filename format. It basically takes the filename uses some filtering
to guess the show name and episode information, then looks through
tv.com.

Though I think right now its broken, tv.com's web page format has
changed. I plan on converting it to tvrage.com which doesn't seem to
care if you scrape and has a cleaner html anyway. I just haven't had
the time with my new job and being in the middle of moving.
