Columbo, Seasons 8, 9 and 10

Wasn't it determined that every episode of "Columbo" from seasons 8, 9 an 10 is to be treated like an individual TV movie, and not an episode of the series? It seems that they are all listed as TV movies on IMDb, but the page for the "Columbo" series duplicates each one as an episode. They seem to have been added recently. Each one has a title, plot description and credit for Peter Falk—but that's about it. | https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1466074/episodes/?year=Unknown

Hi jay_spirit- Thank you for the information! Yes, every episode was turned into a standalone, however, as it was mentioned on the decision of this previous post: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/what-happened-to-the-info-on-season-8-9-of-columbo/65adb74fb2f5be641b4c9b62, 24 shell episodes were also added (one for each TV movie) under the appropriate season which will also remain as how they were once live on the site. --- Cheers!

But a shell episode is not supposed to list any cast/crew, since that inflates their resume/IMDb listing.

@maya Thank you. I hope IMDb will consider taking action on my suggestion regarding shell episodes. (I just reread it, and it seems I already knew "Columbo" had shells. I forgot.) | https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/label-shell-episodes-and-prevent-new-information-from-appearing-on-them/65b1afa4b2f5be641b4d2bba
