Watchlist for shows in the same universe

Hanii wrote 8 years ago: 1

I would really like to see a feature that would allow watchlists to be created for multiple shows that share a same universe.

For example Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow etc...

Currently I am following this list on IMDB but it would be amazing if it was an ordered multi-show watchlist on here.

Ideally these lists would be maintained (ordered) by trusted users and regular users would be able to follow them and they would show up in their personal watchlists like other shows.

This could also be a useful feature for multiple factual shows which follow each other etc, or other sibling or sinoff shows.

You can already do this by using tags https://www.tvmaze.com/dashboard/tags

Just create a tag and add which shows you want in it :)

They are still listed as separate shows on the watchlist page, I am suggesting a single list with all shows combined, but the episodes in a specific watch order.

Sounds like you're talking about linking up various shows, sort of?

Follow this thread to show interest in "Relationships between shows" The more followers pending features have, the higher it goes on priority., http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/136/relations-between-shows

I've already voted for that feature but what I am suggesting is completely different, I'm talking about a single list of episodes from multiple shows combined in a specific order.

I'm not sure how else I can further explain this very simple concept :(

By specific order, do you mean one that everybody can edit?

If so, then I'd consider it to be an extension of related shows as there would need to be a way of getting all in the same universe so you can change the ordering.

Unless only TC/higher could select which shows to combine order.

If not then would it be more like taking a snapshot of your watch list and allowing it to re-order episodes?

I think only trusted contributors and higher should be able to maintain these lists.

No he's talking about a list where you have multiple shows with their episodes listed in the correct order to follow the overlapping story lines. Think of Buffy and Angel or Hercules and Xena and the multiple characters/plot points that overlapped in those shows. The CW seems determined to link every show on their network to the same universe! LOL.

At the very least, being able to combine multiple shows together on the user-side and be able to see episodes from those multiple shows listed in air order.

However, air order is not always the order in which a story line should be followed, in the case of Supergirl an episode was held back due to a real world event and the next episode was aired in its place, the skipped episode was then aired the following week.

Which is why it would be necessary to override the air order in favor of the intended watch order.

Hi Hanii,

At some point we might introduce lists as well (in some form). Several users from LocateTV have also requested for something like this.

cheers,
