I didn't think "series" counted, for example Game of Thrones... it would have to be a TV "movie"?

I'd like to argue that it was a television movie aired in 4 parts much like the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit. These were not 1 hr stand alone shows but a movie released in 4 parts running 384 total minutes. I also would like to point out that the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special is allowed. It is a special event with a running time of 42 minutes. I also contend that at the time Lonesome Dove was marketed as a special event movie at that time.

Your reasoning's good enough for me!

Actually, I do. I should probably have been a lawyer.

Anyway, based on your logic, I propose tweaking the rules to note that a TV "miniseries" is acceptable, as defined here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniseries
Quote
In the United States, a miniseries or mini-series is a television show (or series) that tells a story in a predetermined, limited number of episodes. Many miniseries can also be referred to, and shown, as a television film.

Although if we're looking at a "story in a limited number of episodes" then we should combine, for example, the two Wicked films as a single Wicked film miniseries, and not allow jumping from "Wicked" to "Wicked: For Good" as a separate film.

Similar for the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows two-part release.

Anyway. Back to the chain. So many options, I'm waiting for someone else to pick a direction to go. smile
