Episode table[edit]

Rather than add an American one with titles, dates and ratings, I added the info in with the original one, in order to not stretch the page. The headers within, along with the accompanying note, should help navigation. — Wylie pedia 16:50, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You stated that episodes 9 and 10 are one episode in the US, but the source you're using doesn't actually confirm this. Also, September 4 is the opening game of the NFL season, and NBC is airing that game in primetime. I am very skeptical that NBC would not only air a season finale that night, but a double episode, at 9pm. Dancter (talk) 22:06, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A) Futon has been wrong before. B) I actually don't see this show making it to September, anyway. C) Wouldn't be surprised if NBC airs it late that night (if B is wrong). D) Someone else, who is not a religious footy-fan like me, would've added the exact same info eventually.

As for the "Parts 1 & 2", true, it may be split and listed at Futon at a later date or NBC might just make it a one-hour show, which is why I split it in the table. Hard not to do that, which is why I started this thread. All that said, after two-plus years of editing Wikipedia, I don't care what happens after the blue links at Futon, nor if my stuff gets removed. If you wish, take it all the way back to this edit, but you won't see me back here, not even in September. — Wylie pedia 10:42, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another fine mess (August 7). — Wylie pedia 10:48, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A) The Futon database is decent, as far as these databases go, but as with many databases, whether curated or automated, it sometimes adds unconfirmed data often just to fill out the fields. In this case, I'm assuming they just took the premiere date, and counted 7 days for each subsequent episode. B) Americans do hate subtitles. At least, that's the conclusion I took away from FX's Tyrant. C) I wouldn't be surprised if it did inevitably end up being burned off late after a football game, but for NBC to treat it that way before it even airs, while still heavily promoting it seems strange. D) I like footnotes and citations. Just last month, I used three separate references for a single statement to reinforce a point. Even if they're ugly and excessive, and someone removes them later on, whatever the reason, at least the history shows where a particular factual claim came from.

Episodes 9 and 10 were two episodes for their initial airing. They should be listed separately. If the table is being shared for different presentations, the canonical ones should take precedence. If it weren't for the fact that the NBC and The Comedy Network are the only other networks I know so far that are airing this, and are following the same general schedule, I would be a little more uncomfortable with weighting the American broadcast so heavily in the article. I was actually more concerned with any special insight in determining that "(#109) Separate Lives" was a two-part finale, as opposed to merely being the last episode The Futon Critic had information on. Maybe you'd seen the Swedish versions already.

I'm not sure that NBCSN page says anything about about NBC's TV plans. The NFL Kickoff game is a special event. I only noticed the September 4 broadcast because NBC announced it as part of its fall premiere week schedule promoting Sunday Night Football, and I thought it was odd that NBC was airing a Thursday NFL game when CBS's Thursday Night Football will be its direct competition the very next week.

Episode 10 may not be "Part 2" per se. I've seen Futon cut the last episodes for others before (notice their ??? in the show descriptions), but Zap2it has all 10 listed with a combination of the released American extended titles/dates and the original Swedish descriptions/dates. ~~Ep 10's American info can be removed if it bothers the hundred or so people that might care.~~ — Wylie pedia 06:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As of this post, Futon has removed the September 4 episode. — Wylie pedia 06:37, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow, NBC has edited the episodes so that the August 28 episodes are the season finale with the final one within. For example, Futon's press release reads: "After a night out, Bruce (Greg Poehler) finds himself in a compromising position with Aubrey Plaza (guest starring as herself). Emma (Josephine Bornebusch) and Gustav (Christopher Wagelin) do their best to reunite their parents Viveka (Lena Olin) and Birger (Claes Månsson). Meanwhile, Bruce runs into obstacles, including Amy (guest star Amy Poehler), who has her own agenda, in his quest to return to Sweden."[1] Reads alot like the finale here. — Wylie pedia 10:33, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it seems to me that NBC is skipping the eighth episode, which I believe at one time was listed under the English title, "Breakups," and is numbering the ninth and tenth episodes as #108 and #109. Dancter (talk) 20:35, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and changed it. I looked up some more information on episode 8, and while there could be some re-cutting involved, based on the episode titles and descriptions, I think it fits best to consider that episode as the one that was dropped or merged for the NBC broadcasts. This should all be resolved next week, regardless. Dancter (talk) 18:18, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DVD[edit]

Please add DVD info. Season 1 seems to be available in Region 1. Season 2 seems to only be available from Amazon streaming? Will there be a release of Season 2 on DVD?-71.174.188.32 (talk) 19:57, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
