Please delete Episodes 1-30 Die Schwadron up to 1-44 Schicht im Schacht, since those Episodes hardly qualify as Tatort episodes. Schimanski is a Tatort spinoff which has its own Database entry allready and you wouldn`t add Private Practice episodes to Grays Anatomie either, would you?
Personally I even would delete the whole Tatort Schimanski entry as well as those other Tatort entries like Ballauf&Schenk, Ehrlicher&Kein and so on, since they are all also duplicates from "Tatort", however as there are allready over 700 episodes I understand the need of seperate entries for at least the most famous Tatort Teams.

Full ack, the spinoff 'Schimanski' is a show of it's own and shouldn't be listed under the 'Tatort' entry.

Indeed, it's a bit complicated with 'Tatort'. Basicly it a bunch of independant shows under a common label, just like CSI:XYZ. Technically there are no real seasons, so moving all 'Tatort' related stuff (excluding the 'Schimanski'-spinoff) to an single entry with only one season (700+ epdisodes) just sounds wrong. Maybe we could use (artifical) seasons to seperate the various teams.

Okay, as it sits right now, when I pull "Tatort" I come up with 9 different entries. I don't speak German, so I have no idea what any of the shows say.

It looks like this has already been "done" with multiple show entries, but as I said, I don't speak German. I'm relying on you guys to let me know EXACTLY what needs to be done. So, if you speak German and know the show please post in here what needs to be done with the multiple entries.

To have a consistent naming scheme for the german crime show "Tatort" the following two shows should be renamed:

"Tatort – Steier & Mey" should become "Tatort Steier & Mey"
"Tatort: Palu" should become "Tatort Palu"

Just search for "Tatort", and it should be obvious.

The show "Tatort - Sommer" ist completly mislabled and should become "Die Kommissarin".

Can you please post links to suitable sources (see red box above).

Since it's a German TV show almost all sources are in German. If you know German look here:
http://www.fernsehserien.de/tatort/episodenguide

I know that Wikipedia is not a reliable source, but there you'll find a short overview in English:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatort

And I have to correct myself: "Tatort - Sommer" IS part of the show, but it also should be named
"Tatort Sommer" to make it consistent to the other shows.

Fixed them. http://thetvdb.com/index.php?string=tat ... &alllang=1

That link you gave gives the impression it's one show, but I suppose you could say they are spin offs and more importantly I'm really not up for merging 850 episodes :P

Hi,

some added a season "2012" to the series Tatort (http://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=series&id=83214) which is quite inconsistent as this is no real season and all other hundreds of episodes were in "season 1". Also the naming is not consistent with all the other episodes. As they are additionally duplicates to the episodes in "season 1" I would propose to delete the complete "season 2012".
