Is there a way to lock metadata for one specific show?

I have this one show (Disney classics) that has hundreds and hundreds of episodes and gets updated/corrected at TvDB regularly. Episodes are renamed or moved around, which messes up things on my side of course.

I am happy with the way things are at the moment. I have the episodes that I want with the correct naming and everything. Is there a way to stop Plex from updating with the new metadata changes?
