When the sitcom premiered in July 1989, it was called The Seinfeld Chronicles. Afraid that viewers would confuse it with ABC’s The Marshall Chronicles, NBC decided to shorten the name to Seinfeld (via Cheatsheet). Since Marshall and Seinfeld aren’t similar names, it’s likely that given the latter’s superior quality, it would still have gone on to b...
Before becoming a talk show host, Ellen was a sitcom star. And after the first season of her first show, Ellen Degeneres had become more popular than every other character. The network thus felt that naming the show after the rising star would be a good idea. Capitalizing on a star’s popularity is a common trend in the movie and TV landscape, hence...
A month before the sketch comedy premiered, ABC launched Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell. To avoid confusion. NBC renamed its show but when the ABC one was canceled a year later, the original title was used once again. TV networks rarely attach their names to shows, hence the original title might have come off as uninspiring if it has been m...
When the pilot aired, the spinoff show was called Navy NCIS. For the following episodes, the title of the show was shortened to the one viewers are now familiar with. The title Navy NCIS is a poor one because it’s repetitive. After all, "NCIS" stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Services. Perhaps the creators worried that viewers wouldn’t have ...
After airing the title forGood Morning Miss Bliss, NBC passed on the show, but it was picked up by Disney. After Disney canceled it, NBC reacquired the show and changed the title. It was an essential name change since the plan going forward was to focus on the teenagers rather than the teacher known as Miss Bliss. This was all in line with structur...
After the departure of the star Michael Landon, the focus of the show shifted to an entirely new family. As a result, the title was also altered to reflect the new storylines. A name change coupled with a premise change as well as the departure of a fan-favorite character might be too much for audiences to handle. Such was the case here. Many didn’...
This title change had a different story behind it. Valery Harper got into a dispute over her pay but instead of her being paid more, her character was killed off. The show’s name was then edited to Valery’s Family and then to The Hogan Family. It’s undoubtedly the saddest reason for a name change since an actor that had made a show wildly popular d...
Including pizza in the title initially made sense since the main characters worked at a pizza place. But after they moved on to other things, a new title had to be created. Unfortunately, the title change ruined the show rather than helped it. After the next season,Two Guys And A Girlwas canceled, However, it could be argued that the pizza place as...
For most of its run, the FOX teenage comedy went by its original title. But in the final season, the title was shortened to the name of the main character. It was a justified name change since the final season adopted a more serious tone as opposed to the previous seasons when the main character was mostly portrayed as a trouble-causing teen. In th...
Since its premiere, the series about one of the most important members of Bat-family has simply been known as Pennyworth. But for the upcoming season, a subtitle has now been added to it.
