How do I make sure my TV Shows show up correctly?

I’m trying to get TV Shows loaded into Plex, but it seems to be having trouble with Rifftrax, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Power Rangers. Every time I go back into the TV show area, the various seasons for those three shows, and sometimes Man in the High Castle, are all separated out, and sometimes merged together. I have corrected this multiple times, but have no idea why these shows seem to keep giving me problems. Has anyone else had this issue?

  1. Look up your show on TheTVDB
  2. Take the title as it is used on TheTVDB.
    If there is something in parentheses, take that too.
    If the title contains invalid characters (depends on your file system), like § : % *, simply leave them out.
  3. Check the naming and the folder structure of your show.
    Name the top folder of the show exactly after the title on TheTVDB.
    No abbreviations. No additional subfolders. No aliases.
    Add the (year) in parentheses of when episode 1 of season 1 of this show was aired.
  4. Name the episode files according to the above linked naming guide.
    Use the same title as for the top folder. Show's Title (year) - s01e01 - additional info.ext (’- additional info’ can be left out)
  5. After you corrected the naming and folder structure, perform the Plex Dance with all files for this show.
