Question

A long-running online television episode catalog (active since the mid-1990s) lists thousands of TV series and links each episode title to one of two external entertainment databases for expanded details. It also instructs users to send episode corrections directly to the editors of those same databases. Identify these two external databases and, for each one, provide: (1) its founding year, (2) its original founder or parent company, (3) its current ownership or operational status, and (4) at least three types of episode-level information it provides (such as cast, summaries, or other metadata).

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist
  • TVmaze — Identified as one of the two external databases where episode titles link for expanded details and where corrections can be sent to its editors.
  • TV.com — Identified as the second external database serving the same linked episode-detail and corrections function.
Width checklist
  • Database 1: Founding year
  • Database 1: Original founder or parent company
  • Database 1: Current ownership or operational status
  • Database 1: At least three types of episode-level information (e.g., guest stars, plot summaries, airdates, crew credits)
  • Database 2: Founding year
  • Database 2: Original founder or parent company
  • Database 2: Current ownership or operational status
  • Database 2: At least three types of episode-level information (e.g., guest stars, plot summaries, user ratings, reviews)
Examiner rationale

The question uses deep reasoning by requiring identification of the two specific databases based on their functional role (external episode-detail providers and correction recipients) rather than naming them directly. It then applies wide aggregation by requiring multiple verifiable attributes (founding year, ownership history, operational status, and detailed content features) for both entities, ensuring the respondent must gather and compare information from multiple independent sources.

Judgment

Tie
NONE
Score 0 - 0

First, Deep Logic: The correct two databases are TVmaze and TV.com. Agent A identified IMDb + TV.com (missed TVmaze). Agent B identified IMDb + TVmaze (missed TV.com). Therefore, BOTH agents failed the core entity requirement. Second, Width/Completeness: For the databases they did include, both agents provided founding year, founder/parent, current ownership/status, and at least three episode-level information types. Structurally and factually, their sub-details are largely accurate. However, because each included one incorrect database (IMDb), both fail the WIDTH checklist in relation to the actual required pair. Third, User Experience & Presentation: Both responses are well-structured, clearly formatted with bold headers and bullet points, and provide rich contextual details. Agent B has slightly stronger citation density and clearer framing of epguides.com, but this does not outweigh the shared core factual error. Since BOTH agents failed the fundamental entity identification (Deep Logic), this is a LOW-quality tie despite otherwise strong formatting and completeness.

The two external databases are **IMDb** and **TV.com**. **IMDb (Internet Movie Database)** was founded in 1990 by British computer programmer Col Needham, initially as a hobby project on Usenet before launching as a commercial website [1]. Amazon acquired the database in 1998 and continues to own and operate it as a flagship entertainment property [1]. For individual television episodes, IMDb provides extensive metadata including (1) complete cast and crew credits with character names and job titles, (2) detailed plot summaries and episode-specific trivia, and (3) aggregated user ratings out of ten stars plus user-written reviews, alongside original air dates, production codes, filming locations, and technical specifications [1]. **TV.com** originated as TV Tome in 1995, founded by John Nestoriak III as a comprehensive television guide [2]. The platform was acquired by CNET Networks in 2005, rebranded as TV.com, and eventually became part of CBS Interactive, now under Paramount Global ownership [2]. The service has been largely discontinued and exists in maintenance mode [2]. It historically supplied episode-level data comprising (1) principal cast member lists, (2) concise episode summaries and recaps, and (3) original broadcast dates plus crew information, user-generated reviews, and production details [2]. The site explicitly directed users to submit all corrections to its editorial team for verification. ## References [1] IMDb.

The long-running television episode catalog is **epguides.com**, which has been active since 1995 [1]. It provides basic episode lists and directs users to click on individual episode titles for expanded details, linking them to one of two specific external databases: **TVmaze** and **IMDb (Internet Movie Database)** [1], [2]. It also notes that episode metadata corrections should be submitted directly to the editors of those respective databases [1]. **1. IMDb (Internet Movie Database)** * **Founding Year:** 1990 [3]. * **Original Founder:** Col Needham (originally founded with others as the "rec.arts.movies movie database") [3]. * **Current Ownership:** It has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon since 1998 [3]. * **Episode-Level Information:** It provides extensive episodic data including (1) full cast and crew credits (guest stars, writers, directors), (2) plot summaries and synopses, and (3) user ratings and reviews [3], [4]. It also includes release dates, trivia, and production company credits [4]. **2. TVmaze** * **Founding Year:** 2014 [5]. * **Original Founder/Parent Company:** Founded by Jan-Willem Aldershoff (under the company name TVmaze) [5]. * **Current Ownership:** It operates as an independent, crowd-sourced commercial database and community forum [5], [6]. * **Episode-Level Information:** TVmaze offers detailed episodic pages featuring (1) episode plot summaries, (2) guest cast and recurring crew character information, and (3) broadcast metadata such as air dates, runtimes, and original network or streaming platform details [5], [6]. It also provides promotional images and trailer links [6]. By relying on TVmaze and IMDb for detailed metadata, epguides.com maintains its original, lightweight format while offering users access to comprehensive, crowdsourced entertainment data [1]. ## References [1] epguides.
