I had a no vote for altering the title of this set.  To quote the no vote "from rules: The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections."  I always read that as meaning collections such as The Criterion Collection, not to place part of the title of a collection of shorts into that field.  Putting "Ultimate TV Specials Collection" in the edition field, and leaving the title to simply be Peanuts feels so wrong to me, but I'll withdraw if that's the consensus.

So, do you think that "Ultimate TV Specials Collection" goes in the title field, or the edition field?

"Peanuts: Ultimate TV Specials Collection" is the Title, as far as I'm concerned.

It's similar to something like "Generic Title: Seasons 1-3". You wouldn't put "Seasons 1-3" into the Edition field.

I would argue it's not similar to it, since the rules specifically state collections go as editions and don't say anything about seasons doing the same.

So by that reasoning the title of these sets is simply Looney Tunes.  (There are 6 volumes of Goldens and 3 volumes of Platinums)




And this one is simply Betty Boop (There are 4 of these)


And this one is Buster Keaton


And this one The Marx Brothers


And this one Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy

It's always been my understanding that the edition field was to indicate that a release was part of a collection, such as The Criterion Collection, rather than that it was a collection

For example:

The Criterion Collection



Global Lens Collection



Archive Collection



World Class Cinema Collection



None of these can be part of the title, the Collection is clearly separate.  Unlike the previous examples, where the titles clearly indicate that what is enclosed is itself a collection, rather than a part of one - or that it is the subsequent volume of an ongoing series.

"Ultimate TV Specials Collection" definitely seems like part of the box set title to me. In this instance it's hinting as to what the product actually is, not which version of the product it is. If I were to see that on the shelf, I'd assume that it was a set of most or all the Peanuts specials, whereas if I were to see This is Spinal Tap: Criterion Collection, I'd assume the movie was the same as other releases, only with the Criterion audio, video, bonus features, etc.
