Although not recommended behavior, you can run mythfilldatabase from
the command line with some options to update your listings. I most
recently had to do this on Tuesday, since Monday's Mets-Cards game was
was postponed and rescheduled for Tuesday after I had run
mythfilldatabase Monday (getting Tuesday's listings).

Since the game wasn't showing up, on Tuesday I ran: $mythfilldatabase
--refresh-today which solved everything.

If you really, positively need to update your Myth listings you can
run $mythfilldatabase --refresh-all which will update all upcoming
listings rather than just tomorrow and today+13. Note that you should
only run this from the command line when absolutely necessary.

If you've got this show to record under a rule (like Record every
showing on this channel), you don't need to worry -- Myth will pick up
the change on Saturday and adjust its schedule accordingly.
