She has a new show scheduled to start in the fall, called Rebel.  It's listed as a TV movie instead of a TV show.   I can't find what section it's in to edit it.   Could someone help me out please?

Hi Robin -

If you are certain that this title being released as a TV Series, you will need to update the Title Type by submitting a title correction.  You can see the details concerning how to format the title correction on the following Help guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/title-formatting/G56U5ERK7YY47CQB?ref_=helpsrall#

Ideally, if the title is a TV Series, you would submit a Title correction with the following format:

"Title" (year) i.e. "Rebel" (????)

Let us know if you encounter any problems!

I am "certain" because I read it on TVLine., a reliable website for everything TV. They wouldn't post it if it wasn't true.

I went into the Title section and tried to change it.  I kept on getting rejected.   I don't understand what it is I am supposed to do.   Can you do it?

It is not a TV Series..........YET! Read the underlined passage.
From the first paragraph of the article you reference above......

Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) has been cast as the lead in Rebel, a potential ABC drama series inspired by the life of Brockovich, as reported by our sister site, Deadline.

Pilots are not a TV series. Pilots are for all intents and purposes a TV movie. If and when this is picked up as a TV series, a page will be created. This pilot if retained as the official first episode, then it could then be merged into the corresponding episode number. Or Not.

But for now it is correct as it stands.
Thanks.

Hi Robin -

I have now submitted the Title Correction on your behalf (to correct the title type) and it will be reviewed by our title editors shortly.  In the meantime, you can see the existing submission in your Contribution History (look for Contribution #200504-203834-838000). 

Cheers!

It's supposed to be a series.   Whether the pilot is filmed and the show lands on TV is the beside the point.


It should be listed at a TV series, not a TV movie.

According to the founder of IMDb Col Needham.
Yes the BOSS.
No it is not.
It is a sold pilot.
Not a sold TV Series.
Read the above reply.
Col knows what he's talking about.
He founded the database.
This will be reversed if approved.

I don't know what the "BOSS" is or what it stands for.  Instead why not delete it?  Again it's *NOT* a movie.     

Who is Col?

The Owner (originally) of IMDb knows better. He MADE the rules.
They are cited above.
It is a TV Movie until it is picked up as a series.
I'm not here to debate you.
I'm here to make the database accurate.
This was a mistake and needs correcting.
This is not an interpretation.
Is is repeating what is fact, according to the original owner of this database.
He is still the COO of the database too.
Please allow this to be corrected back.
Please don't argue with Mr Needham's rules.
I'm just pointing out fact.
I will not debate you on this.
I just want you to KNOW the rules so you do not make this mistake again.
Thanks.
