It is time for the sequel to one of TSC's most famous contests of all time. Error 404 week? No... Under 25k week? Thank god no... Scrabble week? We wish, it's not wine yet... I'm talking about FILM vs TV week! We last played this about 2 years ago in TSC 392 and it became an instant moment in time, and now Tolis has agreed to let me host this again! Thanks to Tolis and all of the theme's supporters over the years. We were on the right side of history.

Here's the rundown of the rules:

For next week's theme you are required to submit an original song that was CREATED for a MOVIE or TV SHOW (not something random on the soundtrack, but it was specifically MADE for it). Theme songs for TV shows are also permitted assuming they fit eligibility criteria and were made for the show.
- An example of this is "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5 was on Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, but this is obviously not what the song was made for or where it premiered.

A couple of rules are being lifted for the week's theme, namely the charting and year of release rules. Therefore, you are permitted to submit a song regardless if it charted or not, no matter the year it was released. Additionally, covers are NOT permitted, and your song must be OVER one minute in length and UNDER five minutes in length.

The artist rule is still in effect but will be operated on a case by case basis (we had 2 songs each from The Greatest Showman and La La Land last time, and while "La La Land cast" might be the artist for them, Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone only sang in one of them, so that would be an exception)

We are not going to cap film vs tv entries on the assumption we are not going to have semis. If that changes, semis will likely be split up randomly, unless we are near even, in which case we would again have Movie and TV semis.

TL;DR
- You must submit a song that was created for a Film or TV show/series/TV movie.
- Regular charting rules do NOT apply.
- Year of release rule does NOT apply.
- The song must be over one minute in length, and under five minutes in length.
- NO COVERS (aka 99% of Glee, or anything that was on broadway first, etc, won't work)
- Music competitive reality shows are not allowed (no American Idol, X Factor debut singles, no kpop reality shows, no eurovision, etc)
- Anything unclear in rules will be decided upon by the hosts
