The new data importer has been deployed
Dear Amazing Loyal Users,
I'm happy to announce that we just deployed an update to the website. We've deployed our new data importer which is using thetvdb.com as a datasource instead of the dead tvrage.com. This is a limited implementation and we did not move the full importer feature set to thetvdb because their API has some limitations.
Going forward, we realized that we no longer want to rely on an external API source for our data. We always thought "We are going to do our own data once our community is big enough", and I believe we are close to that minimum community size.
With that in mind, we are shifting our effort in for the new version towards community tools for open sourcing the entire data set of followmy.tv. In the future we will combine the awesomeness that is our users, and develop our own data without an external API.
As usual, since we just deployed experimental code to production, feel free to email us if you encounter any strange data related bugs.

so happy to see this – thank you for all the hard work, it's much appreciated.
@Lemon Con Man, You,Me and the Apocalypse and Doctor Foster need updating. And the anime One Punch Man.
Yay! Thanks for all the hard work you do to keep this website awesome. I knew it would be up again before long :)
@Lemon never left! Btw Satisfaction (Season 2 - http://followmy.tv/shows/42199/Satisfaction_US/episodes/2 ) isn't updated yet.
Woohoow! Great job!
FYI: Bevergem still isn't on here. No rush, just sayin'. ;-)
Nice! Are there plans for a mobile app?
@Amberfool @JordiJM The Knick has been correctly updated now. Thanks for reporting.
@zephjc We currently do not import new shows yet
such a great news, thank you! looking forward to help with data
GOOD JOB! :) Love You Guys!
Hmm - is it still importing? Adam Ruins Everything is on thetvdb.com but not in here (as of this writing)
Great news......Great job guys !!! thank you !!!
The only thing I've noticed is that a fair few shows haven't added the missing episodes. Apart from that, everything looks back to normal! :D If there was a way for users to help with show/episode information or adding pictures or episodes, I'd be happy to help.
Thank god.
I would gladly chip in for a https://www.patreon.com/ so you can work fulltime on followmy.tv
Good stuff!
welcome back, you guys. We missed you. Never leave us again.
Thank you, thank you! I was using another site but i just don't like it as much. This one is the best by far, simple and organized, so once again, thank you for fixing it :)
Fantastic news! Thanks for all your hard work on this. One small glitch is that the new season of "The Knick" hasn't been imported. They're all there on theTVDB, but only the first episode of season 2 is here, which was imported from tvrage.
thank you btw
