Inconsistency between OMDB API and OMDB.org

[robinjanssens]

OMDB API gives the following episode information back when querying for Family Guy Season 1:

http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=<key>&t=Family%20Guy&Season=1

- {'Title': 'Family Guy', 'Released': 'N/A', 'Episode': '0', 'imdbRating': '7.2', 'imdbID': 'tt5009240'}
- {'Title': 'I Never Met the Dead Man', 'Released': '1999-04-11', 'Episode': '2', 'imdbRating': '7.5', 'imdbID': 'tt0576942'}
- {'Title': 'Chitty Chitty Death Bang', 'Released': '1999-04-18', 'Episode': '3', 'imdbRating': '7.6', 'imdbID': 'tt0576924'}
- {'Title': 'Mind Over Murder', 'Released': '1999-04-25', 'Episode': '4', 'imdbRating': '7.5', 'imdbID': 'tt0576948'}
- {'Title': 'A Hero Sits Next Door', 'Released': '1999-05-02', 'Episode': '5', 'imdbRating': 'N/A', 'imdbID': 'tt0576911'}
- {'Title': 'The Son Also Draws', 'Released': '1999-05-09', 'Episode': '6', 'imdbRating': '7.2', 'imdbID': 'tt0576972'}
- {'Title': 'Brian: Portrait of a Dog', 'Released': '1999-05-16', 'Episode': '7', 'imdbRating': '7.5', 'imdbID': 'tt0576923'}

Episode 1 is missing while there is an episode 0 with the imdbID of episode 1, but with the wrong title.

also querying on the specific episode doesn't work as episode 1 is not found only episode 0

http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=<key>&t=Family%20Guy&Season=1&Episode=0 -> exists http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=<key>&t=Family%20Guy&Season=1&Episode=1 -> doesn't exist

The website episode guide shows the correct data.

I am seeing missing seasons. For example, Westworld through the API shows a total of 3 seasons, and can only return data for season 3. Yet all 4 seasons are showing in OMDB.org. This has been happening recently with other titles too.

I was under the impression omdbapi draws from wikidata not omdb.org
