Are we to use the Film or Television rating for made for TV Movies or TV Specials/ Documentaries?

For example: The Dirty Dozen: The Deadly Mission has War and Television genres, but the Rating System is Film.

I've seen both Film or Television rating used.

Perhaps I didn't make it clear.

Not the Rating itself, but do we pick "Rating System Film or Television" for made for TV Movies or TV Specials/ Documentaries?

Yeah, that's one I used as an example.

Basically if a Made for TV Movie is NR we use the Television system. Otherwise, it's film.

What about TV Specials or documentaries?

No matter what it is... if it originally aired on TV (and don't have an MPAA rating) we use the Television system along with NR.

A few more examples.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys: And the Amazon Women and The Lost Kingdom uses the Film Rating System.
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys: The Xena Trilogy uses the Film Rating System.
After Shock: Earthquake in New York uses the Film Rating System.
Bang Bang You're Dead uses the Film Rating System.
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan uses the Film Rating System.
Behind the Planet of the Apes uses the Film Rating System.
Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare uses the Film Rating System.
Dinosaur Planet uses the Film Rating System.
Fail Safe uses the Film Rating System.
Gulliver's Travels uses the Film Rating System.
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear uses the Film Rating System.

But how do we know when these are films or television?

It's easy when one sees season in the title, then one knows it's television. But TV Movies require more research to verify it was indeed made for tv or not.

Then there's documentaries. How does one know if a documentary was made for tv or not? Or if it's actually just an episode of a tv series?

And just because a movie was made for tv, how does that disqualify it from being a film? Technically, aren't made for tv movies both?

So if I get this correctly the problem applies only to "unrated" features, which have no rating from MPAA and/or TV.

Does it really matter who did not rate the feature?
Unrated is unrated is unrated no matter which rating-agency did not do the rating.

Heard about stranger things.

One problem with this approach comes to mind though:

Scenario:
- Feature was originally a TV-presentation
- Feature has no TV rating
- For what reason ever the MPAA took a look at the DVD-release though and gave it a rating, which gets printed on the cover.

Which form of "accuracy" would you prefer?
-TV system -> Unrated (after all it originally aired on TV and has no rating in this system)
- Film system -> Rating given by MPAA (because that's what the rules tell us to do)
