You have more options for Smart Rules for Movie Collections compared to Shows.
Can we not make them the same?
It is useful for making collections based on name. Example: a Batman Collection: Smart Rule add by title "Batman"

The options are omitted for TV Show Collection Smart Rules because they do not apply to TV Shows.
why cant i do a smart rule by title for example to auto add all xmen series or batman series, etc?
Tags etc apply too

TV Shows do not have:
- Tags
- Durations
- Channel Numbers
- Cast
- Directors
- Etc...
These are all data properties that recordings (episodes and movies) have, TV shows do not have these things. If they did, we would have them as rules.
ah i guess i was mixing up labels and tags. fair enough.
guess that just leaves titles?
There's a reason Title/Name isn't in there, I believe it was a technical limitation that a lot of time was not spent on because it never seemed that reasonable that a smart rule on a title would be that useful on a TV Show collection.
While Smart Rules can be helpful to snap together a Collection real quick, they mostly exist to make collections dynamic, so content can be automatically added to them. Since shows that match a name just don't really come along that often, just adding it manually to the collection didn't seem so bad..
fair enough. at least i know it wasn't a bug or oversight
