Homicide: Life On The Street

All episodes on IMDb do not match up with Peacocks' 

Anyone know why?

@stefsterNYC From the episode guidelines at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/episode-guidelines/GDF7HR6CCCBKU3CP

Please note that it is IMDb policy to list the episodes of a series in the order that they originally aired. Please do not submit any changes to episode numbers to match any subsequent releases. The most famous example of this is "Firefly" (2002), where the episodes are listed in the order they were first released by Fox, not in the intended chronological order.

The same situation likely applies here and IMDb reflects the original broadcast order. 

Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham​ sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. You just showed me IMDb rules and that's not helpful to me. Are you saying that whoever created the IMDb page for the show messed up? 

I'm looking for an answer as to why the listings on here don't match the episodes on Peacock. It appears season 3 is correct, but not 1 and 2.

@stefsterNYC​ No, we are saying that if the order on Peacock is different than on IMDb, then Peacock are using different rules for their order. Our order reflects the original broadcast order per our rules; we cannot comment on what order Peacock are using.

But Peacock is the original channel (NBC) that originally aired the show back in 93'. It's not like it's a separate app like Pluto or Netflix. 

Where are you getting your data from? NBC database?

@Maya​ thanks. I'm not looking to contact anyone, but the episodes don't match at all and that should be a red flag.

Some of the order changes are mentioned in trivia:

Wikipedia also has a note about it:
