Duplicate series titles

In an attempt to add a recent episode to "The Verdict with Judge Hatchett (2016-)," a duplicate series was created titled "The Verdict with Judge Hatchett (2019)." I'm simply trying to remove this second series, because it does not exist. I've tried to merge it with the actual series, but the site won't allow me to because the release dates are in different years. When I ran into this problem, I removed the release date from the incorrect series, so it now appears "The Verdict with Judge Hatchett (????)," but I'm still unable to merge it with the correct series, which is "The Verdict with Judge Hatchett (2016-)." How can I fix this problem? Thanks!

Merge it into the episode you have hopefully now created.

Hi Jeff -

I have now merged the duplicate series to the existing series title.  

If you encounter future similar situations where the form will not allow a series merge due to the year mismatch, if there is no data that needs to be preserved from the duplicate title, you can also request a Title Deletion of the duplicate through our Contact Form following the path: IMDb Fan/Contributor questions > Titles > Delete a title and our support team an take a look, in the last contact path option you can also select "Merge duplicate titles" and you can explain the form complication so a staff member can manually perform the merge for you.
