I think it does need a program change so that all titles beginning 'Frasier: ' are treated as the same series, but surely this would be very complicated to implement. Films with subtitles would mess it up for a start.

The way to do it, as has been suggested already, is to move the season indicator to a separate field, like the edition field works now. In the meantime it's possible to use the edition field locally if that isn't already occupied by something more important. Personally, I keep all my titles locked in the manner I prefer them so I don't really care how it is done in the online. It's never going to please everyone anyway.

translated season indicators on TV show season sets.

I see what you're getting at now, T!M.

However, that's not what I've been seeing.

I've been seeing a lot of English original titles being mucked around with.

So:
Bones: The Complete Season One

with an Original Title of:

Bones: The First Season

But, where is this supposed 'Original' title being taken from? The title of the show is simply Bones. The opening credits say Bones not the season rubbish.

I'm sorry, but if the title is in the same language then the use of Original Title for TV Shows seems utterly ridiculous; and one of those rare occasions when I think that Profiler has completely lost the plot.

I am talking about the display name in the main program itself.... there is an option to use the original title for collection list and all.

tools-->options-->display-->title format


Those that use original title for the title format will see for example 7 to 8 titles all saying nothing but Buffy the Vampire Slayer if the season info is not in the original title. I believe that is part of the reason  Invelos has us using season info in the original title now.

Bingo!

I do agree with this - it seems very odd to use the Original Title field for this. There should be a separate field for the season number.

I'll give you an example of a CSI set that I had and what happened when I upgraded to the Blu-Ray of the same set:

DVD release: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete First Season
Blu-Ray release: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The First Season: Special Widescreen Edition

Are they the same title? Yes.  So the Blu-Ray release has an original title of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete First Season, to link every cast/crew member in those 2 profiles back to the same 1 season.  According to the CLT, William Petersen has 438 titles in the database. Has he starred in or made that many movies or TV shows? Not even close. So any profile of CSI (Las Vegas) Season 1 must have an original title of the DVD release mentioned above. It was originally released under the DVD title above, so that's what the original title must be, no matter how much people don't like it.  Even if it's 1 word or number off (like 1 vs. One), each differently entered profile (language, locality) of CSI: S1 only has 1 original release title, and that's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete First Season. 

Same applies to (example) UK profiles. UK seasons use Series instead of Season, so any release that's differently worded must have as it's original title the title of the UK release, since it was released in the UK first.  Example: Downton Abbey: Series One may be cover-titled Season One elsewhere in the world, but it's orignal title must be Series One for proper linkage AND to prevent the bloating of the database with that 438-title mess.

I don't know how I can explain it any clearer than this.

That was the decision of Invelos.... not us users. So until such time something else is done or decided on by Invelos it is what we have to do.

Bad idea or not.... it still has to be followed until such time as Invelos changes their mind.

I of course wouldn't dream of trying to tell anyone what to do with their local databases. I was only saying that until a time that Invelos changes their mind... I imagine once they update the program to be able to have season indicators in their own field or what have you... we have to make our contributions as they request them to be made.
