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_He-Man_and_the_Masters_of_the_Universe_episodes lists episodes in production order but shows the air dates not matching production order. A common problem for US TV programs.
