Try naming the shows files `The Magilla Gorilla Show` as per the name on tmdb and see if it helps.

> **[The Magilla Gorilla Show](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/11167-magilla-gorilla)**
>
> Magilla Gorilla is a fictional gorilla and the star of The Magilla Gorilla Show by Hanna-Barbera that aired from 1964 to 1967.

You will likely need to preform a full [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) (all steps)!

**EDIT:** I tried to match the show manually using `The Magilla Gorilla Show` and `Magilla Gorilla`, both failed, even using a year hint. I had to use a matching ID to get it to match `The Magilla Gorilla Show {tmdb-11167}`.
