The Movie Database Support

Hello
I would like to request the addon of TV Parental Guidelines to the movie section.
Many tv movies (especially those that are on streaming services) are rated by the way television shows are.
Here are some examples:

And You know why is that? Because most of the time MPAA treats these tv movies (or movies made for streaming services) as tv shows.

I have no idea.
It seems to me that stream services have decided to adopt another criterion.

I don't think so, TV-MA, TV-PG etc were created by MPAA. Also if you check on wikipedia You will see that these ratings aren't exclusive to tv shows.

Can you tell me if this rating or certification is official from the MPAA or if it is a "creation" by Netflix?
In other words, does this film have an official TV certification from the MPAA?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Parental_Guidelines#Ratings

OK. That was the source that TMDb used.
I wonder if we can find this film with this TV certification by accessing the MPAA website?

Could you please ask Travis to look on this thread?

I will notify the moderators group.

No.
And I advise you not to have too many expectations.
I'm not even a beginner in writing code.
But I think that adding more Certification values ​​would be a time-consuming task.
And to serve some streaming services that are "innovating", using TV certification in Movies.
When I informed you of your question, I put the link to both conversations.
Ours here and your post in the link I suggested.
If there is an answer, it will probably be given in that conversation.

And you can't get any Travis's attention?

I've already posted a message to him in the moderators group.
I assume you consider your question to be the most important issue that TMDb currently has to address.
Well, I'm sorry to say that there are several questions that have been asked by several users, and a portion of the users think that their own question is the most important.
So, please be patient. As do all other users.
