Austin City Limits Forums

I'm working on inputting all 32 seasons worth of episodes. When I earned the guide, there were 25ish episodes. But some of those were repeats that needed to be recycled. And they all needed to be renumbered into seasons. I entered 10ish episodes before realizing that my numbering system was off by one. So, I went back and fixed those. (This all happened before the nifty renumbering tool was introduced).

For seasons 13-32, I have air dates. But, I'm missing air dates for the first 12 seasons. Because of the way PBS works, individual PBS affiliates have the option of airing the show whenever they want (according to the licensing agreement). I made a conscious decision to use the air dates of KLRU, ACL's producing station. I did this for several reasons.
1) The ACL website, when it lists air dates, uses KLRU's dates.
2) In searching newspaper articles for original dates, the most info was available about ACL's home station.

Play lists for each episode are located in the recap.

I'm adding performers as guest stars IF they are already in the system. Some of the local Austin acts don't have or need guides here at TV.com. However, if they can't be listed as guest stars, I am trying to provide the MP3.com link in the notes section.

Some of the Seasons (26 especially) included episodes that were designated "Classics." These episodes were exact repeats of episodes that had aired in previous seasons. In some cases they given a new production number. I have not included these episodes in the guide. Instead, I've noted it on the original episode. There are some exceptions. If the "Classic" episode combined two or more episodes, I included it because it wasn't exact repeat. If you feel differently about this, let me know and we'll discuss it. I'm always open to suggestions.

As always, any help in inputting info is appreciated. I've created a master spreadsheet that has all the info, I was able to gather, so if you want to enter an episode, but don't know some piece of info, PM me. We'll combine info. Otherwise, thanks!

I don't understand why the term "Naruto" has been made a tag for this show. Naruto is a Japanese anime (animated tv series) that, as far as I can tell, has no connection whatsoever to Austin City Limits; yet because of this tag, if one searches for "Naruto," Austin City Limits comes up as one of the search results. It makes no sense to me. Is there some way to remove a tag? Thanks.
