Show names with "&" don't retrieve properly from tvrage.com #9

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
TV shows with an "&" fail to retrieve the proper episode information from 
tvrage because of an error with quickinfo.php script provide by tvrage.com.  
The issue can be overcome by removing the & from the show title after passed 
into grabid.pl.

Add the following the $show line after the comment and before my site.

## Get information from tvrage.com using their quickinfo script
$show =~ s/\&//g;
my $site = get "http://services.tvrage.com/tools/quickinfo.php?show=$show";
