Almost there in getting my media center fully automated thanks to FileBot so +RedNoah
Just wondering how I can make sure its the correct show that is getting renamed with some shows it will match them to the wrong show on TheTVDB such as "The Magicians (2015)"
I was wondering if there is some sort of filter I could use but I don't just download the latests episodes I download old shows too
Is there any sort of command I can run to say if "The Magicians = The Magicians (2015)"

So you're pre-renaming it to The Magicians (2015) to make it work better? Any reason why you're not using a --filter rule to exclude The Magicians instead?
You could also use the --filter as a white list, e.g. "only accept shows where Media/TV Shows already contains a folder that is named exactly after that show". That way you could force it to process as The Magicians (2015) by creating a folder called The Magicians (2015). You can do the white list as text file as well of course.

if added to the list i think it will work to ?
I don't know. I'd need the filenames to try this myself.

Your pre-rename scripts seem to do pretty much exactly the same as the Filename: Find & Replace script: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p2100
