Different season number with api call and site?

Hello,
Scrubs - Season 0 (Season Specials) has wrong season numbers on episode objects.
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/4556/season/0 https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4556-scrubs/season/0
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/4556/season/0/episode/1 (It says season 1 too)
By the way, instead of calling api for each episodes (like tv/4556/season/0/episode/1), I'm just getting them from tv/4556/season/0. Is it better to request episodes one by one even I don't need more information?

Hi bilmiyore,
I'll have to look at the DB objects to see what's up.
I would say if you don't need the extra info in the episode method, you should save the calls and call the season methods only :D

Hi Travis,
Thanks for the reply,
I just found another different season number.

I think it's better to get season number from seasons instead of episodes.
