I've taken another look through the seasons and this show is a bit of a mess when it comes to the longer 22 minute episodes. Details of the episodes are below...

• 3x4 is a single 22 minute episode
• 4x4/4x5, 4x11/4x12 are split with (1) & (2) parts
• 5x8/5x9, 5x13, 5x14 are split with (1) & (2) parts
• 6x4/6x5, 6x9/6x10, 6x26/6x27 are split with (1) & (2) parts
• 7x8/7x10, 7x37/7x38 are split with (1) & (2) parts
• 8x19/8x20, 8x24/8x25, 8x29/8x30 are split with (1) & (2) parts

These 22 minute episodes are exactly the same as many animated shows of the time, like https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61923-star-vs-the-forces-of-evil but there are many other examples. They are single 22 episodes and not split 11 minute short stories like other episodes.

BTW, if you look back over previous reports of this show you will see episodes like 7x38 was reported in the past https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/31132-regular-show/discuss/658dbb3b1b1f3c5a95fcafe3 and https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/31132-regular-show/discuss/5e8dd6f7dd47e100170f5d4e both times being deleted but its been added again.

Anyhow, if you want them split then fine, lets rule on that and have 3x4 also split. If however you want them merged then lets fix the rest and then lock the seasons so changes like this don't keep happening. Its time to lock these down once and for all. Please let me know once a decision is made as the external ids for the episodes to imdb and tvdb need to be fixed (I'm happy to do that) once a decision is made. I'm not doing it beforehand as I'm wasting my time.

We have finally be able to find proof for season 4:

• Based on this press release, it seems that "Exit 9B" should be a single episode.
• Based on this press release, it seems that "Terror Tales of the Park II" should be a single episode.
• Based on this press release, it seems that "The Christmas Special" should be a single episode.

I will have a look to seasons 5 to 8 at the start of next week.

Thank you. When you all have finished your investigations can I suggest you lock the seasons episode ordering so we don't get any bad edits at some future date.

Again, thank you.

3. Terror Tales of the Park V - Cartoon Network Gets Spooky All Hallo Week Long No Tricks Just Treats

I also agree with dokuro's comment about locking the ordering so someone doesn't try to split the episodes apart again.

Here's the complete episode listing from Futon Critic. Regular Show only had one showing so two episodes aired on the same day back-to-back with the same title where a singular episode.

These 3 episodes are still waiting to be fixed. Since we have already established precedent with using Futon Critic as a reliable source, we should be able to fix all of the episode issues with the information I linked to above.

Moderators have also a life outside of the site. You are only allowed to bump a report if it is not answered in a 6 months delay.

I am well aware of this as I do multiple volunteer/open source things outside of this where people have cussed me out because something was wrong. A couple of things though:

1. Where is the bumping rule mentioned? I do not recall ever seeing that listed in the contribution guide or even the general terms of use/engagement.
2. This issue, collectively, is over a year old and honestly should have been resolved already. It was fixed at one point (apparently), but because the episode listing wasn't locked someone changed it back to split episodes.

The bumping rule is here (the last line, just before the next part "Incorrect Entries"). It apply between 2 messages in the same report.

Based on this press release, it seems that "Terror Tales of the Park III" should be a single episode. Despite this press release, the Futon Critic episode list for this show mention "Terror Tales of the Park III" as being 2 separate episodes. This is a proof that their episodes lists aren't reliable.
Based on this press release, it seems that "The Thanksgiving Special" should be a single episode.

Based on this press release, it seems that "Terror Tales of the Park V" should be a single episode.
Based on this press release, it seems that "Rigby's Graduation Day Special" should be a single episode.

Based on this press release, it seems that "A Regular Show Epic Final Battle" should be 2 episodes, the first one of normal length and the second being a double length episode, instead of being 3 episodes.

I have left "Skips' Story" (season 5) listed in 2 episodes as it is currently. I wasn't able to find official data for it and the non-official data are contradictory : Wikipedia list it as a single 22 minutes episode, but the Futon Critic list it as 2 separate episodes.

For the 6th season, even if the episodes are listed combined on the unofficial sites Wikipedia and the Futon Critic, I wasn't able to find an official proof about their original broadcast.

For the reminder of the 8th season, even if the episodes "Terror Tales of the Park VI" and "Christmas in Space" are listed combined on the unofficial sites Wikipedia and the Futon Critic, I wasn't able to find an official proof about their original broadcast.

Thank you for your investigation work.

Just so I'm clear and for anyone else who may find this thread in the future.

1. What was your criteria for leaving the splits episodes in s05, s06 and s08 ? I understand you want proof but why choose split over merged for these episodes ?
2. Would you consider flipping the decision having on the onus of proof on it being split rather than merged ?
3. You have proved all the other previously split episodes are now merged so its reasonable to assume the others are also. There is only a small number of references from unofficial sites having them split with far more having them merged.
4. Then, if "official proof" is found into the future they can be split (however, I'm extremely doubtful that'll ever be found).

My criteria is the current state and some of them are listed like this since multiple years. You were the first user to complain.

If I do changes and another user complain about them, I will have to justify my changes with proof, and I don't have them.

Fair enough. However, for reference and an example, "Skips' Story" was created on June 12, 2014 with the second part created August 29, 2021, some 7 years later. I'd personally see this as a bad incorrect creation but I can certainly see your point.

I'll close this thread as completed if there is nothing else to be done ...

I get where you're coming from, but I dislike this stance because it's fundamentally flawed. Just because no one complained before doesn't mean it wasn't wrong. This assumes people will complain if it is wrong versus just using another service (either because lack of information about involvement or just don't care enough to report it). You also have to wonder if people were just "copying and pasting" information from Wikipedia or a random Fandom site. The episode splits line up with the different production codes used on Wikipedia and Fandom, but having watched the show when it was airing new episodes on TV I know this "body of knowledge" that is Wikipedia and Fandom is wrong. I would also argue that using sources that are publicly editable shouldn't be considered credible.

Easy proof of the episodes would be to watch reruns at this point on Cartoon Network, but I don't have TV service.

I didn't say that it wasn't wrong. I just say that I can't prove it.

This is absolutely not a proof. There are many cases where the rerun are split differently than the original broadcast.

What I meant with the first snippet was that we are assuming what people do on here is correct without validation. I have found numerous instances just poking around where people are uploading wrong information, but it has largely been "unmoderated".

I don't understand how this site is supposed to get verifiable information. This site didn't even exist when Regular Show was running new episodes so this is all just postulation at this point.
