Why are the DVD seasons and IMDB episode listings different?

On DVD, season 1 has 13 episodes: "Pitch Pilot" to "Swimming in Oblivion"
season 2 has 13 episodes: "Der Dieb" to "Return to Oblivion"
season 3 had 13 episodes: "Splitsville" to "Neptunati" *
season 4 had 13 episodes: "Isla de las Chupacabras" to "Legacy of Laughter" *
*(I'm guessing on seasons 3 and 4 because I don't own them and didn't see any episode listings on Amazon.com)

Now, compare this to the IMDB listings:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0278877/episodes

It seems to me like every new season started in November, and thus the DVD releases are more correct. Anyone know whether or not I'm right about that?

Wow, memories of one of the most confusing parts of running that old Sealab fansite I used to have..

IMDB is normally not the best source for episode lists anyway (it takes ages to get them to change mistakes, if they ever do) but Sealab's ep guides are particularly rough on any site. Episodes were produced out of order, episodes had their titles changed, some people count the three pilots as a season while some don't, it was often unclear where one season ended and the next begun, and so on.

Pretty much every episode guide on the Internet will tell you something different. In the end I just findit easier to go by the DVD lists.
