What if there is one episode without cast except for the main cast? Should we still add a divider for that episode?  I've tried both with and without a divider and I can't decide what I  like most. If we go with the divider, it lists an empty episode. If we leave it out, it looks like we forgot that episode

Nice job.  I like the way you set up the cast section.  Haven't had a chance to look at the cast section yet.

I keep answering the same questions.<hits self in head>

The Rules already cover this

"If a film does not have standard credits, use the following rules:

    * If a film has actors listed in the opening credits, which are not listed in the end credits, add these to the list in DVD Profiler before those taken from the end credits.
    * If a film has no end credits, but does have actors credited elsewhere, enter the actors from those credits.
    * If an actor is credited by name but does not have an associated role, you may use another source to identify the role. In each case, list Actor’s names and roles (when given) exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited."

For those proponents of episode level profiling (sometime in the future), I find it hard to believe that you would actually support option #1.

If we do Option #2 now, all you do is copy/paste into individual episodes later.

I won't even bother mentioning "as credited"....that's apparently dead for TV Sets!

As I have previously described, Option 1 is a bit more streamlined in appearance, Option #2 is best for accuracy. However even Option 1 is not an unthought out departure from As Credited. The Opening credits are defined as those credits that repeat in every episode.

For example the Opening Credits
for Leave it to Beaver Season 1 are the SAME before EVERY episode
Barbara Billingsley
Hugh Beaumont
Tony Dow
Jerry Mathers as The Beaver

All Option 1 says, in essence, above the divider, these people are credited in EVERY Episode of this Season or on this Disc, everyone else for the specific Episodes falls below the divider. It s a variation of As credited but not a departure oir destruction of it. Option 2 presents better accuracy, perfect to the show credits but not necessarily perfect. Ultimate accuracy would be to sit and watch each and every Episode to make note that in this Episode Barbara Billingsley though credited did not appear, she went to see Aunt May  (AKA had the week off) I doubt seriously that very many users would be intersted in going to that extreme, though perhaps some might. Speaking for myself the opening credits are close enough...for Government work.
