I noticed a show notably 8 seasons of Barney Miller ripped and compressed is not listed in my Tv show area, I move to another drive and rescan, it does not show, I re rip to MKV’s still does not show I’m at a loss. It’s in the same structure as all my other TVs series

Make that

Barney Miller {tvdb-75927}/Season 01/Barney Miller.S01E01.mkv

and try adding it again.

Do also verify that you only add the immediate _parent_ folder of `/Barney Miller {tvdb-75927}` to the Plex library (on the “Add Folders” tab).  
e.g. if it’s located in `/Media/TV/Barney Miller {tvdb-75927}`, then point Plex only  
towards `/Media/TV`
