Generic episodes don't generally have episode descriptions like "The Event" does.

At the very least mythweb is broken since it is not reporting the same thing as the front end. Currently it is showing duplicate
recordings for "House: Office Politics" while re-running the above test shows duplicates of "The Event". MythWeb while not
showing an episode title, is showing a complete description of the episode.

BTW, I continue to refer to mythweb because the mythweb format for Upcoming recordings is readable whereas the frontend listing
is so cluttered with events that are not going to record that it is hard to follow.

I will try to catch an instance of house with an episode title being duplicated, but that may just be a mythweb bug as I have
never seen that show up in a schedule test.
