I have no idea what you are saying talking about genuflecting and TV roles ( )  so I'll just leave it at this:

Before the rules re-write I found this field challenging to say the least. After the discussions and the subsequent changes I now find it easier to figure out. What you see as complicating the field I see as making it easier. Obviously when you and I look at this field we see two completely different things.

Really? I see a lot of data there but i see no reference of ANY kind to CBSHE, I may be wrong and blind, but there is NOTHING there

I see a CBS DVD logo.  I know that CBS DVD is the label under which CBSHE distributes their DVDs.  If you can't see that, then there is little I can do to help.


I'm sorry, but do you really expect the average DVD Profiler to know that if they see CBS DVD on the cover they should convert that to CBS Home Entertainment?

Why would they even think that it should be something different?

Great now I don't even know who the Production Company is, but valid points raised.

The actual credits list "A Filmation Production" and a copyright for "Filmation Assoc" as well as "Paramount Television".

Not necessarily, but I don't think "CBS DVD" would strike the average DVDP user as a company name either, and thus it shouildn't occur to them to enter it as a Media Company.  If unsure, just leave it blank.

On the contrary, I think the average user would think that CBS DVD is exactly that...a media company.

The point is, why would they even contemplate that it should be entered as CBS Home Entertainment instead of CBS DVD?

Oh, I don't know.  Maybe when they put the disc in the player a clue might appear:



I'm sure this isn't what always shows up, but seeing it occasionally should cause one to contemplate...

Nope, I do not...and I don't believe I ever said so.  What I expect the average user to do, is what every average user does, copy what they see and let someone with more knowledge make the correction when they can.  That's what they do with audio, aspect ratio, cast and crew...meaning not everybody researches BYs and 'Credited As' data...so I expect that is what will happen here.

Only on some.  Some show "CBS DVD" and some show "CBS Home Entertainment".

That screenshot is from a Perry Mason DVD.

This definitely does NOT show up on the Star Trek Animated series!  CBS DVD does show up, however!

If it did, I would certainly enter it.  But I'd also enter CBS DVD if it appeared as well.

No, it doesn't.  I couldn't find "Paramount Home Entertainment" anywhere either, but it seems to have made it into the MC field somewhere along the line, with not even a hint of it on the packaging or disc.

So we have a mixmaster of data. Yikes. Yes, Martian you were and continue to be wrong about WDSHE, I therefore question you on this one. In fact, I believe CBSHE is something that has only recently actually reared its head, earlier THIS year or late last year. Snice STTAS is now FOUR years old, it's not even in the picture want to GUESS again. We also have no idea what CBSHE really is beyond perhaps one of the mythical media companies. Hmmm maybe Zeus could answer the question.

Then you need to submit a contribution removing it! 

If you submit CBSHE, however, I'll be forced to vote no.
