[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1060221, member: 18896"] @[USER=120269]lisag[/USER] and @[USER=98267]doskabouter[/USER], [S]this is a known 'very desired' request, as you can see per: [/S][URL='http://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/issues/detail?id=229'][B][S]http://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/issues/detail?id=229[/S][/B][/URL] That is what I get for realizing I might have read orginal question wrong, after I realized I had helped you with IMDb+ already to sort out your movie series issue.
