I'm pretty sure that's not the case.  I haven't set anything external to run
mythfilldatabase, it only runs when the server runs it (I set the setting in
mythsetup (or whatever it's called) to "run mythfilldatabase when
recommended" or something to that effect).

I'll check on this.  I don't recall changing any filters, and I certianly
wouldn't try to eliminate  this one show from any list, but I'll take a look
to see if something changed without my knowledge (or if my wife messed it
up).
