Turns out it's difficult to set the year for a tv show. Unlike movies, that is not typically part of the addition name, or it could even be the year of the season rather than the year the whole show started.
Some ideas on how to resolve:
Add help text to clarify that it's the year for the whole show
Give option to pick from an existing show already added. This would also solve the issue of spelling mistakes when adding multiple seasons, especially if done over long periods of time.
Integrate with an online tv database to search for shows. That way the year will be automatically populated.
Plex has info on what their metadata agents use to determine the movie/series details. At least a few of those services have APIs that can be used directly. That way we can do all the searching by ourselves.
