I noticed the same behavior. This tend to happen with some shows for some time
(totally irreproducible).
Looking at the code I founded the url used for querying the DB. In my case was:
http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=fringe&language=en
So, at the moment that SeriesFinale was returning an empty list, that query
didn't return anything. Not even the <Data></Data>.
So I see two options here, probably this should be for different bugs.
1) improve the empty list with a "no series found" (or similar). This should be
the case of <Data></Data>
2) alert the user (maybe in a status bar) in case thetvdb isn't working well at
the moment. Don't know if the empty response came with a proper HTTP Status

Maybe future comments can confirm this situation.

Hi,

I could search for 30 Rock but indeed we should notify better when nothing is
found.

Closing as worksforme.
