You can save your favourite shows in the $HOME/.config/tv/shows file, one
show per line, and then invoke tv without parameters, like so: tv.py.
#Dramas
game of thrones
sherlock
Lines containing # will be ignored.
The show names can also be given as parameters by invoking tv.py "game of thrones" sherlock.
When invoked with parameters no show names will be read from the configuration file.
