Skip's right on this one...this makes sense and is simple. Any other method opens up all sorts of possibilities and room for debate. Does this one? Of course, but we'll have a lot less "exceptiions to the rule" than any other method. Option #2 won't give ANY room for exceptions or discussions, as it is plain simple and clear.  |

There are Episodes of M*A*S*H for instance that Loretta Swit(for example) does not appear even though she is credited for ALL episodes.

| | Posted: | | | | That is true skip... but they would still be credited in dvdprofiler... because they are still in the main credits... so they are still credited for that episode whether they are in it or not. | | | | Pete |

The question is a simple one and while it won't apply in every situation, thank you, Hollywood, it will apply to most. A person who is intorduce mide-season in opening credits should only be billed with each set of Episode data for the remainder of that Season, after all they do NOT appear in all Episodes. Assuming in the next season they keep the opening credits the same, that person would then become an above the divider credit. This rreally is very simple, why are we making it so hard.
Skip I completely agree with Skip. I've just edited a season of Buffy, just to see how the dividers work etc. Without even reading this discussion I did as described above....it seems to make the most sense logically. |

just being in more then 1 episode for the season shows they are recurring characters... if they are not in the main credits every week they should not be in the main section... that is showing false information you look at it above and you think they are in every episode.
Now I can ask you.. if they are not in every episode and they are listed in the main section how do we know they are not in every episode??
You said yourself that... and I quote "but they do list at the beginning, and it varies somewhat from week to week"... if it varies week to week they are not credited every episode. So they would go under every episode that they are credited for... not credit them for the entire season and let people guess which episode they are in... or let people think they are in every episode. We're talking about two different things here. Recurring cast are those people who are under contract who are the main stars of the show, and they may not always be IN every show. Their status is high enough that they rate their name in lights at the beginning of the show. The "extra" cast is normally listed at the end of the show right after the producer's name. Those are the names that would go in the 'divided' sections for each episode. | | | John

Made the dividers bold to make them easier to see.
Now that the same individual can be listed multiple times, it's easier to specify their roles per episode this way (eg: Kyle Herbert or Chris Sabat). By the same token, listing the same person over and over for a role they're going to continue to have for a while would get old fast, so I think I really would prefer to use this main/episodic role separation.
There were no extra entries for episode 3. Should there be a blank divider for it? Is it better to spell out 'Episode', or should it be like Pete's example and just use the number? Alternatively, the episode dividers could include the language they belong to (eg: Episode 1 (en): Oneday), but that seems unnecessarily redundant to me.
Edit: oh, and they should all have (voice) tagged at the end, but leaving that off for simplicity at the moment. | | | | Last edited: by Kinematics |

| | Posted: | | | | To me, Option 2 = no good. If we go to Option 2, we should at least list the main cast at the top, and then also for each episode.
I don't even know what the issue is here. Opening credits (show intro) go at the top - everyone else in episode dividers. Seems really, REALLY simple. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

it looks pretty good online too. I think it really is the best way to go. I agree, plus if you reenter the primary cast names over and over again it slows everything down. With the current error of duplicating names on id submitted TV profiles has slowed my system to a creep. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

The recurring cast IS THE MAIN CAST. That's why they're called "recurring." Your definition of Recurring Cast is not the same as ours. The way we are using it Main Cast means people that are credited in every episode even when they are not in said episode. Recurring Cast would be semi-regulars that are only credited in the episodes they are in. As an example, Edward James Olmos is a Main Cast member for Battlestar Galactica. He is in the credits for every episode. Luciana Carro is a recurring cast member. She appeared in 18 episodes. She does not appear in the credits for every episode, only the ones she was actually in. She, and actors like her, don't belong in the Main Cast section of the credits. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
