	I think we need to be consistent when referring to separate runs of the show. Lumping two dates together when the show had a break in its run from 1980 to 1985 is not good practice. Sure, it's mentioned later in the article, but if it's right in one place, it needs to be right in all cases, not a few. ] (]) 04:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

	:Yes, however an infobox is supposed to show the length of the run from original beginning to final end (see '']'', for example). Episode numbers and show runs are not lumped in if one or two versions have their own article (such as '']''). ] (]) 22:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

	::I disagree. That field has always been fishy. It's better to leave it out than confuse the reader with bad information. ] (]) 23:24, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

	:::...Misinformation? "Fishy"? I'm sorry, sir, but I disagree. The run length needs to be in there, and there's plenty of things that cause the reader to go "Okay, they're just telling me the run, and I can see here that it's two separate runs - and they're lumping it together to show me that this is how long the shows have run altogether under this title." ] (]) 23:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

	::::You're assuming that everyone knows what we know. That's an assumption you can't make. Not everyone is "in the know" as fans are. Furthermore, if one just read the dates "September 4, 1972 - September whatever 1986", they're going to think that's ONE start date and ONE end date. You can't assume everyone will think the way you do. I refuse to edit the article anymore. ] (]) 23:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

	:::::...Sorry. :-( Truly, I am. I placed it back in like how you had it to begin with. The first airdates for each version are in the "first_aired" portion while the last airdates are in the "last_aired" portion. I ''was'' going to make a counter that it just looked "wrong" to me, however I see your point. I mean no offense to you in any way, and your contributions are helpful.

	::::::I'm sorry too. Everything is OK now. It's always a work in progress on that page. But, I will say this. The pitchfilm is just a pitchfilm. It's only used to sell the show to stations, so, as you've said, it was never meant for air.

	::Understandable. I've had several pages I worked on edited for the sole reason that I had removed that redundancy.
