Item: Highlander: The Series
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander:_The_Series_(season_4) correctly shows 22 episodes, not to mention the wrong title/descriptions matching episodes which goes off on episode 19 ("Double Jeopardy") which is missing altogether, throwing off everything that follows. I wouldn't presume to correct the episode information, but it is impossible to even add place holders for episodes 21-22 as the status is locked and can't be changed.

The episodes "Double Geopardy" and "One Minute to Midnight" were produced in the context of the 4th season but were only broadcasted in the United States (origin country of this series) during the 5th season. For this reason, these 2 episodes are listed in the 5th season.

This is not accurate. The Highlander TV series was made for broadcast in the UK and was broadcast in the UK before being broadcast in the US. It released in both countries on the same day(3-Oct.-92), but technically aired in the UK first because of the 5 hour time difference. The episode order used on IMDB is the episode order from the VHS release of the show, which is the original UK broadcast order. A few episodes were broadcast out of order in the US due to shipping issues with the broadcast tapes. The UK order should take priority as it is 5 hours ahead of the US. In the UK the 2 episodes in question aired during series 4 as the 19th and 22nd episodes respectively. Of course this also means the entirety of Season 5 is incorrectly numbered.
FTR, I have been trying to get IMDB to correct the air dates for those episodes, as they are using the UK broadcast order but the US air dates.

As explained here, the series was created to be broadcasted in the United States :
Furthermore, there are no United Kingdom production companies credited.
Consequently, the origin country of this series should be the United States.
By the way, the United Kingdom broadcast has only started in April 1994 (more that one year after the United States broadcast) as indicated here.
