IMHO it's not configurable by the theme - I also failed to alter it.

You don't mention your version/theme but the actual text widget for  
0.25/MythCenter is the common one at  
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/themes/MythCenter/base.xml  
#160. <template> tags don't seem to work in this case.

The relevant code is  
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/videolist.cpp  
#602

You'll have to reset episode, season & subtitle to achieve your aim.
