The 37 words of Title IX

This is a little confusing, but here goes:

There is a documentary titled "Title IX: 37 Words That Changed America," which aired on TBS in April.  That's a separate doc unrelated to the question, just to get that out of the way.  Anyway. . . 

In June, ESPN aired a four-part doc simply titled "37 Words," with two directors each directing two eps.  

This was part of an ESPN promotion in June called Fifty/50, which was to mark the 50 years since the signing of Title IX.

Someone has entered Fifty/50 promotion as a TV series, with the four "37 Words" eps.  "Fifty/50" Part I (TV Episode 2022) - Reference View - IMDb

 I don't think this was supposed to be an actual TV series, unlike ESPN's predecessor documentary series "30 for 30" and "9 for IX."

I also don't think the standalone doc "37 words" is correct.  It was presented as a miniseries with four parts, each with a different title, and directors splitting duties.  

So, how about it?

BTW, still no update on my "Shark Week" question?   :)

Hi @Badger -

Sorry for the late reply, we are working through a backlog. There is an article mentioning the creation of the TV series Fifty/50, nowhere does it mention it to be related to '37 words'. I do see though, in Hulu the series is available as '37 words' but you can still see Fifty/50 on the images for the episodes. Could it be possible Fifty/50 was the working/original title and then changed to '37 words'? If so we can definitely fix that.

I also don't think the standalone doc "37 words" is correct.  It was presented as a miniseries with four parts, each with a different title, and directors splitting duties.  

Regarding this, do you have any links of evidence that this is how it was originally released? In that case I can help you fix the title type so episodes can later be added.

Cheers!
