I finally got my hands on a complete set of Captain Power episodes, and
been enjoying the first few episodes. One thing stuck me about the
credits though - you've always described your job on the show as "story
editor", but you're credited as "executive story consultant". Isn't that
an insufficient title given the work you did?

Because the series operated under Canadian content rules applicable at that
time, that was the only title that could be given to an American.
