it's mind-blowing to me how they will allow 4 episode break in the middle of the show's hottest storyline. You just don't miss things like that. If you have time to record trailers and actors encouraging people to watch, you have time to check the unpremiered videos, or remove copyright music and etc - youtube actually gives you the opportunity to delete the music only and keep the video, so if you want, you can still keep the episode online.

I hear you, but that’s a perfect ideal world, which does not exist. The person responsible for uploading should have QA’d, but perhaps they simply didn’t check? Others seem to think missing episodes are deliberately skipped, but perhaps this is not the case. Can’t it just be a tech error, or human error?

I doubt they will take action after 1 or 2 emails. It would need to be multiple people.

What makes you think this? There is a person behind the mailbox. Have you emailed before and got no reply? Share your experience.

I said that I doubt, not that they won't. From my personal experience with these kind of things, and seeing how for months and months they ignored all the complaints in the youtube comment section and on twitter, till finally Casey said something after months and months... I think it's safe to say that more people emailing may signal that it's an important issue to be addressed. They would want to stop the emails from coming and be more inclined to fix it. I'm not saying - bombard them with emails, just write your grievance about the missing episodes and that's it. Write down the numbers... And we'll see what happens. I will update you if they reply to me.

Yes, I do agree that perfect worlds don't exist... that's a general statement, BUT because of people complaining about the quality of episodes every single day for months - I am one of these people, they decided to do something about. I definitely think constructive good criticism is good. I mean, we all have one goal in common - they want to make the show more popular and get more views... and we ARE these views. We also share, hype up these episodes around the internet, so we are part of the process too. So it's a win win on both sides. I mean, them uploading episodes in 360p in 2024 was... borderline offensive to modern day viewers. I wrote to them multiple times on youtube that it's unwatchable on big TVs. Thank God, they heard our cries... and that's why NOW we all have this 1080i quality.

So, 4 episodes missing from a crucial moment in the show, is something I would be asking them again about. They can ignore if they want, of course. It's free, they don't have to do anything. But I will be asking and emailing. 

So  - yes, world is not perfect, but constructive criticism and feedback is crucial for improving things.

Oh dear, this isn't good at all! I'd rather they waited to deliver S15 than do this botch job.

I strongly suggest we continue emailing them. Something needs to be done about this. It's a huge fiasco to miss so much episodes and expect people to still watch. They will lose viewers like this.

BTW  - still no reply to my original email.

Good idea. They should maybe have had Jennifer Gareis saying "and coming August 15 is 3/4s of Season 15!"

God I'm getting so f-cking mad. This is my favorite season after 1993! And they f-ck it up! Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh!

They'd better not skip the Season 15 episodes that are only available in German (no offence meant, but the original language is the Holy Grail). That would make my blood boil.

I recall @rsclassicfanforever posting how the channel had uploaded up to episode 3687 as of February 29th of this year, so the episodes we're seeing now were uploaded at least six months ago, or more. Plenty of time to go back and fill in the gaps. It sounds like they upload episodes randomly, not sequentially.

Given the timestamps of when these upcoming episodes are set to 'premiere', those episodes mentioned earlier above are well and truly going to be skipped. The channel is a gift but I can't help but be disappointed at these gaps that might never be fixed. Just look at the gaps in Season 18, and that was uploaded years ago.
