You should be able to replicate the issue by creating folders with the same names. I believe this format is meant to be supported; if not, please consider this a feature request,

Note that some series do seem to be found in this format. "Sopranos, The" is indeed found as "The Sopranos" but this doesn't happen with any other series that I have.

That naming format is not supported, nor will it be. Given Kodi supports hundreds of languages, there is no practical way to tell when a comma indicates an article after it or just a comma in the title of the show. It is possible that the scraper might find a match from time to time, but there is no guarantee. If you must leave the shows named that way, I suggest you use a parsing nfo file to tell Kodi what show it should scrape:

https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Parsing

In the future, please do not post log snippets with the issue. You must provide a link to a complete debug log. This issue will be closed, as the scraper is behaving as expected.

Is it not possible to do it the same was as the movies addon?

Kodi supports hundreds of languages, but not all languages even have articles, probably not even most, and even those that do don't necessarily use this format for titles. For English it is quite widespread, and I think it would be useful to have it supported. Mainly, I'd like both Movies and TV addons to support the same title format.
