Pretty cool idea. How are you getting the info from TVRage.com? If you're doing a cURL type web scraping then you might want to check out if you're even allowed to do that.

Definitely add show times, like your friend said.

Are you planning on monetizing this at all?

Thanks! TVRage now offers an API with this information and I am utilizing that.

Don't really see this taking off yet and don't plan to monetize unless it gets too expensive to run. A couple of hundred hits a month is affordable.

I added the show time + day now.
