Can't get TV Shows to show on iPad

I downloaded 2 tv shows from iTunes and they show in my library on my computer. I've tried syncing several times but when I try to view the tv shows on my ipad, there isn't even a "TV Shows" tab in my library on the iPad. How do I get it to show on my iPad so that I can watch them from the iPad on the go?

Thanks.

You can try these things.


Firs thing to try is simply reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to power down. Then press the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Look and see if the shows are now in the Video app.


Open iTunes on your iPad and tap on Downloads in the lower right corner. If the download didn't complete, you can resume it from there.


Launch iTunes on your Mac. Click on iTunes Store on the left side. Click on Account under the Quick Links heading. Enter your password when prompted. About halfway down on the right side, click on Purchase History. See if the purchases showed up in your account.


See if any of these steps help you find the videos.

If you have the same problem as I did, I figured out the solution (god **** wasted time all morning for this).


Found the Solution. Right-click every TV show you want, click Get Info, and add in Season number (and Show (name) if it's not already filled) under the Video Tab. Also, if the title of the video file isn't enough to put the shows in order, add in the Episode #.


This new change is stupid. I have several hundred videos to fix now.
