krenamer can do this. It just is a regex front end. You could do it with a shell script too.

is there more than 1 season in you show, and do you want, for example, to rename tvshow132 to Tv Show S05E01 ?

Why not just do this with a for loop in the terminal? I don’t think you need to over complicate it by downloading another program.
