Sitcom with no character credits?

Just adding information to an old 80s sitcom that I'd never heard of... in the end credits, there are no character names, just a list of the actors.

As they have character names on the IMDb, do I remove the character names to make it credit-accurate, or just leave them?

Leave them. IMDb DOES want to list the character names as they appear on screen. But if no character names appear on screen, they still want them listed.

Hi MovieCat -

In addition to the information jay_spirit provided above, we aim to list character names as they appear in on-screen credits, however, we make exceptions when character names are not listed on-screen.  In these cases we allow the listing of the name the character was referred to in the film/show, or if a name is unknown we allow a simple character description (ie. "postman", "crying child", "hotel clerk", etc.).

I hope this helps!

Great, thanks both. I've left them, just added the credit order.
