Cast-Per-Episodes Guide Comments - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For those of you who have looked at my Casts-Per-Episodes Guides through out the years, I have a question for you.

Which is the easiest way to look at them. I want the info to be easy to read and understand. For example, when a credited cast member is absent from an episode is it best for me to not include their name at all or include their name but put next to it "Absent" or something indicating that they missed that particular episode.

Also, what all do you think should appear in these guides? Right now I have this in mind...

(from 'Wings')
1. Legacy
Written By: David Angell & Peter Casey & David Lee
Directed By: James Burrows
Cast:
Joe Hackett: Timothy Daly
Brian Hackett: Steven Weber
Helen Chappel: Crystal Bernard
Lowell Mather: Thomas Haden Church
Roy Biggins: David Schramm
Fay Evelyn Cochran: Rebecca Schull
**Torrey Hanson as The Passenger
**Brigitte Kempt as Woman

So that's the episode number and title. Below that, the writer for the episode. Below that, the director for the episode. Below that the cast members (in credited order from the show). Below that and this is the real question. Do you like it better with (for example) "Torrey Hanson as The Passenger." Or "The Passenger: Torrey Hanson"?

Any comments would be appreciated. There's a bunch of shows I haven't done (most shows I haven't done) and some shows I started but didn't finish and a few shows I finished but am now going to go back and fix them so that they all follow the same guidelines as above.

Ooh, I should also mention that I put the episodes in the order I feel they are best viewed in. This may bother some people but then again, you still get the same info just in a different order. I don't do this with all shows. If I feel their order is fine, I leave it alone but episodes being aired out of order is my biggest TV pet peeve.
