imdb Enters the World of TV Show Ratings. Many of you may have noticed, but just in case, imdb recently started tracking ratings for TV shows, so why not take a trip over and let your opinion be known.

They apparently figured out how to track the scores without them messing up the movie score tracking. You can even rate individual episodes. Everything gets a star rating ranging from 1 to 10, just like with the movies.

Currents ratings of interest: Roseanne = 7.4, Parenthood = 6.0, Buffy = 8.8, Firefly = 9.5, Angel = 8.6, Wonderfalls = 8.9, The Inside = 7.4

I'm not sure if this will stay up. I have noticed it and I think it may have already been posted before.

I know we had a post about IMDB doing episode guides but I don't think there was any mention of rating the shows (I think).

Here's the thread I was remembering.

Am I the only person who noticed as soon as she went on the Buffy page that they got the amount of episodes Xander was in wrong? Probably. Still, I'm completely outraged.

So, submit a correction!

About the number of episodes of Xander; It might just be a confusion about definitions. Nick Brendon is credited for all 144 regular episodes even though he does not appear in CWDP. And the 145th episode would be the unaired pilot. (At the episode level they explicitely state they mention "credited cast"). However, does Dawn appear in Restless, or is Michelle credited in any way for that episode? (Restless is her 67'th episode apparently). And did Giles appear in (s7) Help? These little examples just show again that IMDB's data is best not to be trusted completely, while it is still a great resource.

I couldn't agree more, Celebithil. Well said! :-)

There are a bunch of Joss appearances on there that I never knew about. (How could I have missed that Joss was on Sunday morning shoot-out last year? Was I asleep, or were my sources, aka Whedonesque, asleep? Hmmmm. ) If anyone knows where to find these things could they e-mail me? My e-mail is in my profile.
