Line 2:
You may be looking for ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''.
When starting a new show, TV producers rarely can anticipate how successful it will be with the audience. But let's assume the show got popular, [[The Firefly Effect]] didn't hit it, and a row of sequels is inbound. Now, some producers play it simple and stick with season numbering. But the more creative types go for [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Oddly Named Sequels]] and thus, confront the fans with a difficult question: how do you refer to the first show, if its title is already used to refer to the entire franchise? Solution: "[[The Original Series]]".
A subtrope of [[Retronym]].
