:::A good guidline is at [[Wikipedia:Centralized_discussion/Television_episodes#Conclusions]]. - [[User:Peregrinefisher|Peregrinefisher]] 05:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

::::That is a good general guideline for TV series, but the question with game shows is "what are you going to talk about episode by episode?" If you have a decent answer to that question then go for it. I don't have an answer to that question so I, personally, would not bother with an episode list or individual episode articles.

:::For further reference, here's what WikiProject Television has to say about it -

'''Episode listing'''

A good plot description covering major story arcs is much more important then a list of episodes. For most TV shows, creating separate articles for each and every episode is not desired. Expansion of episodic information should be proportional to the series' noteworthiness, and progress as follows:

# A short list of episodes is sometimes appropriate in the main article. The list should be a table with the episode title, airdate, and a one- or two-sentence summary.

# The list of episodes can be moved to a separate page when it grows too large for the main article. Please follow the conventions of WikiProject List of Television Episodes. A good example of an episode list is [[List of Firefly episodes]].

# The main episode list can be split further grouped by season ([[24 (season 3)]]) to allow room for longer episode summaries and production information. A summary of the season's main story points should be included as an introduction.

# Individual episodes which are particularly noteworthy can be split from the season lists into their own pages.

Does that provide an answer for you? [[User:CovenantD|CovenantD]] 06:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
