PROJECT: Episode Information Table

Post by Allard »

Something which I have been contemplating for some time now is making a comprehensive Avengers Episode Information Table, based on my personal episodes list where I (used to record which episodes I owned on home video) and when I watched them.


The idea is to create a crowd sourced (and checked) table among Avengers fans.
The main spreadsheet (pictured) would have transmission order, production order, director, writers.
The second spreadsheet is the episodes in alphabetical order (already finished)
The third would be a listing by episode of all home video releases.


Any thoughts on what is missing and whether you would like to help.

p.s. I am not going to include actors, too much date to show with any surveyability, too laborious and pointless to since there is IMBD, but if anyone would want to make this they are welcome.

At the start of this, I don't know where this is going, but I'd love to expand this into more documents that can be easily stored and spread. There is so much information online (this forum and websites) and data online has a tendency to get lost over time.

here is my alphabetical list, remove the top and right column to make it sortable.

This one is unchecked, any suggestions for improvements are welcome.

I have made a start of the home video release spreadsheet so that I can decide on a layout. Based on this example I'd welcome any hints or suggestions to improve this before doing the work of adding all the data.

I've forgotten which thread I originally posted my spreadsheet but here is just as good a location to announce that I've updated it with all the research I've been collating for the last 2 years...

It's a bit messy and the colour coding only means anything to me... if indeed it still does at all...

Please enjoy:

I'm a sucker for a colour-coded spreadsheet! Must be an occupational hazard. I have spreadsheets for chronology research for everything from The Avengers to Sherlock Holmes, Blakes 7 and Doctor Who. (Though I did the Prisoner and Robin of Sherwood on bits of paper and in Word!). Also one that converts star positions to galactic coordinates for a 3D star map I was drawing. Wonder why I'm an accountant!!!

It doesn't open in Excel for me, is it possible to put it on Google Drive?
