Title: Bewitched: The Complete First Season Edition: In Colour
Would this Edition comply with the rules?
Knowing following:
There are no Black and White versions of this release in Region 2,3 & 4
DVD Releases:
The colorized editions were the only ones released in regions 2, 3 and 4.
and:
Edition
The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition). It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box, and ensure it will help distinguish between different releases of the same title.

Well, it could be argued that the colorized version *is* as special version of the original B/W TV series 
Besides, season one R1 was released in a B/W DVD version too, so one might wonder...
And the Distributor specified "In Colour" on the front cover.

That said, I think the Edition field is not strictlicy necessary in this case, but it's not strictly against the Rules either. I can't see no harm done if someone wants it.

The colorized versions of Season 1 were released in the United States, notice the "correct" spelling for color.     In fact most stores initially carried the colorized versions only, until they realized that they were upsetting the purists.

I agree that you need to distinguish the releases in the Region 1 as you have the two releases B/W and color .
However the B/W releases in region 2,3 & 4 don't exist. So you can not distinguish with a release that does not exist.
Please also notice the UK PG viewing advice, so its defenitly no R1 release.
If they want it, not according the rules, they should keep it local.

The question is if the edition field may be used to "distinguish between different releases of the same title" from other localities than the one of the release at hand. Strictly speaking I think it may because you could have releases from different localities in your local database and therefore you might need that field as a distinguishing factor.

The distinguishing factors:
Region 1 and the there released B/W version.
All colur releases for all seasons are marked "In colour". So I would only be required to have the edition B/W to distinguish those between the colour and B/W.

The rule says that "If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box", so you can not use the edition field for the minority which is presented in Black and White if that's not written on the box.

OK, it's there. Now if we would say that the "In Black & White" is the original version, you would still have to use "In Colour" on the coloured version. In any case according to the rules you're allowed to use them both, because they both help to distinguish and they are both written on the box.

again Martin: There are no Black & White Region 2,3 or 4 of Bewitched. So the edition In Colour has no meaning here. By going for the BW you already know you have to go Region 1 where you find the two different editions of Bewitched. Al Bewitched Season Edtions in region 2 have the "In Colour" on the DVD cover front.

While I don't think it is required, I do think it is allowed 'per the rules'.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

You should re-read my first reply in this thread, because I already explained why I think it's allowed to use "In Colour" in other areas.

So if someone is going to erase this it would be alright because this entry is not required.
Or if someone adapts all the none region 1 to edition: 'In Colour' it would also be alright as allowed per rules?

If someone was trying to remove this from the online, I would probably vote 'no' as there really isn't any reason to remove it.  It is on the case, so it is allowed 'per the rules'.  This would be one of those things that should be change in the local only.  No need to start ping-ponging.

No, it would not be o.k. as R1 US doesn't spell 'color' that way. 

But, yea, as long as their are 2 versions...a B&W and a Color...or it said "In Color" on the case, I would say it is allowed 'per the rules'.
