Possible to include Season and Episode counts in Fix Incorrect Match for TV Show using TMDB?

When doing a Fix Incorrect Match on a TV Show using TMDB, is there a way to display total Seasons and Episodes in the search results (like a Gracenote search does)?
I don't have an API account with TMDB, but see an example in their API v3 docs TV Series Details
Response
number_of_episodes integer Defaults to 0
number_of_seasons integer Defaults to 0

Just like matching with Gracenote, I have to go to the TMDB website and search for the show/series and drill down to see if it's the correct match based on OAD, artwork, summary, number of Season/Episodes and the Episode names. Can no longer do that at the Gracenote site.

I agree, seems like an available field value in the API.

Gracenote Search

TMDB Search

Appears like it should be possible to bring in the fields you highlighted since they are at the same level as the other ones that are being imported.

Of course, without looking at the data I don't know if they are any good or even have values...

All I can think of is that it would require an extra API call per show and might significantly increase the amount of data returned.

Yes, it would require an extra API call per result, which would greatly increase the requests it would take and the amount of time it would take to respond. We're not going to be able to do that.
