Hello I noticed that House M.D. Season 6 is all incorrect, how do i fix it?

Season 6 of House M.D is all wrong. Broken: Part 1 was the first episode, but the second episode was Broken: Part 2 was the second and they do not have that listed, because of this all the episode numbers are wrong, episdoe 2  Epic Fail is actually episode  and it continues like that for the whole season. How do i fix it?

While I don't have direct knowledge about this, from what I can find, "Broken" aired as a two-hour season premiere. Assuming that the program originally aired with a single set of opening credits at the start of the two hours and closing credits at the end of the two hours (instead of having separate opening and closing credits for each hour), then the way the program is listed now is correct. The fact that the episode is twice as long as a regular episode doesn't mean that it should be split into two separate episode entries on IMDb.

gromit82, I disagree with your assumption. TV shows often do special airings where they will merge two episodes and air them at the same time. A show like this will eventually end up in syndication or on a DVD collection and the two hour special will be listed as two episodes. Just because it aired as a two hour season premier does not make the first two episodes one episode.

The question is not how it is normally aired or how it is set up in syndication or on DVD. IMDb records how it was shown in its premiere. If the initial airing was as a single episode, then it should be credited as a single episode on IMDb.

You may feel it would be better to record the more common version, but IMDb's policy is 'first appearance', so that is the correct way to enter it on this site.
