I have a new 5G iPod - Black. (I LOVE IT!) but....

I copied some SNL skits to my iPod and although I set them to "TV Show" in the "Options" tab in the iTunes Get Info window. I also tried categorizing them in "TV Show" genre with no luck. The only TV show that actually shows up correctly in my iPod is the second season of The Office (which was purchased via iTunes).

What could I possibly be doing wrong for these files not to show up under "TV Shows".... although they DO show up in a video Playlist... so for now, I've set up a Playlist called "Other TV Shows"... Kinda a weird workaround for something that should just appear in the "TV Show" section of the video section.

Sorry to waste a thread... I just found my answer... oops.

Apparently the correct tags are not available to edit in iTunes just yet... so I gotta use an app called "Lostify". I hope anyone who was wondering a similar thing finds this helpful.

I was wondering that as well, what's the point in the TV Show tag in the latest iTunes if it does nothing?

Anyway, Lostify worked perfectly, thanks
