Trying to In my rename as follows:
Custom Rename by Series → %showname% (%premiereyear%)\

One series ‘fails’ to find %premiereyear%, but here is what I see in the attached log:

    _Line 219: SeriesPremiereDate: 1899-12-31T18:00:00_

_ Line 244: SeriesPremiereDate: 1899-12-31T18:00:00_
_ Line 273: SeriesPremiereDate: 1899-12-31T18:00:00_
_ Line 303: SeriesPremiereDate: 2007-09-09T19:00:00_
_ Line 332: SeriesPremiereDate: 2007-09-09T19:00:00_
_ Line 376: SeriesPremiereDate: 1899-12-31T18:00:00_

It ‘finds’ the correct premiere info 2 times, but I think ? the last attempt is taking precedent, as I get

WARNING> → Cannot find PremiereYear

Is there a way any valid date can supercede an invalid or blank date in metadata retrieval?

It didn’t find the matching information. What you’re seeing is partial information which cannot be matched.

Your original metadata from HDHR says:

Title: TMZ
Season: 11
Episode: 165

When it tries to match that information against the internet database, it found the series name TMZ which had the series premiere date (2007-09-09T19:00:00) but it could not find any season 11 Episode 165 so it didn’t update anything.

Try today’s 2.4.9 BETA build, we’ve added a check if the IMDB ID for the series is a confirmed match it will save what information it can that’s missing even if the episode information can’t be found (i.e it will save the series premiere date, but only on a confirmed IMDB Id match).
