Movie Connections - TV anthology episodes
Is there any way to indicate that a TV episode from an anthology series was a pilot to what eventually became a TV series.

Add distributor type
In the update form for distributors, the Type field should have an option for 'internet' or 'web'. Web distributors are expressly allowed to be listed, but currently the best option is 'video', which is imprecise. There should possibly also be a separate option for VOD.

Quotes section for True Detective

English Titles for Forgeign TV Shows etc.
Hi everyone.Just a suggestion. I know others have asked before, but, if, or when, does IMDb think it might be able to allow us, as contributors, to add an alternate title? I am working on a foreign series now and every time I select a new episode, I think, why is the plot in English, but an alternat

Separate crew department categories please!
I love IMDB and use it a lot for research and as an easy verifiable way to show my own credits to perspective employers. Truly a great website for movie people that I use almost daily. I have one bone to pick and I am hoping someone from IMDB can help me to understand why this is and if perhaps ther

Character / Actor photos
Would it be possible to include character photos along with the actor photos when displaying the cast? Sometimes it is easier to recognise the character by sight rather than name.
