[Madalin]

$ into \$

or just use set token [::http::geturl "http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/$shownumber?embed[]=nextepisode&embed[]=previousepisode" -timeout 4000]

its not caused by the $
its [] but adding "" doesnt help either :/

[nml375]

[] are used for command substitutions, and will cause issues with your code. Further, http URI's can't contain literal [], so you'll have to use %-substitutions; replace [ with %91, and ] with %93

Edit:
Accidentally wrote the decimal values as opposed to the hexadecimal ones;
"[" => "%5b"
"]" => "%5d"

That said, using ::http::formatQuery is indeed a better approach, as suggested by OP
