TV show endpoint doesn't return an IMDB ID

Hi, I noticed that the endpoint to get the details for a TV show does not return the IMDB ID, unlike the movie details endpoint which an imdb_id property.
E.g.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/94028?api_key=XXX
doesn't return imdb_id, but when I search via its IMDB ID through the find endpoint, it correctly finds it, so it looks like it's there but just not returned
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt11016042?api_key=XXX&external_source=imdb_id
Any particular reason why is that so? If you have any suggestions on how to retrieve IMDB IDs for TV shows too, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can get additional details, like external ids, by using append_to_response:

I could swear I tried that too, but I must've had a typo because now it works great – thanks a lot @talestalker!
I was hoping this would work for the
search/multiendpoint as well, i.e.but in this case it looks like it's impossible to force the external IDs in the response. Unless I'm doing it wrong again?

As per the documentation
append_to_responseis only supported by the movie, TV, season, episode and person detail methods.
