Does it look silly?  Yes.  Do I like it?  No.  Is that what the rules require?  In my opinion, yes.

Okay. Again, technically, you have something vaguely resembling a point. But only technically. The entire userbase, throughout the various regions and localities, have ignored those numbers for all previous seasons. Sure, you can refer to a strict reading of the rules and claim they were ALL wrong, but the fact of the matter is that if the rules really required 'MacGyver: The Complete Sixth Season 6' or 'MacGyver: The Complete Sixth Season: 6', then the rules would be wrong. And everybody understands it: the fact of the matter is that nobody ever entered any of these seasons like that, and nobody wants to. You may well be "right" in theory, but you'll be very lonely...

I think this is one of the cases (seasons 1 to 6)  where everybody agrees to apply common sense and "interprets" the rule and nobody forces a decision just to make it according to the rules.

There is nothing to interpret, the rule is quite clear.  That doesn't mean I will change it or vote 'no' against it or anything else.  All I did was point out what the rule said.  If that makes me a bad guy, then I am a bad guy.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

As the poll stands right now, 11 out of 26 people believe the number should be included so I am not as lonely as you suspected I would be.  Again, I am just pointing out what the rules require.  You may not like it...heck, even I don't like it...but it is what it is and I am not the only one who thinks so.

Slight correction: 11 out of 26 believe it should be included for this seventh season, which is a bot of an odd ball out, thanks to the fact that it uses "Final" instead of "Seventh". However, judging from what I see in database, absolutely NOBODY has added the "6" to the title of the sixth season, and that was specifically what I was talking about - even in the bit you quoted.

You are correct, I was just following the line of thinking that, if we add the '7' here, what do we do with the '6' or the '5'?  Seems, to me, that we would do the same.
