iTunes 7: TV Shows Missing from iPod?

Am I the only one who sees this? I have video playlists that contain TV shows, many of which were downloaded from the iTunes Store. Some of the playlists do not appear on my iPod. I just upgraded iTunes to version 7.0.1, hoping this would be solved, but it hasn't been corrected.

Also, when I go into Videos on the iPod, should I only see the following?
Video Playlists
Movies
Music Videos
Video Podcasts
Video Settings

Should I also see something called "TV Shows"? I can't remember if it was ever there, or even should be. I do know that my "TV Shows" video playlist, as well as many other video playlists, do not appear under "Video Playlists" on the iPod.

What's the deal with iTunes 7? This reminds me of something Microsoft would have released. With all the people having issues, something needs to be done. I want to watch a TV show on my TV, and it should be on my iPod, but I can't even find it now. Any help that anyone can provide will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I am in the process of doing a restore on the iPod right now to see if it corrects the problem. I'll report back with the results.
 
iPod restore seems to have fixed the following issues that I noticed after I upgraded to iTunes 7.
1. "TV Shows" group did not show up under "Videos"
2. Certain video playlists do not show up under "Videos -> Video Playlists"
Both issues are fixed now, and it appears that the restore was necessary to get things working again.

For those experiencing problems with the iTunes 7 or 7.0.1 updates, an iPod reset may be necessary.

(Also, I posted this to the Mac OS X and Applications section of the forums because it was clearly an iTunes 7 issue, not a hardware or iPod issue, although the problem affected my iPod, in the end. Mods: Move this if you need to.)
