The airing pattern seems to be three new episodes per week on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday:

* 0/1/2 on 1st/2nd/3rd
* 4/5/6 on 8th/9th/10th
* 7/8/9 on 15th/16th/17th
* 10/11/12 on 22nd/23rd/24th
* 13/14/15? on 29th/30th/July1st?

It remains to be seen how the broadcast video corresponds to the schedule as June 4th already had the hiccup of misbroadcasting the 2nd episode a second time rather than debuting the 3rd.

This may have been a localized error involving PBS Buffalo (WNYO) as it has not been confirmed for other PBS outlets.

## September weirdness

Three episodes which have already aired are scheduled to re-record due to alterations in the "Original air date" field displays. Strangely these aren't even the dates they're debuting in early September, but rather state for LATER in September.

* Episode 5 (June 15) Fair Weather and Home Sweet Home is running 1 September 2020 listing OAD of 18 September 2020
* Episode 1 (June 2) Saved From the Bell and The Right Stuff is running 3 September 2020 listing OAD of 10 September 2020
* Episode 8 (June 16) The Feed for Speed and An Uphill Task is running 4 September 2020 listing OAD of 21 September 2020
* Episode 10 (June 22) The Butterfly Chasers and Something Shady is running 7 September 2020 listing OAD of 22 September 2020
* Episode 13 (June 29) Sound of Ice Cream and Reflection Connection is running 8 September 2020 listing OAD of 24 September 2020
* Episode 2 (June 3) Tail of One Kitty and Movie Theater Meltdown is running 9 September 2020 listing OAD of 11 September 2020
* Episode 11 (June 23) Turtle Beach and Shine a Light on Me is running 10 September 2020 listing OAD of 23 September 2020
* Episode 3 (June 4/7/25) The Lake Mistake and Plant Problem is running 11 September 2020 listing OAD of 14 September 2020

This goofup could lead people watching the series and reading the guide at a later date to think these episodes debuted in late September despite them all debuting in June. It is unclear why these descriptions now list incorrect dates. They aren't even accurate to the dates the episodes are being rerun at.
