As the title states, there are two entries for Da Ali G show. The first entry is for the first season and the other entry is for seasons 2 and 3.
Now, I know the show changed networks between seasons 1 and 2, but it was still the same show after this change. And everywhere I looked online all three seasons are listed as belonging to the same show.

Hi Marlon,

Thanks for your message. Please see https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/guide/title_formats

One Series or Two?
On occasion some titles warrant a second series listing though this is subjective and each case has to be judged on its own merits i.e Arrested Development (one), 24 and 24: Live Another Day (two) etc. Here are some of the criteria to consider when trying to define whether a series should be listed as one or two titles: the length of time that has passed between the seasons, significant changes to the credits including production details, how the series is marketed when released and perceived by the public and if there were any changes to the primary title.

Now in this case it seems as if HBO launched the series as a separate entity and was very much seen as season 1 when it aired. In light of this we will retain the series as 2 separate listings.

Regards,
Will
