List of Extra Credits episodes
The first videos before the debut of webseries Extra Credits were released on YouTube by the series' co-creator Daniel Floyd. The show was then picked up by The Escapist for the first 54 episodes before a contractual dispute forced the show to leave and be picked up by PATV. Technical limitations with PATV's site forced the official episodes to be categorized in seasons of 26 episodes each since the move.
Beginning on January 1, 2014, episodes are being posted exclusively on Extra Credits' YouTube channel.
