Not all TV shows available to redownload on iTunes show up on Apple TV

Some TV Shows that are available to re-download on iTunes is not showing up on my Apple TV. Now I understand that not every show I purchased is available for re-download (2, exactly) – but those that are available on iTunes should theoretically be available on the Apple TV as well, right? Here are some screenshots to show what I mean:

I tried resetting my Apple TV a couple of times because I read online this might help, but it's not helping me. It still only shows 12 available items on my Apple TV whilst iTunes on my Mac shows 15.

They are all available, it's just a numbering and naming inconsistency between the devices.

On the Apple TV, the "All TV Shows 12" is referring to the total number of distinct TV shows (example: Seinfeld, 30 Rock, The Office, etc).

In the iTunes Store > Purchased section on your Mac, the "Total: 15 items" is referring to the total number of seasons of all the combined different TV shows.

You have 3 seasons of "Peanuts Specials" (which iTunes treats as one distinct show) and 2 seasons of "Peanuts' Charlie Brown" (another distinct show). So the total number of distinct TV shows is 12.
