first of all, please try and refrain from overusage of AIM type talk. The occasional LOL and such is acceptable, but you had a whole sentence where none of your grammar was correct.

Back on topic, are you saying you imported your own yv shows in mp4 format, and you want them so be listed under "tv shows" when click get info? If so, have you simply changed the video kind from movie to tv show under the 'options' pane of "get info"?

iTunes does not at present completely support changing your own videos to "TV Shows." You can select it in the "Get Info" window and it will show up in some parts of iTunes, but it will not show up on your iPod or in Front Row. (In previous versions of iTunes, you couldn't even select "TV Shows".) Until Apple fixes this, you have two options. The easy way is to simply make playlists for all of your TV shows and access them on your iPod using those playlists (not the "TV Shows" menu item.)

On the Macintosh, the other option that I know of is to use the program called Lostify, which can insert the proper information into your files, making them show up in your iPod's "TV Shows" menu and in Front Row. This is a little time consuming, though, since Lostify actually makes new copies of your files with the information in them. You have to delete the old versions and probably rename the ones that Lostify created. Finally, you will have to delete them from iTunes if you already imported them and reimport them. If you don't do this, they don't seem to show up properly at least in Front Row. Lostify can be downloaded here.

I've read of some other options for Windows, but I am not really familiar with them. Check out iLounge.com's forums for more information on this kind of thing.

And yes, please do speak in complete sentences in proper English. People are MUCH more willing to help people when they show they've taken enough time to at least write out a couple of sentences in understandable English.
