Hi,
I'm having the above problem. I've tried wiping all the series off the iPad (by unselecting Sync TV Shows) and then having iTunes wipe the TV Shows off the iPad, but then when activating them again, iTunes still copies over watched episodes of the series.
Both in the iTunes TV Shows menu and on the iPad TV Shows menu, it shows that the shows have been watched!
