I'd make it a menu / list, e.g. give a way to the dialog and in that 
dialog present a list of "Show only:" "Movies", "Series", "TV Shows" 
(maybe others, if we can determine them).

("The Show" latter is how esp. talkshows, quiz shows, TV magazines etc. 
are called here in Germany, from your post I infer that you call series 
also "show", I don't know the appropriate translation.)

I could provide those "types" of programmes fairly unambiguously with my 
XMLTV data source, if I invent a new, non-standard tag. (Somebody else 
would have to hack the USA grabber.) Is there interest in that?
