I've generally avoided NFO files unless absolutely needed.  I noticed that certain shows like The 2000s https://thetvdb.com/series/the-2000s and The 2010s https://thetvdb.com/series/the-2010s don't scrape well.

Is there a way to force a TVDB shown (like a file with a number) or are NFOs it?

"TMDb TVShows" as a scraper scans The 2000s fine if you add the year to the folder name

i just tested it with "The 2000s (2018)" and i expect the same to work for your other show

let me try with the year. I've been using TVDB, not TMDB.

You can also use a Parsing nfo file... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Parsing

This is what I was looking for. But it resolves it to IMDB, if I'm reading correctly. Which then tries to resolve it to other scrapers?

No.
If you use TMDB, then TMDB also has a field for IMDB, so it just does a lookup at TMDB. You can use IMDB or TMDB URL's

I'm using TVDB, but I will give this a shot to see how it goes
