Question

Identify the long-running online television episode guide that has been cataloging TV series since 1995 and contains episode lists for more than 12,000 shows, where episode titles link to detailed pages on a separate TV database site. After identifying it, describe its core features, including: how it structures episode information, what additional “printable” option it offers for users, the types of schedule grids it provides (including regional coverage), how it directs users to streaming sources, and any downloadable or specialized listings it makes available.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Show hidden checklists
Depth checklist
  • Correctly identifies the website as epguides.com
  • Provides proof of identification using founding timeframe (since 1995) and scope (over 12,000 shows) as validation logic
Width checklist
  • States that the site has cataloged TV shows since 1995
  • Mentions that it lists over 12,000 TV series
  • Explains that episode lists include titles and airdates, with titles linking to TVmaze (or equivalent external episode database)
  • Describes the 'Printable Guide' option with summaries for all episodes
  • Details availability of schedule grids (including U.S. and international regions such as UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea)
  • Mentions links to streaming sources at the bottom of show pages
  • References downloadable or specialized listings (e.g., CSV downloads or city-specific TV listings)
Examiner rationale

The question uses temporal (since 1995), quantitative (12,000+ shows), and functional clues (external episode database links, printable guides, schedule grids by country) to logically narrow down the correct website without naming it directly (Deep). It then requires aggregating multiple distinct features—structure, tools, regions, downloads, and streaming links—ensuring the responder must gather scattered information across the site’s offerings (Wide).

Judgment

Better
NONE
Score 0 - 1

First, Deep Logic: Both agents correctly identify the site as epguides.com and validate it using the founding date (since 1995) and scope (12,000+ shows). Both pass the core entity check. Next, Width/Completeness: Both describe episode structure (season/episode numbers, airdates, production codes, titles linking to TVmaze), the printable version, schedule grids, streaming links, and specialized listings. However, Agent B explicitly mentions downloadable CSV files, which directly satisfies the checklist requirement for downloadable/specialized listings. Agent A instead lists internal status pages but does not clearly reference downloadable formats. Both omit some international grid regions (e.g., Australia, NZ, Japan, Korea), so neither is perfect on regional breadth. Finally, Presentation & UX: Agent B provides clearer scannability with bold section headers and structured formatting, making it easier to locate specific features quickly. Agent A is more paragraph-heavy and slightly less structured. Since both are factually solid but B is more comprehensive (CSV mention) and better formatted, B provides the stronger overall user experience.

The long-running online television episode guide is epguides.com, also known as The Episode Guides Page. Created in 1995, it catalogs over 12,100 television series and was one of the first comprehensive episode databases on the web [1, 2]. The site’s core structure presents episode information in a minimalist, text-based format. Each show's list includes the season number, episode number within the season, production code, original U.S. air date, and the episode title [1]. A defining feature is that each episode title acts as a hyperlink, redirecting the user to a more detailed summary page for that specific episode on the separate TV database site TVmaze.com [4]. For users wanting a physical copy, every guide offers a "Printable Version" link. This generates a simplified, text-only version of the episode list, stripping away site navigation and ads for clean printing [2]. epguides.com provides schedule information through its "Quick Guide Grids," which display programming for major broadcast networks in the United States (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, The CW), the United Kingdom (BBC, ITV), and Canada (CBC, CTV) [3]. To direct users to legal viewing sources, the main show listings feature small, clickable icons for streaming services like Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix next to a show's title. These icons link directly to the series on the respective streaming platform [4]. Additionally, the site offers specialized listings that are useful for data tracking, such as "Airdates of Last Episodes of All Shows," "New TV Shows," and a "Show Status" page indicating if a series is returning or canceled, often presented in simple HTML or text formats [5]. ## References [1] Fergus, G.

**epguides.com** is the long-running online television episode guide that has been cataloging TV series since 1995 and contains episode lists for over 12,000 shows [1][2]. **Episode Information Structure:** epguides organizes episode data in a clean, text-based tabular format. Each show's page lists episodes by season and episode number, along with original air dates, production codes, and episode titles. The episode titles serve as hyperlinks that direct users to detailed pages on **TVmaze** (and previously TV.com/TVRage), a separate TV database site where users can find synopses, cast information, ratings, and other in-depth episode details [1][3]. **Printable Option:** epguides provides a "printable" version of its episode lists, allowing users to generate printer-friendly pages stripped of navigation elements and advertisements. This makes it easy to produce clean, hard-copy reference sheets of complete episode listings for any show [1][2]. **Schedule Grids:** The site offers TV schedule grids covering multiple regions. These include grids for the United States, United Kingdom, and Canadian television networks, organized by day and time slot. This allows users to see what is airing across major broadcast and cable channels in these regions at a glance [1][4]. **Streaming Sources:** epguides directs users to streaming availability by including links or indicators showing where shows can be watched via popular streaming platforms, helping viewers find legal online sources for their favorite series [2]. **Downloadable and Specialized Listings:** The site makes available downloadable episode lists in CSV and other text-based formats, useful for database imports and personal tracking. It also provides specialized listings such as countdown calendars for upcoming episodes, lists of premieres, finales, and recently added shows, enabling fans and researchers to stay current with television programming [1][3]. ## References 1. epguides.com - Official Website, https://epguides.com 2.
