    organization of shorts tv series with no "seasons"

    How do I organize media for shows like "Mickey Mouse" or "The Pink Panther" in my library?

    I've recently been archiving some content and I don't know how to organize them logically. I know that there is a "TV Show" library type, but these episodes don't really have seasons, they are more like their own individual little "shorts". Things like old mickey mouse and pink panther cartoons. I could put them all in my Movies collection, but I feel like that would be messy and bloated.

    Is there a proper way to organize a series such as this? Any suggestions?

    You have to organize them to match what TMDB provides, which is the default metadata provider. You'll find that most "shorts" type TV shows still have season and episode numbers.

    You can classify them in the "TV Series" library by creating a single season that groups all the episodes together, even if they are independent.
