Hi!
This seems to be one of the most complete and up-to-date DL NBC episode lists out there. I really appreciate the work that those who keep it that way must have to do. Thanks.
I find that having the episode production code/title included very useful.
For example MO1752 was called "Inside The Cell" according to the title screens shown during the broadcast.
If that entry were to be updated using the show title then it looks like the production tile MO1752 would be replaced.
So, I would like to propose that either the title field be updated to retain the production title - as in...
MO1752 - Inside The Cell
...or the production title be added as the first text item in the Episode Summary field - as in...
MO1752 A report from London chronicles...
Presumably the production title code incorporates the DAy, SEason and WEek that the program was originally broadcast.
For example MO1752 was broadcast on MOnday 15-Sep-08 and NBC is promoting kicking off its new season on MOn 22-Sep-08, so Friday's DL NBC will probably be FR1752.
However, if there was a DL NBC on Monday, it would probably be MO1801. (There won't be one because of the Heroes "Premiere Event", etc. so the next Dateline Monday would probably be MO18XX where XX is the week in Season 18 when it airs.)
Note that the LAST entry you have for "Season 16" is SU1746...
Then they took a 4 week break during the Olympics -- returning with the FIRST entry you have listed for "Season 17": FRI1750 "Mystery of the Missing Millionaire".
So, it looks like what you have listed as "Season 16" is really most of Season 17 (SU1705 to SU1746) and we are just about to begin Season 18 on or after Mon 22-Sep-08.
Perhaps these entries for "Season 17": FRI1750, FRI1751, MO1752 - plus FRI1752 TBA on 19-Sep-08 - should be left as Season 17 and then a new Season 18 be started for the upcoming broadcasts.

I am the one who had been working to keep it updated each week. I noticed the other day that the seasons were wrong and will handle it, thanks. Also, thanks for the info you added. I get my titles from futon critic but sometimes they leave a blank. |

Hi Me!
Great job!
I'll have to check out futon critic.
This a pretty good Dateline list too...
http://ca.tv.yahoo.com/dateline-nbc/show/29874/season/65302;_ylt=AgTH1L6W.81aAlZp3SQaNhBfLYl4
...but they replace the production codes with titles when they have them also.
I hope you agree with the value of displaying both the production code and the show title (if available).
Let's see if I can work this hyper link button...
Dateline NBC - Page 9 - Yahoo! TV
Hmm.. that's cool!
