I think that you've missed out the "--" in front of pid (it looks like you've

What's weird is that you don't get an error but you get the info on 2 
completely unrelated programmes!


No, it's perfectly logical, it's just that the single dash in front of 
pid was not his only error, he's also missed out the double dash in 
front of 'tvmode', so GiP interpreted both 'tvmode' and 'good' as search 
terms, and thus found 2 programmes with 'good' in the title.
