Season structure
posted by BenSTAFFMOD on November 1, 2022 at 2:14 PM
As currently structured, the various miniseries are included as part of "seasons" that began airing a year or more later. Wikipedia presents a more logical season structure. IMDb is more aggressive, divorcing miniseries from full-season runs entirely. Here is what I propose:
- "The M.A.S.S. Device" miniseries, 5 episodes first aired Sep 1983
- "The Revenge of Cobra" miniseries, 5 episodes first aired Sep 1984
- "Season 1", 55 episodes first aired Sep-Dec 1985
- "Season 2", 30 episodes first aired Sep-Nov 1986
- "G.I. Joe: The Movie" miniseries, 5 episodes first aired Apr 1987
- "Operation: Dragonfire" miniseries, 5 episodes first aired Sep 1989
- "Season 3", 19 episodes first aired from Sep 1990 to Feb 1991
- "Season 4", 20 episodes first aired from Sep 1991 to Jan 1992
And remove "G.I. Joe: The Movie" from Specials since it's already on TMDB as a movie and I can't find confirmation it ever aired as anything but a 5-parter.
Does this make sense to anyone besides me?

I agree the movie should be deleted from specials:

Personally I would prefer the seasons to say as they are. It's much easer to track if there is just one entry. That being said, this is not organized like other shows i've seen for example Battlestar Galactica.
Original Mini Series:

Actual show:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1972-battlestar-galactica
For consistency then "The M.A.S.S. Device" and "The Revenge of Cobra" should probably be mini series. IDK about dragonfire since that was released in the middle of the show run.
Finally, someone added some of theses as movies which should probably be deleted:
