I am oh so close, but not quite there yet.
I next ran into the query.isnumeric() issue, which I corrected by 
changing to isdigit() as suggested elsewhere in this thread.  However, 
lookups are still failing.  If I run:
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/tmdb3tv.py -l en -a US -M Monk
the script returns valid XML text, which contains an inetref value of 
1695.  But when I then run:
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/tmdb3tv.py -l en -a US -N 1695
I get an error (ERROR: Episode not found: ['1695']
What am I missing here?
