| | Posted: | | | | I am trying to find the common name for John (M.) Watson Sr. The CLT counts are inconclusive with him being credited for the same films under multiple names possibly due to profiles being copied from IMDB. John M.

Watson, Sr. is credited in the following 8 titles (58 profiles): John Watson Sr. is credited in the following 4 titles (34 profiles): John Watson, Sr. is credited in the following 9 titles (36 profiles): Using CLT, variants of his name seems to be for variants of the following movies/ TV shows . If anybody has any of the following titles could you please let me know what he is credited as. John M. Watson Sr (3 confirmed)Gladiator (1992) (confirmed) Hero (1992) (confirmed by T!M) Love Jones Soul Food (confirmed by Runmovies) John M. Watson, Sr (4 confirmed)The Fugitive (confirmed) Natural Born Killers (confirmed) Only the Lonely (confirmed by T!M) Opportunity Knocks (confirmed by stevegblair) John Watson Sr. (1 confirmed)Groundhog Day (confirmed) John Watson, Sr. (6 confirmed)Early Edition: Season 1 (confirmed) Hoodlum (confirmed) I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (confirmed) Madison (confirmed by Runmovies) Stranger than Fiction (confirmed by T!M) To Sir, with Love II (confirmed) | | | | Last edited: by Rogue.9 |

| | Posted: | | | | bump,
so what is the common name?
I believed I read somewhere the sr and ,sr should be joined because of the autofilter.. but I am not sure. |

Yes, an automated Invelos contribution filter ensures that both "Sr." and ", Sr." are listed in the database as ", Sr." (while retaining the actual on-screen version in the "credited as" field), so the titles for such name variants should indeed be counted together. That would make it look like a tie, until someone manages to confirm 'Love Jones'... |

| | Posted: | | | | So,
for settling on a common name, we should look at it like this, right?
John M. Watson Sr and John M. Watson, Sr ( 7 confirmed)
John Watson Sr. and John Watson, Sr. (7 confirmed)
Love Jones (unconfirmed)
right now it is a tie with more profiles to John M. Watson |

| | Posted: | | | | Love Jones: John M. Watson, Sr. as Tiki Room Bartender | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |
