TV: Multiple air dates for first/final episodes???

2008-10-11T15:02:48.0017Z

So why is this the case? It's making life difficult when trying to sort search results for TV programs by air dates. Compare to Film, which has only one value for initial release date. Why is TV different?

Film: How about puppeteer?

Makes sense to me.

It's slowly being replaced by motion capture, but there are all the Jim Henson films (and tv shows), Yoda by Frank Oz in the original trilogy of Star Wars, etc.

You can create your own data types in a user domain, if you like. That might be the easiest way to get this up and running.

Film: Home video releases

Hey, I joined freebase not too long ago and have been using it to build an app that lets users mark which films they have watched or own on dvd or blu-ray. I've run into the issue of TV shows not being in the Film category, which leads to my question.

Is there a possibility of a data type that tracks home video releases? This would be a sub-type for both Film and TV shows. I realize that may be a lot of work, so it might be far down the road, but I thought I'd suggest it.

Overall freebase is a fantastic service. I really hope to see it take off in a big way.

Oops. Thanks for catching that -- I made it non-unique, now.

Why is instances a unique property?
