Whoa, the Internet Movie Database just changed big time:

All TV shows have season by season and episode by episode breakdowns. I’ve wondered for years why they didn’t do this.

Not only that, but they now list the episodes of shows people guest in right in their credits, with a clickable link for the episode.

It’s kind of weird.

Check it out.

Good. Maybe this will be the death knell for TV.com (which absorbed TVTome).

TV.com really blows.

I noticed this earlier today. Maybe this explains why the boatload of goofs I entered for a show recently haven’t appeared? As goofs for episodic TV now have as part of the submission process a request for the specific episode. I hope that, if that’s the case, the master list of goofs will still be accessible via a single click (and in order by episode would be nice).

This is a huge improvement. Glad smeone took the time. They need a litle style and formatting help, some real inconsistancies there, but the concept was way past due.

I second that opinion.

…thirded, fourthed and fifthed. From a nice, clean, easy to navigate site that was regularly updated and I could find out what happened in the last five minutes of my favourite obscure programme that I missed because I had to go to the toilet, to a horribly bloated website with not enough updates… I miss TVTome… :frowning:

Very nice update, indeed!

It seems they also threw in more advertising, of the “Click here if you want to proceed”-type. I could do without that.

Did you genuinely “wonder” why they didn’t provide this labor-intensive convenience for free, or were you just hoping they would?

Wait.

You’re talking about TVtome, right?

Because, if so, I clearly managed to tap into the Universe 717 version of the site, because, the one I always got was a piece of crap that loaded slowly enough that I could go cook a meal while I waited for it to come up, and half the time thought it didn’t actually have the show I was searching for. It usually DID if I went to it through a Google search, but searching via TVtome itself almost invariably came up with crap.

Given that the entire service is provided for free as a means of generating traffic and creating revenue through sales of advertising, it’s a reasonable question. Making the information easier to use results in more users, which increases revenue.

The only thing that seems to be missing is a synopsis, even just a brief one. Or am I just missing it somewhere?

No, you aren’t missing it. Maybe they’ll add it later. I checked a few shows and not all of the eps are listed yet.

I guess it’s fairly new.

Wow. I may need to dust off the IMDB login and start submitting info for all that TV I have on DVD…
