Not a requirement for season folders, but in following your current naming convention, place all specials in a Season 0 folder

\TV Shows\Seinfeld\Season 0\

Hi Steelman 1991, I couldnt get Season 0 to work however I did get success with Ardalista's solution.

Special - Season 8 Bloopers = Seinfeld - S00E24.mkv and
Special - Season 9 Bloopers = Seinfeld - S00E25.mkv

Thanks guys

Great stuff..

Just for future reference.. when you look at the data in TVDB.com for specials "Aired Episode Number" is the episode to place after the S00
