Hi. For some reason the hyperlinks for "Laverne and Shirley" and "Hill Street Blues" do not appear as they should. A is how the text should read and B is how it actually reads ::
A) Fluent in Italian, Penny Santon was often relied on to play traditional Italian-American wives and mothers in film and on television. She played Laverne DeFazio's grandmother on one episode of Laverne & Shirley (1976-1983) (in 1978) and Captain Frank Furillo's mother on Hill Street Blues (1981-1987) (two episodes; 1985-86). She appeared on Broadway in the original production of Tennessee Williams ' "The Rose Tattoo" in a similar role.
B): Fluent in Italian, Penny Santon was often relied on to play traditional Italian-American wives and mothers in film and on television. She played Laverne DeFazio's grandmother on one episode of Laverne & Shirley (1976) (in 1978) and Captain Frank Furillo's mother on Hill Street Blues (1981) (two episodes; 1985-86). She appeared on Broadway in the original production of Tennessee Williams' "The Rose Tattoo" in a similar role.
Actually, I have just noticed that the format for TV series appears to have undergone a wholesale change. It is not just one actress's IMDB page but throughout IMDB, removing the start and end years of the series and just keeping the start year, which is misleading and confusing. For example:
1) Hill Street Blues (1981–1987) -- Hill Street Blues (1981)
[link=tt0081873]
2) Laverne and Shirley (1976–1983) -- Laverne & Shirley (1976)
[link=tt0074016]
3) The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977) -- The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970)
[link=tt0065314]
4) Dynasty (1981–1989) -- Dynasty (1981)
[link=tt0081856]
5) Knots Landing (1979–1993) -- Knots Landing (1979)

Rob, the database only uses the beginning date of a TV series. It never uses the spanning dates of a series.

The top gives the link I referenced.
The Bottom method is how you get an extended link with extra info or anything you want it to say.
People who know how to use the bottom method are far and few between. So those will pop up every so often. So nothing is wrong.

OK.

Hi Rob,
If you need to link to specific titles and names within our submission interfaces, then the only way to do so is via the [link=tt0081873] format, see this guide for more details. The extended URL option that Ed advises above doesn't work for any data list.
Thanks,
Will
