OK, it seems it's mostly shows which do not have a rating that are
causing the trouble.  I did a little SQL magic for a temporary fix, just
put in a Y rating for every show that didn't have one and also set a
dummy description for shows that didn't have one and that helped with
most.  Still some aren't recoginised as duplicates, not sure why
everything appears to be identical without any "blank" information.

I did see there's a fix in CVS for duplicate detection.  Any ideas on
how long until there's a new release with that included?
