The new Show custom post type (CPT) has been added to accommodate television series and other serialized visual works distinct from standalone films.

Structural role and integration

  • CPT Name: show (slug: /shows/)
  • Taxonomy & Display: Fully integrated into the site’s taxonomy and footnote system (shows_referenced).
  • Templates: Includes new content-show.php, show-nav.php, page-shows-referenced.php, and show-grid.php for consistent presentation.
  • Emoji Identifier: 📺 — representing both the legacy and persistence of the television form.
  • Archival Logic: Distinct from Movies, but parallel in layout and functionality. The structure allows for comparative media study — film vs. television, singular narrative vs. episodic myth.
