I would not credit her in the episodes where she has a "Senior Producer" credit. TV series have a lot of weird production credits, like Supervising Producer and Consulting Producer, and none of these should be credited in Profiler either.

I would credit her as 'producer' for all 22 episodes of the season, because it indeed seems like some kind of "promotion". I for one would find it it strange that such a promotion (i.e. getting a "heavier" role in the process) would lead to her losing her credit in DVD Profiler. But I'll happily admit that I tend to list supervising producers as well, so maybe it's just me. I do that because I feel it's pretty much the same as what we do with the art department: when there are credits for "art directors" and a "supervising art director", we enter them both. Why wouldn't this translate to producers? But again: that's just my personal preference, and I'll keep it local if I have to. I'd never enter a consulting producer, though...

If it is not in our list, Tim, it is NOT for you to decide that it should be entered. You can request that Ken make the added change od some other modification to the Rules. But if you want to list it, then KEEP IT LOCALLY.

T!M, as much as I respect you as a fellow contributor of TV series cast&crew data (there are not too many of us), I would kindly ask you to stick to the rules when it comes to the production credits.

Skip is right with this, it is not only a rule but also forum consensus to not list "Supervising Producers" or "Senior Producers" in the profiles. If is not uncommon that someone is credited as "Producer" for the first half of the season and "Supervising Producer" for the second. I have absolutely no problem to list him for only half the episodes in this case (happened just yesterday when I uploaded the credits for "Friday Night Lights - Season 1"). And why should I ? In most cases, the list of production credits for TV series is long enough anyway.

I already answered this in my first post in this thread: that I'm perfectly willing to keep my preference local if I have to. As for the rest:

- I don't believe this is covered by the rules. Again, I feel that by not listing any kind of these credits in the "incorrect" column of the credits table, Ken gave us some leeway to deal with the different terminology used in TV shows. Also, this isn't any different from how we treat the art director credits - despite what's in the rules!

- I also don't believe there is a forum consensus on this. Sure, a few users may have declared this as "the truth" so often (and so loud) that some people are starting to believe it, but as far as I remember there certainly isn't a consensus. In fact: in my experience throughout the various regions and localities, I daresay that a vast majority of the users DOES enter these credits. I'd guess this is mostly a result from how we deal with (supervising) art directors - most users (and we're not talking about thirty forum regulars here) seem to expand that line of reasoning to producers - and rightly so, IMHO.

- Depending on the type of show and the locality of the profile, I may or may not submit these. If I don't, we don't have a problem. If I do, and someone manages to remove them, I won't try to add them back in (and have never done so). I'm absolutely sure that I have even voted 'yes' to certain contributions made by yourself that, among other things, removed such credits, so I don't think we have a problem at all.

All in all I'm not so impressed by the arguments against this: I feel the rules gives us more than enough leeway to deal with these, and I also don't see a consensus among the users. Although I obviously agree with the fact that the list of credits is usually long enough, I don't think that's a really sound argument. Again, if someone is "promoted" halfway through a season from a "producer" to a "senior producer", why should that mean that he/she should lose his/her credit in DVD Profiler? I really don't see the logic in that... "Because the credits lists are long enough already" doesn't really cut it for me.

Just for argument's sake, I could say the same to you about entering "art director" credits. Can't you see that?

But "Art Director" is a Crew Role name itself, so it would seem to me pretty nitpickish to quibble about it just because it's not listed in the Credited As column. 
For clarity sake we could ask Ken to list "Art Director" there too, but I think it's plain obvious that it can contributed.

I agree, of course. Hence the "Just for argument's sake"...

Thanks, all.  You confirmed what I thought I should do, namely not credit her where she's shown as "Senior Producer."

Without personal knowledge of David Kelley's production company, it's impossible to say whether her elevation to "Senior" producer makes her the boss of the other two producers, or whether she may have stopped contributing all together the elevated title as an "honorary" one.
