Not to dig up an old can of worms here, as I'm pretty sure everyone on this wiki knows, there was a controversy over how many episodes the series ended with in the longrun. Adam, Eddy and ABC are in the boat of '156 episodes with Smash the Mirror making up episodes 8 & 9' which was reinforced when the home media release of season 4 came out in 2015, touting 23 episodes. Presumably, this led to the episode count of season 4 reading 22 (23 hours) to avoid any massive overhaul to the pages and previous info. This settled the dust until when the exit interview from Adam and Eddy came out, touting the series would end with 156 episodes, Peep linked some tweets from Adam in the forums explaining how they came up with that total (Season 1-22, Season 2-22, Season 3-22, Season 4-23, Season 5-23, Season 6-22, Season 7-22 and when pressed further with this, he said 'Smash the Mirror was two hours yes but for the purposes of total episode and season count, is considered 2 seperate episodes even though it aired in one night', later posting a screencap from the series' Netflix feed to prove this point in the conversation). While Junky basically said 'At this point, let's just ignore him. Show's ending soon anyway, no point in realigning the episode count now', it was proposed by FrancisPaul that those tweets be linked in the show page, split the difference to say Once broadcast 155 episodes but had aired 156 hours in streaming and home video, yet it wasn't followed up upon. Here's my proposal: To obtain the most pristine accuracy, we should further acknowledge the disperency of the episode count by noting the streaming/home media numbers from season 4 episode 8 onward in the Season 4 templates and episode intro statements in the succeeding episodes. This way, the basic facts won't be compromised. Hopefully, you will take the time to read and consider my proposal.
