M&Ms commercials are listed as a TV series

M&Ms (1954-)

Does IMDb really want TV commercials to be listed this way?

The annoying thing about this particular page is that a number of actors are listed at series level, which makes it falsely appear that they did work in 1954. (See Danny DeVito's credits below.)

Hi jay_spirit -

Thanks for your report. This is an invalid series title page listing and it has now been removed. The listed episodes have now been converted into the correct format, Video standalone title pages on the site.

Thanks again!

@Michelle Thank you, that was quick.

Is it possible to do the same to this fake Betty Boop series? All the "episodes" should be restored to being film shorts.

betty boop "tv series"
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6280424/episodes

The first problem is the series years: (1930–1939)
