Why am I not known for my work on "Murdoch Mysteries", which I have worked on for the last seven years, which also happens to be one of Canada's most popular shows for 13 seasons running?

In order to change your known fors, you have to be an IMDb Pro member. Otherwise IMDb just sticks in whatever they like. Not an ideal situation. But they want you to purchase Pro.
If by chance you have it please read this.....

I'm sorry, but there is no way a low profile project I worked on 15 years ago for only 1 season, is logically "weighting" the relative popularity of a show I have been working on for the past 7 seasons... 
"The top four titles with the highest score are listed in the 'Known For' category."
I call bull s hit.
This is a business model that is unfair to the people, such as myself, who work decades to establish their reputation and credibility in the film industry, to be displayed to the world with a "whatever they like" disclaimer, in order to demand payment from us.

Join the crowd. We all know this. IMDb wants you to purchase Pro. Sad but true. They make the virus, you purchase the virus protection.
I'm a Pro member just so I can control my page!
Do not like it. But it is a necessity.
Sorry. I know that's not what you wanna hear, but it's the truth.
:):)
By the way, I watch M.M. Great work!

Hi Michelle,
Thank you... appreciate it so much!
Over the years, I have tried on a few occasions to get the Death Junction credit removed as well.  I had so little to do with that project that I don't even understand why my name is associated with it.  Oh well, at least Murdoch is now correctly front and center.
Again, many thanks.
Yuri
