| | Posted: | | | | Just wondering how to enter the credits for a band that appears in an episode of F Troop.
I can't do screencaps, so I'll do my best to show how the credits looks.
From Season 2, episode #23 "That's Show Biz"
End Credits:
And
"The Factory"
Lowell T. George
Warren S. Klein
Richard T. Hayward
Martin F. Kibbee
as
"The Bedbugs"
Any ideas as to how to exactly credit the band and it's members?
Do I list all of them including the band as shown with the role of "The Bedbugs"?
or
List the band members with the band name in () with the riles of "The Bedbugs"?
For example:
"The Factory" as "The Bedbugs"
Lowell T. George as "The Bedbugs"
and so on.
or Lowell T. George ("The Factory") as "The Bedbugs"
Oh and do I include the quotes around the band names as shown in the credits or leave them out? |

| | Posted: | | | | I like this idea, Cubby.
Lowell T. George ("The Factory") as "The Bedbugs"
and yes the quotes are part of the credit.

| | Posted: | | | | This is just my personal opinion, but I would go with this: Quoting CubbyUps: Quote:
Lowell T. George ("The Factory") as "The Bedbugs" But maybe with one addition, namely using the 'credited as' feature, which could prove useful for future local linking should one or more band members get credited elsewhere. Thus: Lowell T. George ("The Factory") [Lowell T. George] as "The Bedbugs" It's just an idea, though ... I didn't find anything in the rules on this actually ... | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | What about using a divider:
Divider: "The Factory"
Lowell T. George as "The Bedbugs"
Warren S. Klein as "The Bedbugs"
Richard T. Hayward as "The Bedbugs"
Martin F. Kibbee as "The Bedbugs"

| | Posted: | | | | Good point, Cubby. Time for Ken to come up with those other colored dividers he mentioned.  Except then we have to decide what color means what.  Skip  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

How could you use a divider for a tv series with episode dividers? Quite easy, it just looks awful.  I would leave out "The Factory" in this case (TV-Show) though. For a movie I would do like Paul suggested. Probably time for proposing subdividers, eventually in a different colour than the parent divder. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | While i agree it now perfect i think using a divider is the most accurate way to represent the actual credit. Of course having 'sub'dividers as mentioned above would be ideal.
Take a look at Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 6 (883929-001361), episode 10, for the way i used a divider for a simialr situation.

Yes, but take a look at how that pans out when you're using the "credit lookup tool": - If you look up "Dale Stern", who appears in the same episode, the CLT will nicely tell you that he appears in the tenth episode, called 'The Bat Mitzvah'. That's helpful, and it's how it's supposed to work. - But if you look up one of these musicians you've put under a "sub-divider" which doesn't really exist (Brandon Coleman, for instance), the CLT suddenly loses the ability to tell us in which episode he appears. It does show the "Band Members Accompanying John Legend" header, but it loses the episode... Because it can't tell the difference, it regards this as a separate episode, not as a separate section within an episode cast list. Until we actually get some kind of "sub-divider", this really isn't a proper solution just yet, IMHO. |

Until we actually get some kind of "sub-divider", this really isn't a proper solution just yet, IMHO. I really don't see the problem. Do you really need to know in which episode he's credited. The CLT is only there to find the common name. Which episode seems irrelevant to me. If you have the show, you'll know the episodes, if you don't have the show i don't see how it could matter in finding the common name which episode has him credited. On top of that, finding the correct episode doesn't seem to be very problematic although it does require you to do some extra checking. Paul | | | | Last edited: by paulb_99 |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with paulb_99. How it 'looks' in the CLT should not dictate how it is entered in the profile. The CLT is a counting system. As long as the number isn't changed, which it won't be in this situation, it shouldn't matter how it is displayed. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
