My query relates to the following show. http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/2645/jail-las-vegas
This show was originally called Jail and aired for 3 seasons, it then went on hiatus for a few years before being revived by Spike, who renamed the show Jail: Las Vegas and ordered 22 new episodes, should this show remain on this site under the Jail: Las Vegas title or should it be renamed to the original Jail, also what about the first 3 seasons which aired. Thoughts?

The question is, is this exactly the same show or is this a new show ?
The network changing and the new name points to a new show in my opinion. If that is the case, the old show can be added with its three seasons as a unique show.

The concept is the same, the only difference is the show only focuses on one jail in Las Vegas now rather than multiple jails as before. Spike who ordered the new episodes refer to it as season 4 on their website, this is probably because they have a syndication deal and also air the other 3 seasons. http://www.spike.com/shows/jail
We've had a few of these cases and they are all pretty complicated to solve.
It looks like "Jail Las Vegas" is from the same creator as the previous "Jail" and both the network and producers consider it a continuation. So I would lean towards doing that here as well.
That would mean the show should be called "Jail: Las Vegas", have 4 seasons, the network set to Spike, season 1-3's network set to MNT, and an AKA of "Jail".

Added the AKA, renumbered the current season and added seasons 1-3
Only the episodes of 1-3 needs to be added now :-)

nicely done :)
Seasons 1-3 added. You can also link TVDB id 83051 to it on your database (although its listing for the show is pure rubbish).
