Thank you SO much for the update. Yes, the recaps/weecaps/recaplets are the primary pages I might save, but having the title on the overview and recaps page is really helpful, too. Again, thank you.

At this time, the script is only supposed to change the title on actual content (recaplets/weecaps/recaps), not on any other page like overview pages or the homepage etc. Those were the pages were I found the generic titles annoying. I hadn't thought of the other pages; my only goal there was to have the script not do anything.

At a glance, the two types of overview pages seem to be easy to detect. I'm a bit pressed for time right this minute, but I'll look into it later today. I don't think I'll go for something that works on every page, but I see your point regarding the overview pages.

ETA: The homepage and each show's "Overview" and "Recaps" page get new titles now. Other pages should retain their original title.

Thanks for the quick response and update!

Just to check, though... are all full recap list pages such as (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/house/recaps.php) or the Smallville recaps list page I linked below really supposed to be entitled "TV Show Recaps & Reviews - TV Show Episode Recaps & Reviews | TWoP"?

Is there a way to get the title of the show on those pages as well, the way (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/house/) displays the specific show title?

Thanks again.

Thank you for your feedback, Chris3ne.

I just uploaded a new version of the script that should fix both issues.

Previously, the script looked at the content type specified on the site to decide whether to mess with the title. The title was changed if the content type contained the terms "Recap" or "Weecap". The type of recap overview page you linked to unfortunately has a content type of "Recaps", which is covered by that rule, but shouldn't be. The specific recap you linked to for some reason has no content type set at all (a mistake by TWoP, I think) and therefore wasn't covered, even though it should have been.

I now check if there is an "episode report card" on the page. I think that rule selects exactly the kind of page I want the script to work on; they are on recaplet, weecap and recap pages, but not anywhere else.

This seems to be broken in some parts of the site.

This show page (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/small...) shows up with "null"'s in the title and this sample recap (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/small...) has the generic page title.

The default title has been bugging me for a while now. THANK YOU for this!
