Years listed for revived shows is misleading
Usually, when a TV series is listed on IMDb the page includes, among other information, the years in which the series originally ran (for example, 1994-2004 for the show Friends). Unfortunately, this gets a little confusing for shows that have been revived for additional seasons years after their original run ended (shows such as The X-Files, Arrested Development, Futurama, etc). In this case the shows are listed with the year they originally premiered and the year the revival ended. Futurama’s IMDb page, for example, says that it ran from 1999-2013. While this may be somewhat true, it’s also not true at the same time. Futurama did not run for 14 years. It ran from 1999-2003, then from 2008-2013. So technically it ran for 9 years, not 14 as is stated on the IMDb. I know this is a minor issue, but it really annoys me. One example of a solution for fixing this could be by adding a semi colon between the years of a particular show’s various revivals. In Futurama’s case, it would look like this: Futurama (199-2003; 2008-2013).
