OS build 19042.610

I’m attempting to add Galactica 1980 as a TV Series.  
The folder is named “Galactica 1980”. This matches thetvdb naming for the show.  
The next folder in the directory is “Season 01”.  
Inside the season folder, the naming convention is “Galactica 1980 - S01E0x.mkv” where x is the next episode number.

I’ve done the “[Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064)”.  
I’ve attempted to “Fix Match” on the series.  
I have attached screenshots demonstrating everything stated above.  
What is my next move to get this to match?

Try it with the release year (1980) in parentheses:

This resulted in an automatic match on my Windows test server. You may need to dance the entire show again.
