What makes a good trade list? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Decided to do a little revamp of the list. I have hundreds of titles. I used to have detailed descriptions for each one but the list was around 90 pages. I did some shortening. It was still a good 30 pages.

I think now I'm just going to have a list of titles and as much of a description as I can get in Microsoft Word Times New Roman 11 point font on a single line. Even with that I'm still at 15 pages (so far).

I'm also thinking I'd like to eventually post this list to a blog.

Any tips on what makes things easy or what you like to see when checking out a list? Obviously, I have things sorted by genre and alphabetically.

I figure if people have specific questions (such as episode count, quality, source, etc) they can ask, as I have all of that information from previous iterations of the list.

recenr shows , or old hard to find shows,

then if they see something they are interested in they will ask questions about everything else
