You need to follow Plex’s naming and organization guidelines for TV shows.

See this thread, which covers the same topic:

I have deleted the grouping on my server and reloaded it and it still only comes up with the three shows. If I move the other folders into a non TV Show group (Movie Group) they show up but not grouped together i think I am labeling things right. P.S. the 3 that show up I didn’t change the labeling at all that’s how I got them from a buddies hard drive
