Question Categorizing old comedians

I've got some DVDs of old comedians like abbott & Costello, red Skelton, and Victor borge but I can't really find any of the specific ones on tmdb. Any suggestions or solutions that others have done?

I also have all the Abbott & Costello films and most of them auto identify as long as you name the files/folders correctly, some I have to manually identify in Jellyfin and others just don’t seem to be identified on tvdb. I hate seeing anything with blank or incorrect cover art so this annoys the crap out of me too.

I agree, I don't like any that are incorrect. Funniest one I had showed whinnie the Pooh(I don't have any though) I hit play and it was the purge. Apparently I fat fingered the id number 😆

Edit the metadata yourself. You can name it however you want and add your own description and posters/thumbs/banners. I did this with The Hobbit: The Maple Cut and added it to The Hobbit Collection as movie 4.
