Just trying to follow your system here?

Did you not want the 'Date' in the title field, and same as IMDB?
IMDB has series general as Adventures Of Superman (1952).

Epguides (which I figured you were going by?), lists:
Ep: Superman's Wife (6.9) airing 31 Mar 58
Ep: Perils Of Superman (6.12) airing 21 Apr 58

I have the epguides #'s for 3 other Superman (1952) ready to go,
Just want to follow your system here,
Thanx

Re: Superman Questions?
David:
Noticed some Lois & Clark entries with the same system.

IMDB has that as Lois & Clark (1993), which what I was figuring on going with here.

Don't want to get crossed up with you again,
so going to hold off abit here.
Let me know how you want them entered?
Thanx

Thanx

I was just going to ask you about the same thing. Great minds think alike! I never really understood why we put years next to movie titles but not TV series, even when there are up to four TV series with the same name (Frex there are three series with the title "The Invisible Man", plus another called simply "Invisible Man").

IMHO, the episode date (June 6, 1958) doesn't provide useful information, whereas the episode number might be helpful if a TV station is showing the episodes in order. On the other hand, identifying the series by year in the title might clear up confusion about the series where a scene occurs, i.e., Invisible Man, The (2000).

P.S. I just noticed that someone went back and added the dates to the various entries for "The Invisible Man".

David:
That was me who changed 'Invisible Man', and for the very reason you mentioned.
Alfred Hitchcock, Zorro, Robin Hood, etc, are others.

Figure going by the IMDB title,
would help clear up which is which, same as yourself.

Les vacances de l'amour DB No. 3754
Hi there, they are showing this show on German TV right now. I have a correction for the Database entry number 3754.

It reads:

Tied up standing with her hands over head and has a knotted cleave-gag in her mouth. After a short interrogation, she's put into a coffin, re-gagged with her wrists re-tied in front.

It should read:

Tied standing up with her hands overhead and is gagged with a large wad of mouth packing, which is held in place by a piece of light blue cloth. Later this is removed for a short interrogation, but the next time we see her she is gagged again in the same way. Later in the episode three guys come into the room, cut the rope attaching her hands to the bar above her head and force her into a coffin. She is still gagged in the same way, but of course her hands are now resting in front of her tied together.

I agree where they may be uncertainty (ZORRO, etc.), but I don't see a need for a date for series such as WALKER.

If that was implied in your comments ... never mind. <g>

On the ep title front: Are we going with "Episode unknown" (no quotes in the entry) or "Unknown episode" when the title's missing? I'd advocate the latter, as it dispels any confusion as to whether the actual title might be "Unknown".

Biff,

What's the harm in putting down the year for a TV series? We do it for movies? I don't see the distinction.

I concede the point in favor of "Unknown episode" -- so long as it's the first line of the scene description and is separated by two carriage returns from the next sentence.

There's no harm in it ... it's just unnecessary for IDing save instances where it'll distinguish one series from another (e.g., ZORRO).

I'm not going to worry about it otherwise, unless you can persuade me I'm off in my logic here.

"Description: Unknown episode

(Scene details)"

Absolutement, mon ami ... same as with a titled ep.
