[SOLVED] Import from IMDB Not Working

Now the information in parentheses is gone completely. :'(
In edit mode, I see there's a now a space between the role and comma-separator, so it seems the parenthetical part has simply been omitted.

Do you really need it? Looks kind of ugly...

Perhaps, but the information is essential. It is, after all, a summary of episode data, and not all actors have been with the series for the same period. Attached is an illustration from my series record for NYPD Blue (1993-2005). The information is particularly useful when looking back at an older series.
The screen shot illustrates another use. The last two entries are there as a result of PVD's unfortunate behaviour of adding people to movie records when they are updated in People View, even if the people there are restricted to "main page only." Such entries appearing tell me it's time to update the record to fix that problem. I would prefer, of course, if that weren't necessary in the first place. People should not be added to movie credits when the "Show people added from movie credits" option has been selected.
I'd be happy if you abbreviated the information. For example...
Hugh Laurie ... Dr. Gregory House (135x|2004-) instead of
Hugh Laurie ... Dr. Gregory House (135 episodes - 2004-2010)
...but some might think that even uglier. :-\

OK, I'll add an option for this info.
