The solution is rather simple (if not annoying). I'm having the problem on my PC, but since both Mac and PC users seem to have the same problem, I assume the same solution will work.
For every episode in the season that is not grouping correctly, edit the episode by appending the same arbitrary number to both the Show and the Season Number (for example, Show=Sealab 20215 and Season Number=35). Do this for EVERY episode in the season, even the ones that appear to be grouping properly. When you're done, every episode of the season should be combined into one group.
Now, Get Info on that first episode and fix the Show and Season Number (get rid of that extra number you appended). Click next and repeat for the rest of the episodes. Should be fixed.
I tinkered around with tagging fields in "Get Info" until I was blue in the face with only minimal success.
The quickest way for me to fix the grouping of seasons in TV Shows is to delete them in iTunes BUT BE SURE TO KEEP THE FILES. Then just go to File > Add to Library..., then browse to the actual files, multi-select them, then click "Choose". It will put them back into iTunes properly grouped.

I just began adding some episodes of House MD to my iTunes library that I ripped from the Season 1 DVD's I got for Christmas. My only problem is that despite being tagged properly (to the best of my knowledge), they are all showing up as separate shows in iTunes rather than being all grouped into House MD Season 1. I like to keep things organized in iTunes so this is starting to irritate me.
Here's what I'm seeing:

Instead of something like this (screenshot taken from an iLounge.com article):

I've gone through and tagged all the episodes as being TV Shows, with the Show as House MD and Season 1; everything matches as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure why iTunes isn't grouping them together. FYI I'm running iTunes 7.6 on Leopard. Any ideas/tips are appreciated...Thanks!
