And THAT poll is NOT a Rule, James. Neither is ANY such poll. To exclude for example Gene Roddenberry (Created by) from Star Trek is both inconsistent and bizarre.

There are NUMEREOUS TV Profiles which utilize OMB for Created by, Developed by would be a totaloly different story, as that usually indicates a TV Series developed from another source...such as The Odd Couple.

IMO, since "Created By," is not listed in the rules, it shouldn't be submitted at this time under any other credit, since that would be misinformation.

That is the way I feel too... my first choice is not to include it at all till we get "created by" in the program.

I'm not saying the poll is a rule. Quite the contrary, since I believe that poll is flawed. Regardless, I'm just expressing my opinions on the matter.

LOL, I would hope you know that it will take more than that for me to throw a negative vote at you.

I'm inclined to leave "created by" out of TV credits myself, unless there's a preexisting outside source (e.g., for M*A*S*H) that fits clearly within the rules.

Ran across this one in old episodes of Dark Shadows: "Story Created and Written by Art Wallace"  Original Material + Screenplay?  Or just Writer? Or some other combination?

If its a story written for the show or adapted for the show it would be credited as "Original Material By" and I would also use the "Screenplay By" if the person is mentioned again in the credits as "Teleplay By."  "Written By" should be used only if the above is not mentioned.

I also do not credit this at the present time.

I think until we get the 'Created by' credit in Profiler it's just another topic that will cause endless discussion with no real outcome.

Also, please remember that not all users come into this forum and having a 'forum consensus' can totally confuse the casual user.

Let's just wait for the rules to be updated. It's easier.

Just my opinion, or course.

An opinion that I personally agree with. Ideally we will see "Created By" added to the program before too long... because it is a credit I think is important to TV Series.

I personally would prefer to wait for the correct credit in profiler... but if it must be forced in somehow I would  go with OMB as.. like James said.. the creator of the show created much more then the characters... they created the whole idea of the show and everything about it.


I'm with Pete in that I do not enter these credits (Created By) in DVDP at all since they are not listed anywhere in the credits table.

While I agree, Pete, the same could be said of other jobs. It is a reasonable, interim answer if and until Ken provides us with whatever else he is going to apply, which might be tomorrow and might not be for quite some time as well.

I add my agreement that we should wait for the proper credit in DVD Profiler; and apparently most previous discussions came to the same result.
