didn`t find any information in the Forums about this. sorry, if i overlooked something.
the Rules say: Use the Title from the Front cover.

on the Front Cover (each Season from 1-3):
it`s Title: the BiG BANG THEORY

in the Database it is : The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Third Season

so,what is the correct rule of listing the Title now?
As written on the Cover? or as classic with correct Capitalization?

regards
michael

Indeed: just use standard capitalization rules for titles, and do not try to emulate any "funky formatting" used on the cover.

I saw your contribution, which leads me to offer another quick tip: the cover isn't the ultimate source for our data - the disc is.

Practical example: it's lovely that the cover declares the running time to be 507 minutes (maybe they include bonus material in that - we don't), but the actual total running time is 454 minutes. Now there's nothing wrong with going with the cover data to start with, but as soon as someone has gone through the trouble of verifying the actual running time from the disc, then that actual value should stay.

Similar for region coding (yes, the cover shows a "Region 2"-logo, but it's really 2/4/5) or for the main audio track (cover says "Surround", but it's really 5.1). Seeing as the current profile lists all these elements (running time, regions, audio tracks, subtitles) correctly - all verified from the actual discs - you shouldn't try to change it back to reflect the erroneous cover data.
