Fake episodes of a real cartoon series (The Road Runner Show)

The Road Runner Show (IMDb)

The Road Runner Show (Wikipedia)

The Road Runner Show is a real cartoon series that ran on CBS from 1966-1968 and on ABC from 1971 to 1973. Each episode consists of three theatrical shorts.

A contributor has added each individual theatrical short from the Road Runner series (as well other shorts featuring Wile E. Coyote and Ralph Wolf) as a separate episode. All of these episodes are fake. All of them are duplicates of the original theatrical shorts. They can all be deleted, unless the staff would prefer to retain some of the data (including images, plot descriptions and user votes).

The page for the series itself must remain.

(This is the kind of data corruption that speaks to the need for a "Collections" category. Someone used the IMDb page for an existing TV series as an excuse to collect all the Road Runner shorts together. See my suggestion here.)

Hi @jay_spirit -

So all episodes are fake? We should just keep the parent series? Correct?

Thanks!

Yes, keep the parent series. Delete all the episodes.

After that's done, I can add all the real episodes for the third season. (I can't find information on the first two seasons.)

@jay_spirit​ Thanks! Episodes were deleted and changes should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
