Non-existing episodes added to Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines
As has been the case with predecessor Wacky Races (https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/nonexisting-episodes-for-wacky-races/65d5e26e25c30b3e7cebeee2), someone has added non-existing episodes to spin-off Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines.
There are only 17 episodes, the episodes after that (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063889/episodes/?season=1) should be deleted. They are easily identified as they have no information attached to them, apart from a wrong non-English episode title and a wrong release year (1965).
As a result of this, the year range is also wrong. It currently says (1965-1970) while it should be (1969-1970).
If needed, here are some online sources that agree the 1965 episodes are not real:
This article also states the series ran from 1969-1970: https://www.saturdaymorningsforever.com/2020/04/dastardly-muttley-in-their-flying.html
MUBI states 1969 (so no 1965!): https://mubi.com/en/nl/films/dastardly-and-muttley-in-their-flying-machines
Toonopedia states the series started in 1969 (not 1965): http://www.toonopedia.com/dastard.htm

This is one of the frustrating things about IMDb. There is no way to signal to the data editors that all valid data has been entered. (Even the complete cast and crew doesn't prevent future changes to them. The cast can be re-ordered and the character names can be changed. For crew, the occupation can change.)
For TV shows, there should be a way to say all valid episodes are entered, especially for shows that have an end date.
The crew complete needs to be split into departments. For movies (and even TV shows), there are a lot of crew credits. Every year, when I start entering data for new episodes, I see people have entered new data and not correctly with the "uncredited" attribute.
