Every acting credit on a TV episode is appearing as a "Self" credit
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Anyone know why every acting credit for the latest Family Guy episode are, for whatever reason, "self" credits?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33044453/
It's most obvious on the pages for Glen Powell and Derek Jacobi, given they have no other Family Guy credits.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001394/
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1412974/
I looked over the page and don't see any reason to think these should all be appearing under "Self".
I think maybe because it has the tag "TV special"? But obviously it's not that kind of documentary/special.

It appear to have been fixed credit wise, yet these Season 23 episodes are being listed as Season 22 which definitively ended back in April. https://www.fox.com/animation-domination/clips/family-guy-full-episodes/

Skylar: I have just submitted a deletion of the "tv-special" keyword. As you suggested, on IMDb, a "tv-special" is presumed to be nonfiction and all the cast members are assumed to be playing Self roles.
While networks and viewers may often consider a program which is fiction to be a TV special, IMDb treats "tv-special" as a specialized keyword, and that keyword should not be used for fictional content.
