Call Television whatever you want, IN Profiler it IS a Genre. It is a stupid discussion becsuse it like other issues comes up several times every year when some user or another wants to carp about it, instead o0f understanding and accepting the very obvuious answer. It make s no difference what you think i  hink or anyone else, and you have no idea what my position miight be it is has no relevance, the FACT is that in Profiler it IS a Genre and I accept that. The program is what it is and changes will NOT happen until the next version is released.

I'm not sure why you get so hot under the collar about this.  If you find the discussion worthless you don't have to participate.  And anyway, my original point was not that Television should be removed as a genre (although I personally agree with others who think it is not on the same level as Western or War) but that we, as the user community who contribute the profiles, could avoid putting Television first because it makes a nonsense of sort-by-genre and some of the graphs/statistics.  Even worse, on many TV series the ordering is erratic so a sort-by-genre actually spits the series across several categories.

Discussions like this may repeat - mainly because new customers trip over the issue after the older discussion has fallen below the horizon (and the search facilities on these boards don't seem to work too well, at least for me).  It is valuable to see what more experienced users think - there might be reasons that things are done in specific ways that have not occurred to a new user.  And although it is Ken's final decision as to what is done where and when I'm sure he is interested in what his customers think and how they use the product.  If he isn't then it is his perogative to say "shut up and put up", not anybody elses.[/blockquote]
Then I wiould suggest learning how to don a google search of the website to find the below the horizon entries of which there are many. Note that I said Google Search
