Franchised shows - Same name, different country.

When using some automated tools to find show and episode information, there are issues with franchised shows, those that have the same name but are filmed/created in different markets.  Some examples:

Lego Masters
Hell's Kitchen
MasterChef
etc

I read the policy documents for naming shows but couldn't find anything specific for these types of shows.  Would it be possible to allow the addition of a 2 letter country code at the end of the show name to differentiate the shows?  US, GB, AU etc?

The policy is abundantly clear in this matter:
There must be no suffixes like "(UK)" or "(2013)" that are not part of the original show name.

So the most logical solution would be to adjust your automated tools to take into account the country property of the show.

Thanks.  I'll go back and see how I missed that, it is quite clear.  Unfortunately I don't have the skills to patch my own version of PyMedusa.
