Talk:Crashletes

Oddity with season one finale and season two premiere

I posted this on MPFitz1968's talk page here, but figured I'd post here as well in case anyone else had opinions. I'll just quote myself:

...one thing I find odd is that "Eaton It," which aired on September 9, 2016, is the season one finale. I mean, it does have a season one production code, but obviously that doesn't really matter. The article does say the airing for September 16, 2016—"Gym Nasty"—is the season two premiere, but it's just a bit odd considering there was a short hiatus after the episode on July 28, 2016. The way it went, it would make more sense for "Eaton It" to be the season two premiere since all new episodes from that one (September 9, 2016) and onward are airing weekly on Fridays rather than daily like before, and also because there's always a break of at least a month between season premieres and finales. Perhaps the article mentioning the renewal made a mistake somewhere. I don't know. It has a publication date of September 1, 2016, which is also a bit odd as I don't think networks would renew a show and then start airing the next season two weeks and one day after the announcement. Although that may really be more with just sitcoms as Crashletes is an unscripted series, so it doesn't really take that much time to film. I'm just going to leave season one containing 19 episodes for the time being as that seems like the safest bet based on what we've got now.

For reference, the article mentioned is in the main article. Amaury (talk | contribs) 17:17, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Nelson Twitter

Whether or not she controls the network's scheduling, it is still worth mentioning the fact that she is saying season 3 is supposedly airing in February. I will be changing the wording so instead of saying, "the show's third season will be airing in..." it will now say, "the show's third season is currently planned to air in..." The original discussion talking about the previous removal of it can be found here. Magitroopa (talk) 03:53, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Per WP:TWITTER, and assuming we are sure it is her account, we can use what she says for information about herself and her activities only and "it does not involve claims about third parties". Nelson has no authoritative knowledge of what is planned by her employer and the network and what she states can be considered no more than internal gossip and rumors. It could be phrased that this is what she stated but really we should wait for something official or from a reliable source. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: There is a verified Instagram that links to that Twitter, but still can't for sure that that is her. And the point is moot, anyway, because, again, network controls scheduling. Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:28, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't think there is any doubt it is her based on being linked from another verified account. Network controls the schedule but we can also assume that upper management in the production company (includes the show runner usually - Rob Dyrdek?) also knows what is going on so can use them as a reliable source of what the network has likely told them and they also won't say anything if the network doesn't want them to. A talent employee such as Nelson isn't part of that and is just passing rumors. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Rob Dyrdek is an executive producer, I know that. Are executive producers and showrunners the same thing? I know, for example, Dan Schneider was both executive producer and showrunner. Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

The showrunner usually gets an executive producer credit but is much more involved in the show than the other other executive producers listed. I don't know enough about the show to know what his role is. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:52, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
