The iTunes listings for the TV show The Wire are wrong! How do I tell them, and get my correct episode?

Question

I went to the iTunes store and looked up the hit TV show The Wire. Doing so gives me alist of all 50 episodes, starting with episode 1 which it calls "The Wire". Makes sense since most TV shows start off with an episode called pilot or shares the main title of the show, but in reality the show it lists as Episode 2 "The Target" is actually Episode 1. The episode called the Wire is actually episode 6. Instead of viewing all episodes together I went into just Season1 where each episode seems to be listed in correct order, etc.

Answer 1

You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.
