Those megasets are exactly what I thought the rule was referring to. Now the question is, do sets such as the Fawlty Towers and Black Adder Collections fall under this same rule? They are complete collections but nowhere close to resembling a megaset. They come in sets much like a season of Three's Company or Married With Children does.

This is obviously not covered in the Rules, and was not really contemplated at the time this particular Rule was written.

I can only give you my personal take on it, and that is that Black Adder should not be treated as a "Megaset".  Perhaps the Rules need to include some kind of cutoff, like more than 50 episodes.

Maybe not contemplated by you, Hal, but it was by me. Not that you were willing to listen, just like now. Its not like they are a new phenomenon, Hal, they have been around for several years now, they are now becoming more common as the Distibutors useit to upset those that bought individual seasons and get a few more dollars.

You persist in accusing people who do not agree with your position of either not paying attention or not understanding.

Neither is the case.  I fully understand your position and have paid attention to every statement you have made.

I simply disagree with you!  Period!

You also persist in stating that you are not trying to force your personal preference onto the community and yet we have two polls currently going which overwhelming indicate that the community does not wish to have cast and crew in the "boxset" parent profile of "Complete Series" of TV shows.

You promptly fall back on your, "I am a database guru" argument, because you cannot overcome the common sense arguments being presented.

The database structure is not our concern!  It is Ken's concern.  Anything that we propose here that "is destructive to the database" will promptly be dismissed by Ken.  That is his call, not yours.

There is no plausible argument that you can present that would convince me that leaving cast and crew out of "Complete Series" profiles, while adding cast and crew to single season profiles, will in any way shape or form be "destructive to the database".

That too is a sheer fabrication.

Ok...so at this point what I am gathering from the discussion is that this rule:

"Note: In rare cases where multiple Complete TV Series are packaged together, the Box-set rules can be applied, treating each series like a single film - applying the above rules for it’s individual profile."

was intended for these megasets and not for sets such as the Black Adder set and the Fawlty Towers set. So box set rules would not apply to these rather TV set rules should apply. Yes or No? or Maybe?
