A Trio of Fake TV Series

Here are three "TV series" of varying levels of fakeness:

- "Pinkie Pie Pictures (1927-)" - So-called "Pinkie Pie Pictures" appears to have been made by My Little Pony fans with an inane sense of humor. Consists of 30 "episodes" with plot outlines based on real silent films, but with the Paramount logo crudely edited to read "Pinkie Pie Pictures" instead of "Paramount Pictures".

- "Under one roof (1919-1977)" - A "cartoon group" of amateur animators has created a series of animated shorts which they are trying to pass off as a "multimedia franchise" from 1919-1920. The animations appear to have been created with a computer program similar to MS Paint. The animations in this "series" actually exist and can be found on the internet (as seen here), but the creators have taken to IMDb (and Wikipedia) to spread a web of lies with fake release dates and fake credits. This title has fake name pages associated with it ("Alexander Culliford", "Suleiman Suleymanov", and several others) as well as false credits attributed to real people, including Cecil B. DeMille, Joseph Barbera, Perce Pearce, Leon Schlesinger, Joseph M. Schenck, Carl W. Stalling and Cedric Gibbons.

- "Vasaloppet (1922-)" - This appears to be a sporting event which some unidentified number of users has tried to pass off as a TV series. They have the release date listed as March 19, 1922, over five years before the invention of television. The television broadcaster credited as the distributor (SVT1) did not even exist until 1956.

Vasaloppet is the worlds biggest cross-country skiing contest. It has been showed on swedish television from 1966. And commented on swedish radio as far as from 1925. So it schould not be deleded. Link below is to the brodcast in 1988

@Jimmi1996​ If that's the case, it should have a release date of 1966. Radio broadcasts are not TV episodes. You wouldn't expect to find a title page on IMDb called "World Series (1903-)". If people want to keep records of sporting events, that's fine, but they should find a site dedicated to sports history rather than hijacking IMDb to suit their purposes.

@Jimmi1996​ Whoever did this added a total of 98 episodes, including 42 episodes "released" prior to 1966. Call them any other adjective in the book, but the word "lazy" does not apply in this situation.

@Marco​ Well! More like miss comunication between him and I.

My point was that I think that the person how submitted all episode was lazy (that was a bad use of this word) as he submitted episode from the first event of this contest insted of reading the guidlines. Hope this make more sence
