    I like the distinction of “Volumes” as the creators intended, and as reflected in the DVDs, and then seasons referring to the broadcast seasons.

    This and the season numbering for American Dad! Why won’t the networks think of the media archivists and their personal media servers?

      Mine got confused months ago when someone uploaded an older season and called it season 8. But I also had to manually search the episode this morning because so far everyone uploaded it as S11.

    Could you explain? Can’t really call myself a fan, but I just reactivated my subscription for the new season and was surprised at the season count being much higher than I remembered.

      There have been so far 8 production seasons, and 11 broadcast seasons. The DVD box sets, and many other sources, used the order and numbering from the production seasons, whereas hulu / disney+ have been using the broadcast numbering, hence the confusion.

      Some people count the DVD movies as sessions. I think they broke each of the three movies into its own season of episodes.
