What happened to the info on Season 8 & 9 of Columbo
What happened to the info on Season 8 & 9 of Columbo
Everything seems to have been . . . deleted for all information on seasons 8 & 9 of Columbo.
You can see the first 7 seasons have full information on every episode. This used to be the case for seasons 8 & 9 as well but now it's all . . . gone. Every episode; actors, synopsis, everything. Other TV&Movie review sites have the full episode descriptions, actors, information, but not IMDB . How and why did it all get deleted? Legal reasons?

Has there been any discussion about IMDb labeling shell episodes as such and preventing new information from appearing on them?
I'd like to see the staff disable editing capability (except for title and date) on shell episodes and clearly label them as shells.
All the shells are doing now is confuse users and, worse, invite contributors to add missing information.

Hi @bderoes & @jay_spirit -
Adding 'Shell episode' to the plot or to a more visible way sounds like a great idea, please post this on the 'Ideas' section so users can vote and we can escalate to the appropriate teams.
Cheers!

Recently, the dating for Columbo was extended to included an end-date to the series in 2003, the date of the last television movie. I see from other threads that it has been a matter of debate where the series should officially end, but I want to register my complaint that I believe it to have been concluded on the wrong side. Although streaming platforms are retconning (if you will) the television movies that came out between 1989-2003 as eighth, ninth, and tenth seasons, of course, this was not how they were perceived when they were aired. They were television movies. I think that IMDb ought to be faithful to the generic intention of the creators at the time of release rather than to a new perception after the elapse of two decades. And thus the series should end in 1978.
(I added much of this post to an existing thread, but I decided to make my own post to see if it might get seen.)

Hi @awhatrick -
Ticket reference number V1275952551 was filed so the correct way to list these titles is decided.
Cheers!

Hello awhatrick,
Based on the data we have we have determined that the TV series will stay the way it is. Several users provided the link of Apple TV as reference for the series and the episodes order: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/columbo/umc.cmc.tlqu4d3qgskmhwd0qw5868tw.
There is no evidence that Season 8, 9 and 10 were standalone movie titles. If you can provide any valid evidence that proofs that those seasons/ episodes were movies, then we can make the correction but as of now it will show the 10 Seasons.
