There's not really anything a "sample" script is really going to tell 
you. Each grabber needs to be tailored to the specific website it is 
retrieving data from. They all need to return results in the format 
documented on this page.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_Universal_Metadata_Format

The only examples to view are going to be the three currently in the 
source tree, and installed to MythTV's share directory. Those are on for 
the TheTVDB.com API, and two different versions of the TheMovieDb.org 
API. Could you be more descriptive about what you are trying to 
accomplish? If we had a better idea what you were doing, we would likely 
be able to better guide you to the information you need.
