Youtube-dl claims to be unable to download a web page.

Note that I checked both the show page, and since it was a javascript page, I went into the episode listing page as well.

@keybounce you provided link isn't correct. It should be http://www.pbs.org/video/natures-miniature-miracles-l5mfjq/

It's still a good idea to add support for shows.
