Could we have an option, either Show-wide or Season-wide to not check TVDB for updates for this Show or Season?
I get things just how I like them (with a few edits in the Season to merge or ignore some eps) then someone comes along and
edits the TVDB page for that show, screwing everything up (*cough*House MD*cough*).

It'd also make the initial TVDB download faster if we could skip some shows that have well and truely finished, like MASH, JAG, MacGyver and so-on.

this would be a nice feature.

The other option is to go to the forums on thetvdb.com and get an offending show fixed then locked by and admin. Although i think a show needs to be considered "complete" before they will lock it - ie no longer airing and have all episode info with screenshots etc

Which wont help with house :(

I would actually propose to change to epguides.com for things as dates and episodes names. I find that many times the dates are just wrong in TVDB.

They can, and will, lock specific seasons of currently airing shows - if there's a good reason.

You could use the ignore Seasons and/or remove Do renaming, Do missing Check from the show... I know this is kinda not what your looking for, but a work-around

Edit: Jumping back off the bandwagon :p
I chatted with one of the TVDB guys yesterday. From what they said, the new site should solve quite a bit of the problems with data reliability. And they've been making more of an effort to keep up with requests for corrections and reversions of mistakes and vandalism.
