Unless I’ve been watching every day I lose track of the episode number and gave to rely on air date to know when an episode is from. The air dates for record episodes of the daily show are showing up as being nearly 20 years ago!
I am having this same issue with “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”. The issue is that the production team started to re-number this series when Trevor Noah took over from Jon Stewart. If you look at a long running show like “Jeopardy” it is now on “S33E84”. There needs to be a way to update or correct this issue OR the name of the TV Series needs to be more specific. The actual name of this show used to be “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” not just “The Daily Show”
So Plex thinks it’s s2 of the daily show that started with Craig Kilborn which aired in 1997?
Here’s the odd thing about that though… I have it set to record only new airings. So Plex should make up its mind. Either its a rerun from 1997 or its a new airing with an original air date of 2017…
Same issue here. No solution in sight! And I’m Plex Pass member too 
Spent so much time debugging .
i have the same issue with “Home and Away” in Australia. the EPG reports “Season 1” but we are currently on “Season 33”. the metadata gets re-written after the recording finishes as well, which means the correct episode description in the EPG gets overwritten by the metadata from the 1988 season 
there needs to be a way to manually override this kind of thing. i’d be happy with some sort of mapping file that changed the numbering or gave it an incremental jump as a workaround.
ultimately, however, the issue lies in the EPG data. it’s great that plex gives us EPG for free, but when it’s wrong it’s very frustrating. i don’t have an “alternative” i can use.
Update Aug 12, 2018 “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” is still a trainwreck for Metadata. Artwork, Air dates, episode numbers are all years out of date. This correction needs to be “hard-coded” if necessary. “The Daily Show” and “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” should be treated as two totally separate shows.
