Good point, but the strange this is that this only happens to this show. 
All other queries respond within the given timeout.

I haven't been hammering the server, but tried this at 5 to 10 different 
instances for the last 2 weeks. All requests timeout for this tv show 
only. I might have been extremely unlucky with the timing of all my 
request tries, but I doubt it.

I am not going to make this a permanent timeout, just to test that it is 
the timeout that is the problem, and not something else.
