Perfect.
So, that means habernac can move Family Ties back to Open?
Now, that we have that sorted out, and because I like to cause trouble, I have a question about the Miniseries/Movie category...
There have been a number of times in tv history where a miniseries or movie was produced that was so popular, it led to the storyline being continued into a series. Sometimes, this was by design, where the miniseries was produced to stand alone but also serve as a backdoor pilot for the series. Other times, the series came about because of the original's popularity. Of the shows that have been chosen, the new Battlestar Galactica is an example of this scenario.
There have also been instances where after a series is over, a wrap-up movie or miniseries was produced to wrap up or catch up with the characters after the end of the series (I think this is more common in the UK). Of the shows that have been chosen, The Office UK is an example of a series that had a follow up Holiday Special.
Would these miniseries or movies that were produced separately from the rest of the series still be eligible in the miniseries/movie category, or do they fall under the series' umbrella? Conversely, if someone picks the miniseries or movie, does that make the series ineligible for selection.
This also isn't a new phenomenon because I can think of two of the most popular family shows of the 1970s that got their starts as made for tv movies.
