That would be great, I didn't find a good way too get info for specific 
episodes (didn't try too hard either). So I gave up that try to learn 
Perl :/

One is able to get generic info from tv.com's search in the way the 
imdb-fetch works, but the reason I asked for two results is to get:

1. Search result of series from tv.com
2. When selected series in #1, fetch list of episodes and from there I'm 
not really sure wether to filter this list based on search query or just 
list them all (can be _many_).

Got any idea?
