Kill Tony
@RoseRed Finally managed to get some form of communication with the editor over on TheTVDB regarding the dates (after I attempted correcting the dates to the airdates rather than the filmed dates)- their main responses were:
Been doing this for years, get lost
and
it airs for a live audience the date it is recorded. I've been the one for years. Get a life
So yeah, the user there uses the 'filmed on' dates rather than the airdates.
Only communication I was able to get with them was through changing the title of an episode on the show. I used to be a regular editor over on TheTVDB (I think I used to edit there and here concurrently IIRC), but ever since they removed the forums there, it's basically just become a free-for-all. Even worse, found a few threads on Reddit basically corroborating my issues with the site. (example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4)
TL;DR- yeah, dates used for Kill Tony over on TheTVDB are indeed the film dates rather than the dates they actually premiered. All the 2025 dates are correct and I think I'll just work on the cast members for 2025 episodes, maybe eventually get to the older years and fixing the dates for those as well.
News item removed
Hello Magitroopa,
I wanted to let you know I've removed the news item you posted for 25 Words or Less for two reasons. First, the news is exclusive to two markets. No one outside those markets will see the episodes. And two, the source is not vetted. If you have any questions, please let me know.
My apologies, and understood.
Jeopardy
Thanks for helping with Jeopardy, I've been down with covid bad since the beginning of the month and am just now getting around again.
SNL Cast
Hi Magitroopa
Hope you are well.
Why have the current stars of SNL been added as guest stars to the anniversary special?
Thanks
Tom
Hi-
1. This was also done that was for the 40th anniversary special 10 years ago
2. Note that this is a special episode, not a regular episode of the season. There is no particular 'main cast' for this special, just a combination of old cast members/current cast members/celebrity cameos.
3. Likewise, there was no opening intro credits like normal SNL episodes crediting the current cast members. The only opening credits for the 50th anniversary special noted musical performances coming up in the special.
I apologize if it's incorrect, but I hope that at least explains it better.
Thanksgiving Parade
Hey Magitroopa
How are you?
Please can you look at either fixing or removing all the mostly blurry images you added last year to the hosts of The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade guide. If we dont have a suitable image of the hosts from the 60s then just dont add one. Even the current host images have a degree of blurriness to them.
Thanks
Tom
@Magitroopa have you missed this message, ive noticed you active in the forums and editing since it was sent.
First of all, I do apologize for the bad images- I do mean all edits of mine with the best intentions. It's likely a whole bunch of them can't have anything new, as the best source for most of them are YouTube videos of the parade(s)- for example, the Betty White and Lorne Greene images came from this video.
Second, are all of the current hosts pictures bad, or are some of them usable? I'm sure better ones could be added in a little over two weeks from now (since this year's is almost here, lol)
Third/finally, I'm only a supporting contributor on here, so I can't remove/delete images (unless there's some way I can that I don't know of), so I don't think I can help with that part.
Apologies again.
Ive removed everything for you. If you wanna add images and ask me to cast an eye let me know. Thanks for your hard work :)
