We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I am attempting to archive/amalgamate organise all my tv shows. I have 12 hard drives and have difficulty trying to accurately find out which shows are definitive ongoing or cancelled.

What are the best suggestions for accurate up-to-date shows that are cancelled or ongoing? this would make it so much easier.

have difficulty trying to accurately find out which shows are definitive ongoing or cancelled.

Especially over the last few years that tends to change a lot more often than it used to. Cancelled shows get brought back, sometimes by the same network, often by a different network. It is legit hard to keep up with, and I doubt there is a 100% reliable source at any given time. That said, I use next-episode.net which mostly pulls info from thetvdb.com It usually gets updated quickly enough that I don't miss too much, but it's by no means 100% accurate.
