Can't get TV show name to display

I imported a set of .mov files as a TV show, or at least I tried to.

I imported them into iTunes, set them to the same "Show" name, numbered them as season 1, episodes 1-6. I also named them "Episode One", "Episode Two", etc. I also marked them as "Media kind: TV Show".

Everything looks fine in iTunes. The problem is when I sync them to my iPhone, when I look in Videos, under TV Shows, it shows "Episode One" as the name of the show.

So for example, on my iPhone, under TV shows I might see: Breaking Bad (4 episodes), Mad Men (2 episodes), House (3 episodes), Episode One (6 episodes).

How can I make the iPhone display the show name? Both "Show" and "Sort Show" are set, but the iPhone seems to be ignoring them...

Solution 1:

You will want to check the following fields - they are the ones I see on iOS 6 when I sync a TV show to my iPhone:

• Video tab: Show and Season Number
• Info tab: Name and Album

The information from the first item (Video tab) is shown in the top level view of the Videos app and the second line (Info tab) gets shown when you drill down to see the episodes that have synced over to the phone. If you sync to an iPad, more details are shown in the video app - but the core 4 items above are shown there as well.
