Doug,

Finally got around to trying this out...  What I discovered is that none of the 
TV shows were assigned a genre.  Genre are listed for these shows on TVDB (such 
as aniamiacs, BSG, etc).  Instead all of them are listed as "unknown".  Which brings
up a question -- unknown suggest no entry in the database, correct?  Thanks gain
