Unable to make TVDB scrapper work for 1 show - CraigT - 2015-03-07

I have a couple dozen tv shows in my library and thetvdb scraper has worked fine on them all. Until now. I'm trying to add "The Avengers" (the 1961 series, http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=71020&lid=7) to my collection, but no matter what format I use for filenaming, the scrapper doesn't find it. I don't know if it's because there are several different series that use the name or what, but if someone could give me a format for naming that would work, I'd appreciate it. Ones that have failed so far include:

The.Avengers.s2e01 - Mr Teddy Bear.avi
The.Avengers.2x01 - Mr Teddy Bear.avi
The.Avengers.1961.S02E01 - Mr Teddy Bear.avi

Would really appreciate any help with this, I don't understand why I can't make only one program not be found.

Thanks

Wow, I should know not to post by now, every time I do I find the answer about 30 seconds later. Anyway, the problem in this case was the directory was named "The Avengers 1961", once I took off the year, the episodes came right around. thanks anyway
