Can it be changed so genres can be added to individual episodes of TV shows?
There's a problem with IMDb posting inappropriate updates of genres to TV shows where some episodes might individually be described as being one genre that the series as a whole isn't, but IMDb lists it as this genre anyway.
For example, "Tales from the Crypt" is predominately a horror series, but has comedy episodes. Yet, "comedy" is listed as a series genre. I've deleted it repeatedly but it keeps getting re-added. If genres could be added to individual episodes, it might solve this problem.

Few number of actions related to the development of personal relationships for trill characters may be needed to experience in simple things, for next scene .:
Next scene could be comedian if not vanish scene between, and if it uses after the previous one, then it could be success for another epizod.

I think that the vast majority of episodes would not need any genre added, as the Series genres should suffice, but there are some exceptions.
As an example, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003) has Action | Drama | Fantasy as genres which covers almost all the episodes, but in Episode 6.7 Once More, with Feeling (2001) :
so this episode (and only this episode) should have the genre Musical.

With the Buffy the Vampire Slayer example above, the correct answer would appear to be "inherit." But that's because this is a series about recurring characters and their evolving stories.
For an anthology series, like
Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (1954–1991), 729 episodes,
most episodes were independent, some had characters that spanned multiple episodes.
Do we also need a Genre "Anthology" to flag the difference?
See more at this thread.
Phil Boroff suggests keywords to sort this out instead. My problem with keywords: too much variety. With Genres, you get a fixed few choices, so titles will cluster together. If someone submits keyword "music-episode" for one title and someone else "episode-music" for another, they are different, and the episodes won't cluster together. And, so far as I know, we have no "OR" functionality to create a search for either.
