Is there a bug with this question? It keeps telling me that I'm not logging the title correctly.

JSONArray shows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");

for (int i = 0; i < shows.length(); i++) { JSONObject show = shows.getJSONObject(i); String title = shows.getString("title"); Log.i ("CodeChallenge", title);
}

I keep getting the error that I am not logging the title correctly. Please help.

CodeChallenge.java 
// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json




  JSONArray shows = jsonData.getJSONArray("shows");



for (int i = 0; i < shows.length(); i++) 
    {
                    JSONObject show = shows.getJSONObject(i);
                    String title = shows.getString("title");
                   //String season = shows.getString("season");
                    //String episode = shows.getString("episode");
                       Log.i ("CodeChallenge", title);                        
    }
data.json 
{
    "name":"Netflix Playlist",
    "shows":[
        {
            "title":"Doctor Who",
            "season":8,
            "episode":3
        },
        {
            "title":"Arrow",
            "season":1,
            "episode":10
        },
        {
            "title":"Portlandia",
            "season":4,
            "episode":5
        }
    ]
}

You want to call the getString() method on your show, not shows.
