6th round: Ken Burns' The Civil War
(Groucho, I have already picked a tv season set and a box set, but this should still be allowed. It is not a box set because it is just one movie; it is not a tv season set because it is an entire documentary that just happened to be shown on tv on different nights).

I would disallow the Civil War too...it is a boxed set, containing several discs, and it's a TV show, since it was originally aired on PBS and never shown in theaters.

maybe reefa's set should not count as a tv set. the civil war (and the anthology) is a feature length, multi-part documentary. it should count as a single movie, not a box set or a tv season.
groucho, I hope after ruling against me on Goodfellas that you will find in my favor on this one. if not, please let me know so I can make an alternate pick.

Alternate pick if Civil War is rejected: The Deer Hunter (Legacy Series). Not claimed on time by anyone else (I think someone had jumped the gun, but it came out today).

ryuryu2949: "The Civil War" is not a made-for-tv movie. It's a mini-series, and is as-such considered a television set. I think others have successfully made my point for me on this one. As such, I'm putting you down for "The Deer Hunter".
