Years vs seasons[edit]

Recently, Cvhcsee made this edit, changing seasons to years in the infobox. I opposed this edit but he reverted twice. I have asked him to discuss the matter here and reverted the article to the WP:STATUSQUO. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We shouldn't even have parenthetical notes in the infoboxes. We can just list Fox and NBC. The details can be mentioned in prose in the article, which it looks like they already are for this article. Amaury • 17:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First, I had no idea it would come to this. I appreciate you trying to solve this without any threats, it is so nice of you. I am pretty aware of Wikipedia guidelines, but 'Seasons being more relevant' or 'years meaning nothing in the future' don't sound common sense to me (WP:COMMON). I only followed some of the same situation TV shows: Supernatural, Last Man Standing, America's Next Top Model, 7th Heaven, Medium, Friday Night Lights, Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Girlfriends, All of Us, Reba, The Game, Beauty and the Geek... There are some other shows that use seasons, but the vast majority I see, don't. Since you're one of the Television infobox page contributors, is there a way to put it in the MOS:TV for once and solve the question to other series too? How does it work? Let us know, please. Have a nice - and calm - time here on Wikipedia. Cvhcsee (talk) 17:42, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both solutions above aren't good, which is why I raised it at the infobox page (can't remember if it was the season or series templates). We keep having this back and forth with adding and removing parenthesis and when they are added, how they added, and if they are added with or without the (bad) small tag. This is because the current setup is just incorrect. There is a reason editors feel the need to add this information, and it is because it gives context to the data. If the context isn't important, then I'd say that the daot]ta isn't as well. As for the current issue above, keep it with seasons, as the better of the two. --Gonnym (talk) 18:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For shows airing more than one season, particularly those that, at any point, have aired on NBC or through NBCUniversal, the season designation has almost always been used, See The Voice (American TV series), America's Got Talent, Saturday Night Live, The Good Place, This Is Us, Blindspot, The Blacklist, and pretty much any other NBC program currently airing. The one exception of which I'm aware, as far as NBC is concerned, is its' late-night programs, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and A Little Late with Lilly Singh, which have listed episodes by calendar year.

But insofar as I am aware, any primetime programs on NBC specifically that have been covered on Wikipedia utilize the season designation, not the year. And it's tidier that way in all of those cases. I believe that changing the listed parameters for any of these shows, in the infoboxes or otherwise, would require a more general consensus established at the level of each major television network. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia's own network TV articles list the major network schedules from September of one year to August of the year following. That demonstrates to me that there is a precedent at a higher level that should be discussed if a change is to be made to any or all of these articles. So my recommendation would be to leave this page and its' contents as established by that prior consensus, and for those dissatisfied with that system to pursue a more wide-range change around the board, which would be more effective than trying to fight this out at individual show articles such as this. Thank. --Jgstokes (talk) 04:29, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why were seasons chosen originally? To me, a "season" is meaningless, since shows can do a double season, split season, go on hiatus, ... but a year is a year. -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:07, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All of the things that you've suggested are irrelevant because the seasons are documented. In 20 years, when we refer to, say, what happened in season 4 episode 3 we can go directly to the episode. If we say what happened in that episode from 2017, we have to go looking. Similarly, if in 20 years we say a particular person was a director in 2018, we have to search for episodes that aired in 2018. If was say he was a director in season 5 we can go directly to that season. You'll notice that home media releases aren't generally released by year, they're released by season. And so on. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:39, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

B99[edit]

Should the abbreviation "B99" be included within the article?

There are a couple of references within [1] which cement it as frequently used enough that it should be included within the dab page, yet the edits adding the abbreviation have been reverted. Aaron Liu (talk) 16:04, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recurring characters?[edit]

This show's recurring characters were uniquely memorable, IMHO—e.g. (oh boy, a list):

Adrian Pimento (played by Jason Mantzoukas)
Teddy Wells (played by Kyle Bornheimer)
Bill Hummertrout (played by Winston Story, who sadly has no WP page, but could have one as he's had other cool gigs too)

Why is there no mention of them, considering the overabundance of detail (again, IMHO) into which other TV series articles go? I'll now add a dramatic linebreak.
Is it okay if I add a "Recurring" subcategory with details? I didn't want to presume because I'm such a thoughtful guy, which makes it even more amazing that I'm unemployed despite the afore-implied people skills plus my conspicuous writing/editing skills [blush], but I digress. – AndyFielding (talk) 10:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Broadcast[edit]

The article mentions "In New Zealand, Brooklyn Nine-Nine airs on Comedy Central India." in the broadcast section of the article. Shouldnt the India part be removed as the broadcast areas according to the Comedy Central India Wikipedia Page, the broadcast areas section does not mention New Zealand Slicklander (talk) 08:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
