Was the only reason those shows got on IMDB is because some of the people working on or for them are well known, and IMDB actually has a flexible policy of supporting those who they like or are well known when clear traditions are broken? I don't think Star Wreck even had known actors, and yet it's original distribution channel was, *gasp*, torrent. I know nothing about The Tunnel, but I think IMDB damn well should have a vetting process for things worth mentioning because they appear to already have one in spirit if not in their own law.Īnyway, these did not originate or target standard distribution channels, yet they got into the IMDB database.
Not unlike those other awesome shows which also avoided standard publishing paths. Awesome web based show that very easily deserves to be in IMDB, yet currently is not. So IMDB has a clear tradition and quite likely violated it for.įrankly, if any web series also deserves to violate this rule, it's Doraleous and Associates.
