Okay, I find it...ahmmm...interesting......but on the IMDb listing for Hardcastle & McCormik they have a listing of 67 episodes (Okay, check) but Brian is listed as being in only 23 episodes and Daniel is listed as being in only 3 episodes - and one of those (Rolling Thunder Part 1) he is supposedly uncredited. So, should we as a group, all write them to correct this? Or should just a couple of people?

That's pretty strange. First thought is one person (are you volunteering?) should contact them and then, if they don't respond, we can all jump on them at once. Sound like a plan?

Yeah, very strange. I've always wondered how they collect that data. The bios are submitted by dedicated volunteers, it would appear. Maybe they would take corrections from users, as well.
I'm, ashamed to say I've never joined IMDB, though I consult it regularly.

I'll have to find my list of passwords and such, but yeah I can try to set them straight on their list. I joined IMDb a long time ago, so I think the password and stuff is still good. If not, I'll just re-up. I've also noticed that Mary Jackson is listed for only 1 episode, and John Hanthingy and Joe Santos are listed for 'unknown numbers'
Looks like there are a lot of things to correct. I'll have to take a couple of days to get the correct number of eps for Mary, but does anyone know offhand how many John and Joe did?

Okay, I submitted corretions for BK and DHK, they have to be 'verified' by IMDb which (according to their automated system) could make the changes take 2-3 weeks to appear in the listings.
Will work on Mary's correction over the holiday weekend.

John "Hanthingy"? This censorship is getting to be a little too much, dontcha think?

It is interesting what gets cencored, isn't. I just checked the IMDb listing and Brian is now listed as appearing in every episode, but Danny is still listed for only three (one uncredited) Maybe it is taking longer to verify that. Or they didn't pay attention to my message. I'll give them a few more days adn then send them another correction.

It would be interesting to know how things work at those mega-huge sites. Both Imdb and Wikipedia are too big for anyone to every get a grip on what's going on. Even ffnet is huge. And Google, whew, google is amazing.
But congrats and good work so far.

Good news!! The listing now showsboth Brian and Danny as beingin all 67 episodes of the show. Still a few other details for other actors to fix but the two most glaring mistakes seem to be taken care of.

Thanks, Becky, for realizing there was a problem and then for fixing it. You're one of the good people!
