In order to successfully release your mobile app without infringing on any copyrights, you should perform a proper rights investigation and consider seeking a license from the owners of the TV show. You should also ensure that you secure your sources so that you don't run into any allegations of content plagiarism or infringement. Furthermore, make sure all your legal documents like end user agreements, terms of service, privacy policy and disclaimers are properly reviewed by an intellectual property attorney before public release. Lastly but very importantly – communicate with the owners/providers/distributors of TV show regarding your plans and seek their approval prior to launching the app .

1. Ensure the TV show is still in copyright or has fallen into the public domain. 
2. Clearly communicate with a representative of the copyright holders about your plans for releasing a mobile app based on the TV show, including what content would be included in the app and how users would access it. 
3. If licensing is not an option, consider creative workarounds such as using only footage from fan videos or parodies to create an original version for your app without violating any existing rights held by the TV show's copyright holders.  
4. Seek legal assistance to review all content before publication to ensure there are no potential legal entanglements that could compromise your ability to release your mobile app on time and on budget .
