Show Me The Money!

Kinda inline with http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/1973/watch-episodes-online ... I don't know why you don't have links to Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, etc on the various pages. Certainly at a minimum a link on the show pages to the various Amazons around the world. It's not like you are trying to force people to go forth and spend spend spend ... but if someone wants to buy a show/season DVD/Bluray they see here, why not pick up a few shekels ... they'll find the links anyway ... why leave money on the table?

PS: If you don't want to do that ... can I ? :)

One of the main issues is that without storing the IDs of all the providers, you'd have to do it by name matching, which is obviously not ideal.

Though what some sites do is just provide a search link - no guarantee it will be there.

We could at least store IDs for Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, this would cover about 90% of US/UK shows. But I assume that pending feature will do just that :)

Amazon has an affiliate program, but it's unusable since they only pay by cheque, and every sane bank stopped processing those years ago.

I don't know about the others, but I'm not sure if they are large enough to warrant the effort. (As gazza and tnt said, providing accurate links automatically isn't possible, you'll have to do a lot of manual matching)
