Is there any way to add collections to television shows…

The other way around.  
You can add tv shows to a collection.  
However, you can only add the show as a whole. Not single episodes or seasons.

If I may amend… you actually can create season and episode collections (since the major collection update in March). However… while you can manually assign a collection tag to shows, you can only create episode/season collections via their respective context menu (`⋮` \> `Add to`)

The same works for entire shows – however with them you also have the option to simply tag them (✏ \> `Tags` \> `Collections`).

Additionally, in case you meant adding TV shows to a Movie collection, if you have a TV Library Collection and a Movie Library Collection with the same exact name it will display the cross content in each library:

TV Library “Macross Collection”:

Movie Library “Macross Collection”:

You just have to tag\name them that way (you can’t do “add to collection” between libraries).

This works well! They should take this to the next level and add the option to merge collections. That way they would all show up in the grid view (with sorting) rather than only the Movie OR Tv selected library. The other collection only scrolls horizontally.
