Try this:

1) See the Jamu wiki page for details on the jamu.conf file 
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jamu#User_Configuration_File). Add to your 
jamu.conf file in the "[series_name_override]" section two entries:
In the Heat of the Night=10633
The Bachelor=2020

2) Download the correct coverart and fanart from TMDB web site and 
replace the corresponding coverart and fanart files that are under those 
two titles from your artwork directories. Make sure that you maintain 
the exact names when replacing the artwork files as you found in the 
matching artwork directory.

3) Now the hard part, you may need to remove the theme cached files for 
those artwork files. I am not sure if there is a theme cache for the 
"Watched Recordings" screen like there is for MythVideo. Do number #2 
above then see if the correct artwork is displayed. If this artwork 
issue is for MythVideo you will definitely need to deal with the theme 
cache.

After that the regular jamu cronjob will use the 
"[series_name_override]" inetref numbers rather than make a look up 
"guess" that originally caused the issue. Jamu always assumes a 
recording is a TV series before looking for a movie.

Good luck

Doug
