I still think I am missing something. If I retrieve info for a show... where do I see the certifications show up? I don't see any change in the data structure returned and I can't find anything in the docs about it.

Hi goodeyesoftware,
I assume you're referring to the API? Adding these certifications was only me enabling them as options to save on TV series on the website. It has nothing to do with the API.
On the API side of things, to retrieve the certifications, I have to finish this ticket. Keep in mind though, once completed, we primarily only have US certifications right now. We will need our users to add these certifications which could take a while.

Should be all fixed up now, thanks for the extra details.
The API method is also live, check the docs for details: http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/reference/tv/tvidcontentratings
