| | Posted: April 17, 2019 7:50 PM | | | | Talking about made for tv movies such as the Sharnado films, 3 Dirty Dozen made for tv movies and the like.
1. What rating system to use? Film or TV?
2. Should TV genre be used?
How exactly do we determine what films are made for tv and not? |

and for Genre it is subjective as there is no definition of particular genres some things listed as horror to me are comedy |

| | Posted: April 18, 2019 7:53 AM | | | | Rating system should be Television (If TV Rating or NR)
And TV Genre should be one of the spots. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: April 19, 2019 2:34 PM | | | | My personal opinions:
Genre:
A movie is a movie is a movie. Unless you check the credits, it's impossible to distinguish a TV movie from a similarly budgeted theatrical movie. TV genre should be used to signify a TV show or mini series, because those are very different from movies. If you want to use the genre classification for some other purpose, then you should keep it local.
Rating system:
For NR the rating system is meaningless. If it is not rated, then obviously no rating system has been used. Therefore just changing the rating system for a NR title just produces a meaningless update. Again, if you use it for something else than just indicating which rating system has been used, then you should keep it local.
To repeat, those are my personal opinions. The rules do not tell us one way or the other. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
