Hi guys, what is site's policy on userscript ? I tinkered a little userscript that do this:
2) Show - Watchlist
3) Watchlist
Fourth radio button make episode skipped.

Yes please!! This looks great to me for single click actions.
Hi Alex2k,
You're welcome to create userscripts to service yourself and others. However you should make users aware that TVmaze itself is not affiliated or responsible for the scripts nor does it provide any kind of support.
cheers,
Jan
Thank you Jan.
DISCLAIMER: You can use this script as you want, install it in any browser you could figure out how, modify and create derivative works. It can broke at any time if site design changes, but you probably could be able to fix it - it's very simple script not rocket surgery. You are on your own. Figure it out.
Script link: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8e30b799f174bacb660838af0f109506
INSTALLATION:
Mozilla Firefox:
1) If needed install Greasemonkey add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
2) Go to https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/8e30b799f174bacb660838af0f109506/raw/35b90bc1cdd0fb684d687d8af019c6d284872233/tvmaze_episodes_list_enhancement.user.js and accept (press install button).
Google Chrome (accordingly to http://superuser.com/questions/450893/how-to-install-a-private-user-script-in-chrome-21#450903):
1) Download https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/8e30b799f174bacb660838af0f109506/raw/35b90bc1cdd0fb684d687d8af019c6d284872233/tvmaze_episodes_list_enhancement.user.js
2) Open chrome://chrome/extensions/.
3) Drag and drop the user script file on the page you opened in step 2.
Personally, i only use Firefox, so installation for Google Chrome could be outdated.
Thank you!! Is it be possible to add the labels U W A S above the radio button columns? This is great!

You are welcome. New script version (1.01): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/80b2a1036a06ede16d7b8be3ec53758f
To download/install script push button "Raw" on script's page.
Also important note: icons/titles/radiobuttons are created based on Status dropdown box content. So, if new states will be added or order of the states changed, script should survive that.
For Chrome it's best to use TamperMonkey since it's 100% compatible with GreaseMonkey's API and functioning.
Unfortunately I couldn't get the script to work neither in Chrome nor in Firefox. I keep getting "String.substring is not a function" error.

I use FireFox 47 & Greasemonkey 3.8 on Windows XP & Ubuntu 16.04. Try this version https://gist.github.com/anonymous/10115287cd69c1524c70babf32dea5c5#file-tvmaze_episodes_list_enhancement-user-js
If it won't work try to use first version of the script - it work exactly the same way except fancy column headers.
Thanks, that fixed it.
Thanks for the fancy column headers! Looks great!!
I notice odd behavior when I have multiple episodes for a show listed and I change one from acquired to watched. It refreshes that part of the page but the radio buttons disappear. I have to reload the page entirely to get them back. Is this expected behavior due to the way the page updates or something fixable? It is also possible this occurs for any status change where multiple episodes are listed but all I have on my watchlist with multiple episodes are marked acquired from before the script use. Thanks for working on this! I love it :)

Aha ! That's because i only lightly tested changing states on watchlist before and didn't tested changing states at all after adding columns headers. I don't use watchlist to mark episodes as watched, i use show's episode list, so this issue was unknown to me. Will be trying to fix it.

Now supporting partial page refresh on tvmaze.com/watchlist after watchstate changing. Working, but ugly as shit and brittle. But hey, working stop gap solution is better than nothing :-)
Would be quite nice if you'd start using openuserjs.org or greasyfork.org. That way GM/TM would be able to automatically update script.
Or even non anon gist would be good for that matter xD
Thanks tho.

The update isn't working for the expected results. Going from acquired to any other state the section refreshes and radio buttons do not come back. They flash but don't stay. I don't remember them flashing before so that's new!
Further testing. Going from unwatched to acquired and back to unwatched the radio buttons disappear but if I go to another episode in the same show and change the status to acquired by the drop down menu, the section refreshes and the radio buttons return.
Appreciate your time on this script!

Well, i tried to catch page refresh and add radio buttons so that is flashing, but it's inherently brittle. I'm afraid without deeper page logic modification it's impossible to achieve predictable results. And believe me, you don't want this deep modifications, because site could broke instantly after slightest modifications. My goal always was slight correction/rearrangement of controls, so script could survive minor site modifications or at least fail gracefully and not broke silently and start corrupting data while presenting appearance that's everything still OK.
So, for now refreshing page then needed (hopefully not every time) or using episodes list/show's watchlist instead of watchlist seems as your choice. I i'll take another crack at it, but as i said that's inherently unpredictable.
OK!! It looks great with the columns and I can deal with refreshing when I binge watch, or head into the view all list since THAT list is stable. Thanks again for the great tool! :)

Now should work consistently on tvmaze.com/watchlist.
