Question

A long-running online television episode guide, active since the mid-1990s, provides title-and-airdate listings for thousands of shows and links each episode title to external databases for expanded details. It also features a "New Episodes Today" section with separate country-specific listings. Identify the two external television databases it links to for expanded episode information and corrections, describing what kind of additional details users can find there and where corrections should be directed. Then, list all the country-specific versions of the "New Episodes Today" feature, expanding each abbreviation to its full country name and explaining the context in which these country listings are presented.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Examiner rationale

The question uses deep logic by referring to a long-running TV episode guide from the mid-1990s that links episode titles to external databases, masking the specific site name. It then requires wide aggregation by asking for both external databases and all country-specific schedule listings, including expanded country names and contextual explanation. This ensures the responder must identify the correct platform and comprehensively gather multiple scattered details.

Judgment

Better

BOTH

Score 0 - 1

First, Deep Logic: Agent A incorrectly identifies the external databases as IMDb and TheTVDB, failing the core entity requirement (should be TVmaze and TV.com). Agent B correctly identifies TVmaze but incorrectly substitutes TheTVDB for TV.com, so B partially fails Deep Logic but is closer to the ground truth than A. Next, Width/Completeness: Both agents fail to list the full set of required country-specific listings (US, UK, CA, AU, NZ, JP, KR). Both only list four countries (US, UK, CA, AU). Agent A further adds incorrect European countries (DE, FR, IT, ES), introducing additional hallucinations. Neither mentions TV.com as the corrections site (B misidentifies it as TheTVDB), and neither fully explains corrections directed specifically to TVmaze or TV.com as required. Finally, User Experience & Presentation: Both are clearly structured and readable. However, Agent B is cleaner, more focused, and avoids introducing extra incorrect country listings. While still flawed, B is factually closer to the ground truth and more aligned with the expected entity (TVmaze). Therefore, Agent B is better, but not by a wide margin due to shared factual gaps.

The site described is epguides.com, which links each episode entry to two external television databases: the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and TheTVDB. IMDb provides expanded details such as full cast and crew credits, episode summaries, runtimes, user ratings, trivia, and external reviews for each episode.[1] TheTVDB supplies structured series and episode metadata including episode images, detailed descriptions, alternate titles, season/episode numbering across regions, and airing information.[2] epguides notes that corrections or additions to episode information should be submitted directly to these external databases (primarily via TheTVDB or IMDb), since epguides imports and mirrors their data rather than maintaining its own authoritative database.[1][2] The “New Episodes Today” feature on epguides offers country-specific daily listings of upcoming broadcasts. The abbreviations and their full forms are: - US – United States - CA – Canada - UK – United Kingdom - AU – Australia These four are typically grouped together at the top of the “New Episodes Today” page as selectable filters for which country’s TV schedule to display.[1] A second set of country codes is sometimes shown for international airings of US-origin series: - DE – Germany - FR – France - IT – Italy - ES – Spain These appear in the context of listing when US shows premiere or air in major European markets, separate from the primary US/CA/UK/AU domestic schedules.[1] ## References [1] https://epguides.com [2] https://thetvdb.com

The website described is **epguides.com**, a long-running online television episode guide that has been active since the mid-1990s, providing title and airdate listings for thousands of TV shows [1][2]. **Two External Television Databases:** Epguides links each episode title to two external databases for expanded episode information: 1. **TVmaze** – Users can find additional details such as episode summaries, cast information, images, and comprehensive show metadata. TVmaze serves as a primary source for episode data and corrections [1][3]. 2. **TheTVDB (The TV Database)** – This community-driven database provides detailed episode descriptions, season information, artwork, cast and crew details, and fan-contributed content. Users seeking to correct episode information (such as titles, airdates, or other metadata) are directed to submit corrections at TheTVDB, as epguides pulls its data from these external sources rather than maintaining its own editorial database [1][2]. Both databases allow users to access richer information beyond the basic title-and-airdate format that epguides provides, and any errors or omissions should be corrected at these source databases rather than at epguides itself. **Country-Specific "New Episodes Today" Listings:** The "New Episodes Today" feature on epguides is presented with separate country-specific versions, allowing users to see which episodes are airing based on their region. The country-specific listings include [1][2]: - **US** – United States - **UK** – United Kingdom - **CA** – Canada - **AU** – Australia These country listings are presented as selectable tabs or links on the epguides homepage, enabling visitors to filter the day's new episode schedule by their specific country. This reflects the fact that television scheduling varies significantly across English-speaking markets, with different premiere dates and broadcasting schedules for the same or different programs. ## References [1] Epguides.com – http://www.epguides.com/ [2] Epguides - Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epguides [3] TVmaze.com – https://www.tvmaze.com/
