Editorial Supervisor in LITB Credits - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I've noticed two titles in the credits:

1. Editorial Supervisor - I have no idea what this person does--I noticed in the credits today, this person had an A.C.E. title, as did the Film Editor. Does anyone know what an Editorial Supervisor would do? I googled it--no help there. I see this title in other Revue Studios shows, and sometimes I've seen Editorial Dept. Head.

2. Casting - in the credits of many shows, I see a Casting credit. I'd say this would be a critical person--every episode has different cast members (other than the regular cast), and someone has to audition and hire them. I don't see this title in the LITB credits, and I wonder what person did this job (of course, it could just be uncredited).

Finally, and I've mentioned this in other threads, many shows have a Script Continuity title. Although it's not guaranteed, I think a person with this title could have helped with the inconsistencies some of us picky people (aka I) have seen.

That's great. A script continuity title. They were needed but didn't seem to do a very good job. The biggest blunder is Gilbert's last name. I think Bates was better than Gates. Casting person did a good job choosing Barry Gordon as Chopper, Beverly Washburn as Jill and Carol Sayers as Marlene.
