How to name specials for tvmaze?

[TheDreadPirate]

@theguymadmax - thanks for the assist. I was approaching a similar conclusion. I hit the TVMaze API for a couple specials I have and there was no episode number.

Code:

{"id":1435875,"url":"https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1435875/violet-evergarden-s01-special-surely-someday-you-will-understand-love-ova","name":"Surely, Someday You Will Understand \"Love\" (OVA)",
"season":1,"number":null,    <-----  The important bits
"type":"insignificant_special","airdate":"2018-07-04","airtime":"00:00","airstamp":"2018-07-04T15:00:00+00:00","runtime":30,"rating":{"average":8.7},"image":{"medium":"https://static.tvmaze.com/uploads/images/medium_landscape/163/408197.jpg","original":"https://static.tvmaze.com/uploads/images/original_untouched/163/408197.jpg"},"summary":"<p>A story that takes place in the months between the fourth and fifth episode. Violet answers the request of a certain songstress.</p>","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.tvmaze.com/episodes/1435875"},"show":{"href":"https://api.tvmaze.com/shows/34013","name":"Violet Evergarden"}}}

Out of curiosity, why use TVMaze over TMDB or TVDB? Seems like a head ache.
