* A category or tag (genre, topic, relationship (friend, family))

The fileformat on disk should be human readable, but it need not be standardized. A natively available format that doesn't need an external library is preferred. Avoid developing your own format however if you can use an already existing one. If there is no existing format available pick one of: [[JSON]], [[S-Expressions]], [[YAML]], or [[wp:Comparison_of_data_serialization_formats|others]].

with the argument <code>add</code> the function <code>(watch-add)</code> will allow you to add a new episode with series name, episode title, episode number and date watched. if the series does not yet exist you will be asked if you want to create it.

this code is also available under the GNU GPLv3.
