The Return of the Faux TOM AND JERRY TV series

Once again, IMDb lists a TOM AND JERRY series that pretends the theatrical cartoons from 1940 to 1967 are a TV series that lasted from 1940 to 1967.

At least this time the theatrical shorts themselves were not converted into TV episodes. Instead, we have TV episode duplicates of every theatrical short.

Tom and Jerry (TV series 1940-)

Here's what I'd like to see happen.

1. Make it possible to categorize a series as something other than a TV series. There should be MOVIE SERIES, INTERNET SERIES (for podcasts and other kind of series made for the internet) and CHANNEL SERIES (for standalone videos that all appear on a single YouTube (or other platform's) channel.


2. Make it possible to label an episode as a dummy, which would prevent anyone from voting for it or adding information to it. All the dummy would have is a link to the actual title.

Thus:

1. We could label TOM AND JERRY as a Movie Series.
2. We could list the theatrical shorts as episodes, but keep them as dummies that link to the real movies.

(Yes, TOM AND JERRY was also an actual TV series that began in the 1960s, and collected three theatrical shorts per episode. That's a different issue.)
