Hello @billspluginreviews ,
The issue you’re facing might be related to the use of short tags (<?) which are not recommended and can cause problems, especially in newer PHP versions.
So please try replacing the code section with full PHP tags,

<?php

?>
<br />
<strong>Year(s):</strong> <?php echo get_field('start_year'); ?>-<?php echo get_field('end_year'); ?><br />
<strong>Bill Fulton role:</strong> <?php echo get_field('bill_fulton_role'); ?><br />
<strong>Production:</strong> <?php echo get_field('production'); ?><br />
<strong>Episode:</strong> <?php echo get_field('episode'); ?><br />
<strong>Media Category:</strong> <?php echo get_field('category'); ?><br />
<strong>Production Co:</strong> <?php echo get_field('production_co'); ?><br />
<strong>Director/Producer:</strong> <?php echo get_field('dir-prod'); ?><br />

Make sure you are using this code within the context of WordPress loop or on a template that displays a single post or page where these fields are defined.

Also, ensure that you have the Advanced Custom Fields plugin installed and activated, and the field names are correct. If the issue persists, you might want to check for any PHP error messages or log entries that could provide more details about the problem.

Hope this helps.

Yes, enabling short tags in PHP 8.2 was the answer. Thanks!
