Talk:List of Frontline (American TV program) episodes

message: I think this list would be more useful if it were subdivided into topical sections.  In particular I want to create a section for Iraq War stories.  George100 07:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree.  The topics are limited and also can often be subjective.  Breaking up the episodes into a small number of somewhat subjective topics significantly limits the utility of this page for users wanting to research past episodes. Enquire (talk) 09:23, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm watching a PBS Frontline show called 'American Porn'.  I can't find reference to this.  It was stated to be 'banned' though, so maybe this is an 'aired on tv' list?  Piepants 02:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: What would you say to the idea of me putting the content into a sortable table default chrono sorted? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody ever replied to that or fixed it, so I've gone ahead and prepended proper episode numbers to the section titled Season 29 (source http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/frontline/episodes-season-29/191522/ ). I'll continue adding them in a few days as long as there's no uproar about it. :) Darr247 (talk) 00:53, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmmm... should I instead just (or is it even possible to) prepend another column to the tables for seasons 15 on, and add the episode numbers there, like they are in seasons 1 through 14? Darr247 (talk) 00:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

message: This is intended to explain my rationale for making a recent POV edit.
The description for Season 31's episode "Cliffhanger" used to read: "A look at the manufactured debt crisis in United States". I looked at the transcript for the episode, and nowhere does the term "manufacture" or "manufactured" come up. The old description could be interpreted as a crisis fabricated by the GOP, and this interpretation does not seem to be supported by the transcript.
In an attempt to make it POV neutral, I changed the description to more closely reflect what is written on PBS Frontline's website, which states: "As the nation faces yet another round of fiscal crises, FRONTLINE investigates the inside history of how Washington has failed to solve the country’s problems of debt and deficit." I shortened this for the description on the Wiki page: "The inside history of how Washington has failed to solve the country’s problems of debt and deficit".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.52.241.222 (talk) 00:19, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Changed feb 2 2010 digital nation episode from 60 minutes to the correct number of minutes which is 90 minutes. You can see the evidence at this URL. The program lasts for one hour and 25 minutes, which is 90 minutes when broadcast on television with commercials and Leadins and post commercials. Please maintain this correction.
