Talk:List of Jem episodes

Incomplete List

This is not a complete list. If anyone wants to complete the list, please do so. If not, perhaps at some point I can come fill it out with summaries of the missing episodes (I have the complete series sitting around at my place somewhere). KyleGoetz 19:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

It used to be a complete list. I'm not sure why, but someone removed a few of the later episodes from it. Shiramario 05:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Production Code

The production codes are based on the u.s. copyright office codes for each episode, they are not the correct airing order and do not reflect proper continuity. Mitigating (talk) 14:23, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Airing order vs DVD order

Both DVD releases by Rhino Entertainment and Shout! Factory feature different episode ordering, the episode ordering featured here is based on the original airing dates. The Hub used the same ordering as the original airing ordering featured on the page. Mitigating (talk) 08:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

The original date of publication can be verified with the U.S copyright office, though I don't see a simple way to reference all episodes when each has it's own copyright publication number. Mitigating (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Airdate problem

Those episode lists cite tv.com for airdates. The problems are, 1, the credibility of that site, 2, there can't be one fixed premiere date for each episode since this is a syndicated show. JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail} 14:05, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

tv.com is owned by CBS, similar to IMDb.com, basic information such as this is credible. They have no reason to not be factual or accurate, in fact as litigious as the Entertainment community is, they have every reason to factually correct. As for your syndication assertion, 1, syndication is an indication of the number of intended episodes for production, usually 60-65 or more, so that the series is as marketable as possible; 2, unless there is information that the show had simultaneous premiers (which is extremely rare) yes there was an original air date for each episode. First airing rights are sold at a premium, syndication fees are less without those rights depending on the particular market area its sold to. Once an episode is aired anywhere that is its original air date. Anything else is just marketing BS. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

Are these official Rhino releases somehow mistaken?

allixpeeke (talk) 23:36, 10 April 2016 (UTC)  —  See similar comments on the talk pages of Jem (season 1), Jem (season 2), and Jem (season 3).

According to Christy Marx herself on Facebook, the show was produced as a single order of 65 episodes. There was never any official division of the show into seasons by the producers or broadcasters. All "seasons" since then have been made up by distributors (Shout Factory & Rhino) after the fact, which is why the distributors don't agree on what the seasons are. Given these facts, all mention of seasons should be removed from Jem-related Wikipedia articles, except in the section on home video releases. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.13.133 (talk) 22:17, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
