Hi, Chasil.

I'm not familiar with this production, but may be able to answer your question on a more general level. I just now checked the TMDb "Contribution Bible" and see it says, about miniseries (which I guess this is considered by TMDb to be), the following (take particular note of the next-to-last paragraph):

Miniseries

A miniseries is defined as a single-season television series telling a complete story in a pre-determined number of episodes. Event series and limited series should be set to miniseries if they have no more than 12 episodes.

The "miniseries" type take precedence over the other types of TV show. Scripted and documentary miniseries should be set to "miniseries".

TV movie originally released in multiple parts should also be marked as miniseries.

An entry containing two or more miniseries should be set to "scripted" or "documentary" instead of "miniseries".

Hi genplant29,

thank you very much for this clarification. Under this circumstances it seems like it's listed correctly (even if it feels incorrect for me ;-)).

Regards

Sorry to "butt in" Chasil.... what is it that you're asking? From what I remember about this TV movie, it was a two part mini-series. I think it was 3 hours the first night and the second night was 2 hours. It aired on CBS in Los Angeles. I hope this answers your question.

Hey Burt_ I'm sorry for not beeing precise enough.

From my understanding these are movies. Both are about 1h30m. I guess it's not a common series.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" e.g. are also listed as indipendent movies. What is the difference?

So my intention is to have a better understanding why these movies are listed as a series with two episodes or to have two individual movies listed.

Hello, again, Chasil.

If you want a moderator to see this thread, and one provide explanation for why Movie vs. TV categorization, click on "Edit" for this thread, then, below this thread's Subject line, switch "General" to "Content Issues". That way this thread will transfer over onto the Support forum's "Content Issues" area and a moderator will most likely respond within a day, two, or three.

Presently this thread is on the Recent TV Discussions forum, that usually moderators don't monitor, but that "just regular members" are typically on and respond to.

Hello,

This is listed as a television miniseries because it was originally released on television in multiple parts.

So the criteria is that it was released on television instead of cinema?

Yes, and the fact that it aired as two episodes, on two different nights.

Thanks for your fast respond. That makes it clear and now it makes sense why other movies are treated different.

You're welcome. Closing topic.
