Talk:List of The Colbert Report episodes

message: How come the lines for the continuation of S2 are screwed up? Can somebody fix that? I would myself, but editing the columns is crazy confusing. Also, why is there "Season 2 continued"? Why not just put them together? -- Kicking222 00:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I dont understand what you mean by the lines being screwed up. Anyway, I was the one who split it up because the section was getting too big. I cut it in half but maybe we should cut it closer to the end and then when the season is over when can stick it back together. It's just annoying trying to edit the table when there is so much of it. --Bp0 03:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I would guess that it is because there will be more than 99 episodes this season and an extra digit is needed so that the episode numbers dont go into the 300's in the second season. Check the comments in the section "#Episode number mismatch" on this page. --Bp0 02:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Can someone link the Articles on the Congressional Districts featured on "Better Know A District" back to the main article, The Colbert Report?  This needs to be done regularly (or at least as often as the segment airs).  I'm not as diligent as I wish I were. For example, on United States House of Representatives, Georgia District 1, I included:

thread_title: Upcoming dates

message: Can anyone tell me in which episode Stephen did his impression of an old gold prospector, repeatedly shouting out "GOLD!", during the better know a district segment? It was notable because he visibly broke character by laughing at himself when the camera prematurely cut back while he was still doing the impression. 
:There was also another premature cut-back while he was doing the "Sounds of Ramadan" in the Ramadan vs Halloween edition of Stephen settles the debate. It's hard to say whether it was accidental or a running feature. Gallaghp 11:20, 9 December 2005 (GMT)
:I think it must have been Rep. Mark Udall (D) of Colorado's 2nd District. Colorado is the only location of the five (or however many) that he's done that would have had a gold rush, and I think it was one of the later ones. I can tell you for sure it wasn't barney frank, because I missed that episode, and it wasn't Tubbs-Jones, because I saw that one twice and his talk about the district before hand made fun of that river that caught on fire, and all the immigrants and stuff.

message: I must have missed something. Why are there no new episodes of The Report this week (2/13 - 2/16), while The Daily Show isn't taking the week off? --128.205.218.25 13:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" do not follow the same taping schedule. There was at least one week last year where "The Daily Show" was on reruns, but Colbert was taping new material. --WikiPlayer 05:28, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's an excellent idea actually. There'd be periods you'd be without a show, but now we can mostly assume that if one will be down, the other will be up. It gets confusing though, if they play a rerun of the daily show because then it shows a different Colbert interview than what will come on next. Tyciol 08:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The episode numbers in this list do not match up with the numbers used on the Colbert Nation website.  In this a mistake? --TreyHarris 03:29, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's other ways to number a show besides simple consecutive numbering which the Colbert Nation site uses -- the other common one is to do season#+ep#. So the first episode in the first season is 101, the first episode in the second season is 201, etc. I'm assuming the reason there's a discrepancy between the 100s and the 2000s is because the editor assumed the second season would have 100+ episodes. Nobi 05:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed them initially to reflect what Comedy Central uses on its schedule. In the first season, the episode numbers had three digits and now they have four. Incidentally, the Daily Show is up to five digits. Frozenpork 20:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: If this page is going to continue (and of course, if it's not, it should just be deleted now), it should really be split up, as it's very, very long.

For the record (since I checked), they are 12-15/1-9, 2-9/2-21, 4-6/4-17, 5-18/6-5, 6-29/7-10, 8-24/9-11. Maybe at the end of the season (around xmas?) the groupings can be quantitized.

text: I removed a sentence that is overly complex when not delivered in context and is an in-joke from a previous episode.  The summary is still too long. --Meadowbrook 23:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The summary is not too long, and it's missing the tip/wag segment. Most of the summaries should be longer and more descriptive. --Bp0 01:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also missing the Mel Gibson riff and the interview, both which actually made bona fide news.  There's definitely more that can be said about the episode. JDoorjam     Talk 03:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree more can be said about the episode, but I think less can be said about the word segment.  It seems like blatant self-admiration on the part of wikipedians.  The Word segment can easily be summarized in two sentences and not provide a paraphrased transcript. --Meadowbrook 23:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject List of Television Episodes compliance 

message: It is said that in Episode 133 according to Wikipedia that this is the first time Stephen Colbert acknowledges the bullets in the Word, when he actualy does in Episode 132.  Colbert is talking about how he was to young for either the Korean or Vietnam War, I forget which, and how he was to old for the Gulf War, the bullet than reads "27's to old??" and he addresses the "bullet" by saying "Shutup."  So he first acknowledges the "bullet" in Episode 132, not 133.
::I know I've seen him address the bullets before.  For example, in Episode 27, "The Wørd" starts out as "Hell Yes!" and quickly switches to "Hell, No!" when Colbert stares at it.  I've also seen him acknowledge them before, saying "That's right, bullet!", although I can't think of an instance where he does this off of the top of my head.  I don't believe this information needs to go in the episode guides. - Nofactzone 17:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode 133 correction 

message: I noticed the switch to the new table format. A problem that I noticed is that whenever an episode doesn't have a Wørd, the table implies that the Wørd is actually "None". It automatically appears in boldface and with quotation marks. C. M. Harris 23:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's because "the Wørd" is the "Title" field of the template and "Title" isn't supposted to be empty. Quite frankly, I don't even know is it the right way to do. If Stephen Colbert stop doing "the Wørd" bit, we might need to rearrage certain fields once again. One key benefit of the new format is that it allow much cleaner format for the ease of extracting information. When that really happen, the effort of modification would be minimal. Actually, if you look closely there are some inconsistances all over the place. Sometimes it is None, other time there is "". I think we should come to a consensus of whether we should use "None", "N/A","---", or "" Samic 01:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that a link to a footnote reading "There was no 'The Wørd' segment in this episode" would be better than "None", "---", or the like. C. M. Harris 22:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Me too... like you said, the way it is implied that the Word that episode was "None." A fix of some sort is in order, if for no other reason than that is the Word actually ever was "None" we'd be unable to show that easily.--Hawkian
Well, the unique nature of this list has lead me to believe that a custom template is in order. If something is not filled out it will still make a table cell, just blank. Do you guys want to stick to this column order or position some differently?  and the parameters are:

This is just what I threw up real quick, but the basic idea won't change. The template will be edited so that future updates to the LOE style will be applied, but won't break anything drastic (most likely minor technical changes). Thoughts? -- Ned Scott 10:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I ended up adding the season 3 section/table, and didn't understand if season 2's color had been left blank because the dividers were added partway through the season, and it was easier to color season 1's dividers, or if there was a rule that previous seasons were such and such a color and the current season was left blank. In any case, I ended up leaving the season 2 dividers the same blank color, and made "FF4111" as the color for season 3. At least unless someone changes it. -- Viewdrix 02:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
