Title with significant inaccuracies

This is in regard to "Red Carpet Premiers" (1990) at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34875276/. There appear to be several problems with the data for this series.

In particular, the only distributor listed at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34875276/companycredits/ is YouTube (World-wide, 1990) (TV). But YouTube has only existed since 2005.

The only external link provided is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPiQSwmWzPFN8ZTwd9kSZYUYXLgpQMqyj which suggests that this is indeed a made-for-YouTube series, but not one from 1990; the oldest video in the playlist is from 2023. Also, the title shown on the YouTube page is "Red Carpet Premieres" which is a more standard spelling than the one used on IMDb.

Finally, the YouTube playlist for this series has 20 videos, and the IMDb episode guide has 6 episodes -- but none of the episode titles in either list match exactly, and most don't match at all. For example, the most recent episode listed by IMDb is "Wicked Los Angeles premiere" on Nov. 9, 2024. But there is only one episode on the YouTube playlist released within the last three months -- and it's titled "Jennifer Lopez talks 'Unstoppable'" rather than being about "Wicked".

In summary, this appears to be a real webseries, but with a misspelled title, a year in parentheses after the title which is from a very incorrect year, a distributor from an also very incorrect year, and a bunch of incorrect episodes.
