Trouble with 1980s Sitcom "Gimme A Break"

Been using Filebot to re-name my collection of shows on my drive and it's been working great for the most part, until I get to a show called "gimme a break" There are 130 something episodes and when I load the folder with the show called gimme a break (from my drive) into filebot, it's bringing up random shows that have nothing to do with gimme a break. It's as if it's search for show names within the titles of the actual episodes in the gimme a break folder. I've tried multiple times, scrolling through various options it gives me, but nothing will work for this particular show. Please help. Thanks

Instead of screenshots I just made a short vid showing my problem. The show is listed in tvdb but it doesn't match it at all using that search or even auto search

Hold
SHIFT when clicking
TheTVDB if you want to force your own search query.
See FAQ #2:

PS: If you like a show, make sure to
give it a rating. FileBot will penalize shows that have 0 ratings (i.e. nobody cares about).

Thank you so much. I should have read the FAQ. Additionally, I didn't realize you could actually change it from air date vs DVD order. I was able to search, find and rename the show in question using shift to enter the title manually.
