I have been adding referenced series on my video review vlog for 3 years, but recently I've had trouble linking to episodes that reference Glitch and Scandal, the American TV series.

It is not that complicated. I selected "Movie Connections" like every other time, entered the title and selected the Referenced option, but none of the choices
where the shows "Scandal" (Shonda Rhimes) or "Glitch" (Australia paranormal show about people brought back to life).
Independently I opened both show pages, but can't get them to show as reference options. I have done this over 150 times.

I've noticed recently that something seems to have changed in this area. It no longer puts the most popular choices at the top of the list. As gromit says below, try using the tt number from the url. I use this a lot when I want to reference particular episodes of a series because it is much easier than trying to get those correct using the other format!

I agree with Adrian that the most popular choices should be at the top of the list. I would have expected that "Scandal" (2012) starring Kerry Washington would top this list and Scandal (1989) starring Joanne Whalley would be right up near the top as well, since those are the most famous titles with that name, yet neither one is in the top 20 choices here.

Mantis: I tested this and got the same result. However, there are two ways to select the TV series you are trying to reference if they don't show up in the list like this.
1. Provide the exact IMDb-formatted title of the series. For a TV series, the IMDb-formatted title is the title surrounded by quotation marks and followed by the year of the series' debut in parentheses. In this case, "Scandal" created by Shonda Rhimes would be entered as:
"Scandal" (2012)
The Australian series "Glitch" would be:
"Glitch" (2015)
2. Alternatively, you could go to the page for the series being referenced and get the title constant from the URL (the letters tt followed by a number). For example, "Scandal" is at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1837576/, so its title constant is tt1837576. If you enter tt1837576 into the "Other Title" box and then click "Check these updates", the software will automatically convert it to the formatted title "Scandal" (2012). The title constant method is particularly useful if you are dealing with a long title or a TV episode, for which the formatting of the IMDb-formatted title is complex.
Good luck!

I'm recovering from the flu, I nearly got this option, but the fever fought against reason. Thank you.
I know they are upgrading software, which means someones 4 year-old is working hard to make things better.
