23skidoo 18th Sep 2024		TV Dark Angel (2000 - 2002)	Apparently, James Cameron devised Dark Angel as something of a dry run for his later adaptation of Alita Battle Angel, though you'd be hard-pressed to find many similarities between the two IPs other than both focusing on women with superhuman abilities.
23skidoo 18th Jun 2024		TV Doctor Who (1963 - Now)	I might be poking a bear here, but officially Doctor Who started over with Season 1 beginning with the 2024 season. That's how it's promoted. For that reason, should a new entry be created? I know we group continuations together (the two X-Files together, for example). But of the current version of Who - despite having carryovers - is officially considered a different series from what came before, should it be treated as such here too? That said, we didn't split off the 2005 revival and it also started with Series 1, though the IMDb has different listings for 1963-89, 2005-22 and 2023-present, so this question also applies to the revival. It would help trim down the massive cast list, at least. Just a thought.
23skidoo 23rd May 2024		TV Loves Me, Loves Me Not (1977)	Typo in title. Correction requested.
23skidoo 14th Mar 2024		TV George Of The Jungle (1967)	This was one of those shows that never displayed the complete title at one point on screen, so I chose one of several occasions where "George" is displayed. Feel free to replace with a better title screen image (maybe the scrolling "George of the Jungle" can be edited into a landscape image?).
23skidoo 5th Feb 2024		TV Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1996 - 1997)	Revisiting my comment from 8 years ago (wow), it's interesting to note that a TV series actually based upon the Jolie-Pitt film is now under way (see its listing elsewhere). The Den of Geek website recently ran a story comparing the current series with the Bakula one and said the earlier series isn't connected to the film. Still, very similar.
23skidoo 29th Jan 2024		TV Lost In Space (1965 - 1968)	I'm going to ask the mods to delete that flood of episode guide information which has rendered the comments section useless. That's not what we're supposed to be doing here with these listings.
23skidoo 17th Dec 2023		TV Danger Man (1960 - 1968)	@mikewn - I disagree. Danger Man in all the reference books I have was a single series that first aired for one season, then resumed production in 1964 for 2 more full seasons and part of a third. Although the format changed, it is still the same series with the same production team. They are the same series titled Danger Man. IMDb has it wrong as evidenced by it listing the US title for the later seasons.
23skidoo 19th Oct 2023		TV Frasier (1993 - 2004)	How should we handle the 2023 revival? It's being promoted as a continuation of the original, so as we did with Doctor Who and X-Files, should the ending date be removed and roll both shows into this one?
23skidoo 10th Oct 2023		TV His Dark Materials (2019 - 2022)	Ran for 3 seasons, with each season adapting one of the books in the trilogy.
23skidoo 4th Jul 2023		TV Star Trek: Prodigy (2021 - Now)	Suggest leaving the end-date open on this for now because although Paramount+ has cancelled it (what happened to Nickelodeon?) a second season was completed and media reported efforts are underway to find a new home for it.
23skidoo 14th May 2023		TV Victoria (2016 - 2019)	A number of online sources have cited ITV as saying they have no plans for a fourth series of Victoria, so I've put an end date of 2019 to this. If a further season is eventually commissioned, this can be updated.
23skidoo 14th May 2023		TV The Morey Amsterdam Show (1948 - 1950)	This show had an impact on the later Tonight Show as, based on his work on this show, Amsterdam in 1950 began hosting a New York City show called Broadway Open House. He left after a year and BOH went on to become the direct antecedent of The Tonight Show.
23skidoo 13th Apr 2023		TV iCarly (2007 - Now)	The series has returned to TV (with its third season soon the air as I write this). As it's a continuation of the original series with most of the original cast involved, I'm going to ask the mods to remove the end date right now (similar to what was done with Law and Order after it resumed).
23skidoo 24th Mar 2023		TV Wednesday (2022 - Now)	Just noticed we have "Jenny" not Jenna Ortega in the credits. Correction submitted.
23skidoo 4th Jan 2023		TV Star Trek: Prodigy (2021 - Now)	Season 1 of this, which had 20 episodes, aired over the course of more than a year, beginning with a 5-episode arc in the fall of 2021, followed by a long hiatus before the first season resumed in the fall of 2022, concluding at the end of December.
23skidoo 4th Jan 2023		TV The Beatles: Get Back (2021)	No one replied to my request for a source and I've been unable to find any media reference to Get Back continuing beyond its one-off miniseries. Again, if Variety or some other source has reported that a second season is being made of this, please note it here and correct me. Otherwise, I put back 2021 as the end date for this.
23skidoo 10th Dec 2022		TV Petrocelli (1974 - 1976)	I was today years old when I learned that four years before this series began, Barry Newman played the same character in the big-screen (and somewhat obscure) feature film, The Lawyer.
23skidoo 22nd Nov 2022		TV The Beatles: Get Back (2021)	The end date I added has been removed. Is there actually going to be a second season of the documentary? If so, source?
23skidoo 4th Nov 2022		TV Power (2014 - Now)	I put an end date of 2020 on the run, as the Book II, Book III etc followups are considered separate series and not additional seasons of the original (indeed, all 3 were as of 2022 airing concurrently). They haven't been indexed yet but I'm sure they will be in due course.
23skidoo 4th Nov 2022		TV The Dick Emery Hour (1980)	Other than Emery, the others in the cast list appear to be guest stars rather than regulars. Or was this a one-off special?
23skidoo 3rd Nov 2022		TV The Beatles: Get Back (2021)	Added an end date as this was a standalone miniseries. If they do a follow-up (unlikely but you never know!) it'll be a different series most likely or the end-date can be removed here.
23skidoo 3rd Nov 2022		TV Quacks (2017 - Now)	According to google search this only ran for a single season. If it ran for more, please correct the change.
23skidoo 30th Oct 2022		TV The Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club (1974 - 1977)	Aside from a DVD release some full episodes have also turned up on Youtube. Where else could you see Bill Haley and His Comets following a (surprisingly risque for 1974 British TV) striptease act?
23skidoo 16th Sep 2022		TV She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (2022)	@RadoxTheGreen This is definitely one of those weird things. Going by the rule of "what's on the screen" then She Hulk is correct (and the colon probably shouldn't be there too). But it's listed everywhere with the hyphen and colon, making this a style choice for the show. Certainly a case can be made for either, though Tatiana is credited with the hyphen in the character name.
23skidoo 26th Aug 2022		TV She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (2022)	Title screen added. Right now there are 2 entries for this show because when I did a search it didn't show up for some reason. I've asked the mods to delete my duplicate.
23skidoo 24th Aug 2022		TV The Avengers (1961 - 1969)	To update the Notes on this: as of summer 2022, the number of known surviving Series 1 episodes is 3 (one of which doesn't even feature Patrick Macnee!), plus the first 15 minutes or so of the very first episode. There's still hope more may emerge over time.
23skidoo 16th Aug 2022		TV Electric Circus (1988 - 2003)	The show had too many regular dancers to list, but according to her Wikipedia biography, actress Katherine Ryan was one so I included her.
23skidoo 14th Aug 2022		TV American Playhouse (1980 - 1994)	This listing is demonstrating a clear misunderstanding of the "selected cast" concept. We're not supposed to list everyone listed in the IMDb for a show, especially when it's an anthology with no continuing performers save the host. I've asked the mods to take down all the names except for Richard Kiley who is credited as the show's announcer. I did a similar correction a few weeks ago (I think for the 1990s version of The Outer Limits).
23skidoo 13th Aug 2022		TV Take 30 (1962 - 1984)	According to a 1965 Canadian TV Guide I have, the title is a bit misleading as the show at that time actually ran in a 35-minute timeslot. Presumably "Take 35" didn't sound as catchy for a title.
23skidoo 1st Aug 2022		TV The Outer Limits [1995] (1995 - 2002)	The cast list on this is waaaay too long. This is an anthology series and we're only supposed to list regular or recurring cast members. Some shows can be a long list, especially soaps and long-runners or things like Game of Thrones, but this looks like the complete guest star cast list was copied from IMDb. Kevin Conway is the only credit that should be here. It's up to the admins but I'm going to suggest in a correction that the rest of the credits be removed.
